Italy to Peru visa requirements

No visa required. Italian ordinary passport holders can enter Peru visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days (extendable by the border officer up to a maximum of 183 days per 365-day period). Italy is on Peru's visa-exemption list, so holders of an ordinary Italian passport do not need any visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival for tourism or short visits. On arrival your stay is recorded electronically through the virtual Tarjeta Andina de Migracion (TAM) - there is no paper form to fill in, and since 2023 Peru no longer stamps passports for most arrivals. The standard grant is up to 90 days, though immigration officers have discretion to grant anywhere from 30 up to 183 days within a 365-day period; the amount you actually receive is set by the officer at entry. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date. Note that overstays incur daily fines, and since 2021 tourist-stay extensions inside the country are generally not granted, so request enough days at the border. Peru is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route (ETIAS concerns travel into Europe, not into Peru). A separate airport-use fee (TUUA) applies to passengers using Lima's Jorge Chavez International Airport, but this is not a visa charge.
