Travelers coming to Peru usually only need a
valid passport and a return ticket (anywhere
outside Peru). Please check with the Peruvian
government before coming. If you wish to stay
more than 90 days, you need to renew your
Tourist Card (given to you when you enter the
country) and visa (stamped into your passport)
in the Direction General de Migrations in Lima
(Av. España block 7, Breña, Lima; ph. 330-4111)
or the main cities. One thing you have to take
in account is to ask for at the moment your
tourist card is given to put it for 60 or 90
days, because it is usually given for 30 days.
Always carry your passport and tourist card (or
a photocopy) when walking by the street or using
a public transport in a city.
It is advisable to bring a student card (i.e.
ISIC) to save money in places and services like
museums, archaeological sites, buses, hotels and
hostels. There is no need to have an
international vaccination certificate, but if
you travel to some areas where a disease is
present (i.e. malaria, yellow fever). You will
need to be vaccinated before going. You can have
this done in most of the major cities. All the
foreign embassies and consulates are located in
Lima. Peruvian embassies and consulates are
found in all the neighboring countries and other
countries in the world. |
