When to start
Start 15–30 days before your travel date.
By your country of origin you require a visa to enter Peru, so you must obtain a tourist visa at a Peruvian consular office. Do this at least 15 calendar days before your trip. One exception applies: Chinese and Indian ordinary-passport holders can enter without a tourist visa if they hold a 6-month-valid US, Canada, UK, Australia or Schengen visa, or residence there.
Collect the DGC 005 form, your valid passport, a round-trip ticket or booking to Peru, a hotel reservation (or tour-package booking, or an invitation letter legalised by Peru's Ministry of Foreign Affairs), two colour passport photographs, and proof of financial solvency (a recent bank statement).
Lodge your application in person at the Consular Section of the Embassy of Peru in the Arab Republic of Egypt and attend the personal interview scheduled by the Peruvian consul. Additional requirements may be requested during processing.
Pay the corresponding consular fee of 30.00 Soles Consulares (one Sol Consular is roughly equal to one US dollar; see the consulate's Tarifas Consulares for the local-currency equivalent).
Submitting the application and documents does not guarantee the visa — each request is assessed individually by the Peruvian consul, and additional requirements may be requested. Apply well before your trip.
The maximum stay with this visa is up to 183 calendar days without extension. On arrival go to the Migraciones control module — the migration officer stamps the time of stay you are authorised. Your Andean Virtual Migration Card (TAM) is created automatically.
