II. Temporary Visas
A. Tourist
| • |
All the general requirements |
| • |
A voucher that the applicant is economically solvent. |

Note: Tourist visas are obtained in the airport upon arrival in Peru or at Peruvian border crossings. The tourist visas are given for a maximum of 90 days, although visas have been known to be as short as 30 days. You can tell the immigration officer upon entry that you would like to have the full 90 days, but the discretion lies with the officer. It is your responsibility to make sure your passport is stamped. You will need to have your visa upon departure from Peru, which means you will have to keep it safe during your time here. If you would like to extend your visa, you must present the old one to the Immigration Office at the time of extension. If you loose your visa, you will have to renew it at the Immigration Office (see below for address). Renewals should not cost anything if done in Lima. Extensions are handled at the same office, but do come at a cost. |
