Vietnam to Peru visa requirements

A consular tourist visa is required. Vietnamese ordinary passport holders must apply in person at a Peruvian embassy/consulate before travel. There is no visa-free, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival option. Vietnamese ordinary passport holders are not exempt from Peru's visa requirement and must obtain a Temporary (tourist) visa before travelling. Peru does not operate an electronic visa (eVisa) system and does not grant visa-on-arrival to Vietnamese nationals, so the visa must be applied for in person at a Peruvian diplomatic mission (the Embassy of Peru in Hanoi serves Vietnam). The visa is a sticker placed in the passport. Once admitted, tourists may stay up to a cumulative 183 days within a 365-day period, which migration officers set at the border. Applicants should budget roughly 10 working days for processing and prepare proof of funds, accommodation, and onward travel. Always confirm current fees and document lists directly with the Peruvian consulate, as consular fees vary by mission.
