Argentina to Peru

Peru is one of those places that stays with you long after the trip ends - Machu Picchu at sunrise, ceviche that ruins every other seafood forever, and the kind of biodiversity in the Amazon that makes you feel genuinely small. For Argentine travellers, the journey there is refreshingly hassle-free. No visa to apply for, no embassy appointment to chase, and no forms to file weeks ahead. You book your flights, show up, and Peru takes care of the rest.

Stay Duration

Up to 90 days

Passport Validity

Your passport should ideally have at least six months of validity from the date of arrival, as many airlines enforce this requirement even when immigration rules may be more flexible.

Required Documentation for Entry

Valid Passport

A valid Argentine passport with sufficient validity for the duration of the trip, ideally at least six months from the date of arrival.

Proof of Onward Travel

Immigration may ask how you plan to leave - a return flight, a bus crossing into Chile, or any confirmed ticket with a real date on it does the job. Whether it is air, land, or sea does not matter. Just have the confirmation somewhere you can get to it quickly.

Proof of Accommodation

A hotel reservation, an Airbnb confirmation, or details of a host, including their address and contact information. Officers want to know where you are sleeping when you first arrive - a screenshot or printed booking covers it completely.

Proof of Financial Means

Most travellers pass through without being asked, but the option is there for officers to request it. A bank statement or a credit card with available funds answers the question in seconds. Worth having it somewhere accessible just in case.
