Travel requirements to Peru for Indian citizens

Travellers need a visa to visit Peru for Business or Tourism. Travellers must obtain a paper or embassy visa from an embassy, consulate or visa center before travelling.

Travellers who hold Peruvian citizenship in addition to another nationality must exit Peru using the same travel document with which they entered. Travellers entering on a foreign passport will be classified as tourists with a limited length of stay. Entering on a Peruvian passport allows an unlimited stay.

Travellers need a valid passport to enter Peru. The traveller's passport must remain valid for at least 6 months after the traveller arrives in Peru.

Travellers should consider:

• Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B vaccines;
• Typhoid vaccine for visits to smaller cities or rural areas;
• Routine vaccines including Measles;
• Yellow Fever vaccination, only if travelling to areas below 2300 meters in the regions of Amazonas, Loreto, Madre de Dios, San Martin, Ucayali, Puno, Cuzco, Junin, Pasco and Huanuco and designated areas of the following regions: far-north of Apurimac, far-northern Huancavelica, farnortheastern Ancash, eastern La Libertad, northern and eastern Cajamarca, northern and northeastern Ayacucho, and eastern Piura.

Yellow Fever vaccination is not recommended for all areas above 2300 meters, areas west of the Andes not listed above, the city of Cuzco, the capital city of Lima, Machu Picchu, and the Inca Trail. Yellow Fever vaccination is generally not recommended for travellers whose itineraries are limited to the following areas west of the Andes: the regions of Lambayeque and Tumbes, the designated areas of western Piura and the south, west, and central Cajamarca.

Additional vaccine recommendations may apply. Consult your healthcare provider and check the source for details.

• Health screening: While not always required, officials might ask for a health certificate or a medical exam upon arrival. This is more likely if you're coming from an area with a health outbreak or if you show signs of illness.
