United States to Peru visa requirements

No visa is needed for a short tourist visit. The U.S. State Department states that U.S. tourists do not need a visa for stays under 90 days; Peruvian sources also say tourist status can be granted up to 183 days, but the exact authorized stay is set by Migraciones on entry and shown in your TAM Virtual. U.S. ordinary passport holders can visit Peru for short tourism without applying for a visa, eVisa, visa on arrival, or pre-travel authorization. For conservative trip planning, use the U.S. State Department's U.S.-specific rule: no tourist visa is required for stays of less than 90 days. Peruvian official sources describe the tourist migratory status as allowing up to 183 calendar days, non-extendable, with the authorized length decided by the migration authority at entry; if planning to stay more than 90 days, confirm directly with Migraciones or a Peruvian consulate before travel and rely on the days recorded in your entry record/TAM Virtual. Peru requires a passport valid for at least six months at entry and one blank visa page. Peru has digitized international air-entry records, so the free TAM Virtual is the practical proof of regular entry and authorized stay; download it from the Migraciones portal and check the days granted. Carry return or onward travel, accommodation or host details, and funds evidence in case requested. Overstaying triggers a daily fine of 0.1% of the UIT; with the 2026 UIT at S/ 5,500, that is S/ 5.50 per day. More than USD 10,000 in cash must be declared, and Peru lists USD 30,000 as the entry/exit currency restriction.
