What requirements do I need to travel to Peru in 2024?

Are you planning to travel to Peru in 2024? If it is like that, it is important to inform you about the requirements for travel to Perú.

In November 2022, the Peruvian government announced a series of measures to relax travel requirements, including the elimination of the vaccination test and the negative PCR test. However, there are still some documents you should be aware of.

In this article, we will tell you everything you need to know about the requirements to travel to Peru in 2024.

IMPORTANT: The Peruvian Government, through Supreme Decree No. 130-2022, has provided for the repeal of the State of National Emergency due to COVID-19.

Therefore: For entry into the country, it will not be necessary to present a vaccination card or negative molecular test in any case.

To enter Peru, international travelers generally had to comply with the following requirements:

1. Valid Passport:  You must have a valid passport during your stay in Peru. Make sure your passport has adequate validity.
2. Visa (if necessary):  The need for a visa depends on your country of origin. Some countries have visa waiver agreements with Peru, allowing their citizens to enter for tourism without a visa, usually for a limited period. Check if you need a visa before traveling.
3. Andean Migration Card (TAM): Upon arrival in Peru, you will receive an Andean Migration Card (TAM) that you must complete and keep during your stay. This card is important for check-in and check-out.
4. Vaccinations and Health:  Depending on your country of origin and health circumstances, certain vaccinations may be required, especially in situations of infectious disease outbreaks. These regulations may change over time.
5. Medical Insurance:  It is recommended to have travel medical insurance to cover medical expenses in case of illness or injury during your stay in Peru.
6. Customs and Declaration of Goods:  You must declare any valuable items you bring into the country, such as electronic equipment, jewelry, or significant sums of cash, to avoid problems at customs.
7. Visas for Business or Other Reasons:  If your visit to Peru is for purposes other than tourism, such as business, work, or study, specific visas and other documents may be required.

It is important to check the latest requirements at the Peruvian embassy or consulate in your country, as well as on official Peruvian immigration and public health websites.
