South Korea to Peru visa requirements

South Korean ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa to enter Peru for tourism. You may enter visa-free; immigration officers grant a tourist stay (commonly 90 days, up to a legal maximum of 183 days per 365-day period). Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months on entry. Peru grants visa-free entry to South Korean (Republic of Korea) ordinary passport holders for tourism and short visits under a long-standing bilateral arrangement. No visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required. On arrival, a Peruvian immigration (Migraciones) officer determines and stamps your authorized length of stay; in practice tourists are commonly granted 90 days, with a legal ceiling of 183 days within any 365-day period. There is no entry fee for the visa-free stamp. Peru is in South America and is NOT part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Requirements at the border include a passport valid for at least six months beyond entry, at least one blank page for the stamp, proof of onward/return travel, and proof of sufficient funds for the stay. Stay extensions at Migraciones are generally limited to Andean Community nationals, so South Korean travelers should plan to depart before their granted period expires. Overstaying results in fines payable before departure. These rules are confirmed by the U.S. State Department country information, Wikipedia's visa requirements tables, and visa advisory aggregators, and remain current as of 2026.
