Peru: Documents Needed for Entry

Citizens of North America including Canada only require a valid passport to enter Peru. You need to ensure that your passport has at least 6 months left to run after the date that you enter the country.

On arrival you will be given a tourist card which you fill out in duplicate. At the immigration office you will normally get a 90 day stay in Peru; both your passport and the tourist card are stamped and you will be given one copy of the tourist card to keep. Do not lose it since you need to hand it back when leaving the country. Losing the card will incur plenty of hassle in replacing it.

Below are the more details on what you need to prepare before entering the country:
