When to start
Start 1–7 days before your travel date.
Peru's official MFA visa-exoneration table for ordinary passports lists Brazil as exonerated (Exoneración de Visa: Si) with a tourist stay of tourist stay up to 90 days, extendable once for the same period within 365 days of first entry. You enter as a tourist without any visa.
Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months — it is mandatory, and if it does not meet this requirement you will not be allowed to enter Peru. Citizens of the Andean Community and Mercosur may instead enter with their national identity card.
Be ready to show, at the border, proof of onward or return travel and sufficient funds for your stay, plus proof of accommodation. You do not apply for anything in advance — admission is decided by the migration officer on arrival.
Go to the Migraciones control module to register your entry — your Andean Virtual Migration Card (TAM) is created automatically and records your authorised stay. Do not exceed it: overstaying incurs a daily fine of 0.1% of the Tax Unit (UIT). You may extend up to tourist stay up to 90 days, extendable once for the same period within 365 days of first entry where the table allows.

Gotchas to watch
- Visa-free admission is for tourism only — it does not let you work or take up paid local employment.
- Your passport must be valid at least six months, or you will be refused entry.
- Do not overstay your authorised time — Migraciones charges a daily fine of 0.1% of the Tax Unit (UIT) for each day of excess stay.
- If you leave Peru overland to a neighbouring country, always pass through an immigration control post to register your departure — otherwise you may be barred from re-entering or boarding a flight.
- If you need to sign commercial, financial or public documents as a tourist, request a special permit from Migraciones through its Digital Agency.
- Visa-free status does not guarantee entry — the migration officer at the border makes the final decision and records your authorised stay.
