Do United Kingdom passport holders need a visa to visit PE?
No. British citizens with an ordinary passport do not need a visa to visit Peru for tourism. You receive permission to stay up to 90 days (extendable to a maximum of 183 days) within a 180-day period on arrival, free of charge. UK ordinary passport holders enjoy visa-free entry to Peru for tourism and short visits. On arrival, immigration grants a stay of up to 90 days within a 180-day period (the 180-day window counts from your first entry), and this can be extended up to a maximum of 183 days in a 365-day period at the discretion of immigration. At international airports, your entry is registered digitally via the Tarjeta Andina de Migracion (TAM); no paper card is issued. If entering Peru by land, insist on a physical entry stamp, because you cannot legally exit without one. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival. Although the official GOV.UK page does not mandate it, carriers and border officers may ask for proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds, so carry both. There is no electronic travel authorization or pre-arrival visa requirement for short tourist stays as of May 2026. Overstaying triggers fines and potential detention, so verify your authorized period on the Migraciones website. Note that a separate TUUA airport use fee applies to passengers connecting or transiting through Lima airport, but this is an airport charge, not a visa.
