Russian Federation to Peru visa requirements

No visa required. Russian ordinary passport holders can enter Peru visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days, under a mutual visa-waiver agreement in force since June 2011. Russia and Peru maintain a reciprocal visa-exemption agreement that entered into force on 20 June 2011. As of 2026, holders of an ordinary Russian passport do not need a visa for tourism, transit, or short business visits to Peru. On arrival, the Peruvian immigration officer (Migraciones) determines and stamps the permitted stay, typically up to 90 days. Peru's overall ceiling for foreign tourists is 183 days within any 365-day period, but the duration granted is at the officer's discretion and the 90-day exemption is the practical standard. The stay granted on entry to visa-exempt tourists is generally not extendable; travelers wishing to remain longer must leave and re-enter or apply for an appropriate residence status. There is no visa fee. Standard entry conditions apply: a passport valid for the duration of stay (six months' validity is widely recommended by airlines), proof of onward or return travel, and evidence of sufficient funds and accommodation. Peru abolished paper Andean Migration Cards (TAM) some years ago; entry/exit is now recorded electronically, so travelers should keep proof of their entry stamp or digital record. Peru is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route. This verdict is corroborated by Wikipedia's visa-policy data, the IATA-aligned travel references, and visa-exemption listings; travelers should reconfirm with the Peruvian Embassy in Moscow or Migraciones Peru before departure.
