    Peru: Peruvian-passport citizenship treatment

    Migration guidance confirms that a person using a Peruvian passport has no limit on stay in Peru; this is citizenship, not a foreign visitor-visa route.

    • The cited guidance concerns Peruvian nationals, including people with multiple nationalities, using a Peruvian passport for immigration control.
    • It does not determine dual-national documentation, departure requirements, identity-card use, nationality acquisition, loss, renunciation or individual border-admission circumstances.

    Peru: named ordinary passports visa-free for tourist entry

    The current Foreign Ministry ordinary-passport table marks these nationalities as exempt (Sí) from the tourist visa requirement. This is visa-free entry, not an eVisa, visa on arrival, transit waiver or document-only route.

    • The policy is limited to the table's tourist column and ordinary passports; it does not classify transit, business, study, employment, residence, diplomatic, official, service, special, identity-card or other-document routes.
    • The table assigns nationality-specific stay limits and extension rules. No uniform duration, extension, entry count, fee, port, health, funds, onward-travel or admission condition is inferred.
    • Foreign visitors remain subject to migration control and the corresponding temporary immigration category; a visa exemption does not guarantee admission.

    Peru: named ordinary passports requiring a tourist visa

    The current Foreign Ministry ordinary-passport table marks these nationalities as not exempt (No) from the tourist visa requirement. This is an advance visa requirement, not an eVisa or visa-on-arrival route.

    • The Ministry's legend states that No means the traveller is not exempt and requires a visa to enter Peru; the policy is limited to the ordinary-passport tourist column.
    • The current tourist-visa service directs affected travellers to apply through Peruvian consular offices at least 15 calendar days before travel. It does not directly establish an electronically issued eVisa, an ETA or a visa-on-arrival route for this cohort.
    • No duration, entries, fee, processing outcome, port, extension, health, funds, onward-travel or admission condition is inferred. Diplomatic, official, service, special, residence, transit, business, study, work and other non-tourist exceptions are outside this baseline.

    Peru: Venezuelan ordinary passports

    Peru's current Foreign Ministry procedure directs Venezuelan tourism visitors to request a visa at a Peruvian consulate.

    • Applies to an ordinary Venezuelan passport holder seeking recreational or tourism visitor travel.
    • The migration resolution specifies a valid ordinary Venezuelan passport and a visa granted by a Peruvian consular office.
    • Its one-time expired-passport provision concerns in-country migration-status changes for specified prior entrants, not new visitor admission.
    • Does not classify Pacific Alliance residence-document exemptions, humanitarian, work, residence, study, transit, diplomatic, official or special-document travel.

    Indian ordinary passports: Peru advance tourist visa

    Peru's current ordinary-passport table marks India visa-required by default and waives that requirement only for holders of specified third-country visas or permanent residence. The current Embassy procedure requires advance application and in-person processing in New Delhi.

    • Applies to an ordinary Indian passport holder visiting as a tourist without the table's qualifying United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia or Schengen visa or permanent-residence exception.
    • Apply before travel through the Embassy of Peru in New Delhi. The current procedure requires consular submission and an in-person interview and says processing normally takes 7 to 10 working days after the interview.
    • The source states a multiple-entry tourist visa validity of up to 183 days. Work, residence, transit, special documents, qualifying-document exceptions and final admission remain outside this baseline.
