Do I Need a Visa for Peru?
U.S. citizens traveling to Peru do not need to obtain a visa if their stay is under 183 days.
If you are staying over 183 days, then you need to obtain a visa. Once you have a visa, you will not be able to renew or extend it without re-applying. The Peruvian government may require extra materials from business travelers and/or provide less time in-country.
See below or contact a Passport Health travel documents specialist about other visa types.
