Do Germany passport holders need a visa to visit PE?

German ordinary-passport holders do NOT need a visa to visit Peru for tourism. You may enter visa-free for a short stay; the immigration officer grants up to 90 days (maximum 183 days per year). Carry a passport valid at least 6 months and proof of onward/return travel. Germany (DE) ordinary passport holders enjoy visa-free entry to Peru for tourism and short visits. The German Federal Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt) confirms that German nationals need no visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days per half-year. Peru's immigration authority (Superintendencia Nacional de Migraciones) grants the actual length of stay at the border based on the traveler's stated plans — typically up to 90 days, and not exceeding a cumulative 183 days within a 365-day period. Since May 2023 Peru no longer stamps passports; entry and stay data are recorded electronically (the digital Tarjeta Andina de Migración / TAM), and the authorized period can be checked online via Migraciones. Travelers must hold a passport valid for at least six months on the date of entry, or they risk refusal at the border even for a short trip. Onward or return tickets and proof of sufficient funds may occasionally be requested. Peru is in South America and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to entering Peru (ETIAS instead concerns Peruvians and other third-country nationals entering Europe). Extensions of a tourist stay are generally not granted beyond the allowance; travelers needing longer must apply for the appropriate visa. The verdict is firmly visa-free, corroborated by the Auswärtiges Amt and consular sources.
