Visiting Peru: Ugandan citizen → Peru
You need a visa — apply at a Peruvian consulate
Uganda passport holders are not on Peru's tourist visa-exoneration list, so you must obtain an ordinary tourist visa in person at a Peruvian consular office before travelling. Peru has no e-visa or visa on arrival for tourism; do this at least 15 calendar days before your trip.
The bottom line
- Your passport must be valid for at least six months; if it does not meet this requirement you will not be allowed to enter Peru.
- Separately, Decreto Supremo N° 061-2016-RE lets visa-nationals who hold permanent residence in Mexico, Chile or the United States enter Peru as tourists without a visa — confirm the conditions before you travel.
- Submitting a visa application and the required documents does not automatically guarantee the visa — each request is assessed individually by the Peruvian consul, and additional requirements may be requested.

Where you'll apply
Apply in person at the Peruvian consular office serving your country: complete the DGC-005 form, book the personal interview, and bring your passport, return ticket, hotel or tour booking, two photos and proof of funds. The consular fee is 30 Soles Consulares (≈ USD 30).
