What it means in practice
The officer at the border decides how long you may stay in Peru; the date in your passport stamp is the one that counts. Ask for the days you need and carry proof of onward travel.
Days in Peru also add up over time: 183 days per year (counted here as any 365 days). Leaving and coming back does not reset that total, so earlier stays count. The stay calculator checks both limits when you add your earlier trips.
How Peru counts your stay: You may stay the number of days granted at entry, within a maximum of 183 days per year. Overstay costs 0.1% of the UIT tax unit per extra day, paid on departure, and can lead to a re-entry ban.
At the border
Official details are shown in English.
- Passport valid for at least 6 months; a damaged passport can lead to refusal
- Air arrivals: no stamp, the entry is recorded in the Virtual TAM (check it online). Land and sea crossings still get a physical stamp — make sure you receive it
- Customs baggage declaration; cash or financial instruments over USD 10,000 must be declared on it
- Minors travelling alone or with one parent need a travel authorisation
How to avoid overstaying
- Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
- Extend before you run out. The tourist stay cannot be extended. To stay for another purpose (work, study, investment) apply to Migraciones for a change of migration status.
- Keep a record of every entry and exit. The period limit adds up all your stays, and border officers can see them.
- What overstaying costs. Overstay costs 0.1% of the UIT tax unit per extra day, paid on departure, and can lead to a re-entry ban.
