Visas & paperwork · Peru

Hi everyone,

I saw on the French Embassy in Peru’s website and the Peruvian Consulate in Paris’s site that the rule is to have a passport valid for 6 months *after the arrival date* (not the return date).

I arrive in Peru on August 13, 2019 (for about twelve days), and my passport is valid until February 16, 2020.

That’s 6 months and 3 days after my arrival date in Peru. In my opinion, I’m good to go.

But could I still be denied entry if they say I don’t cover the return date or that I’m too close to the 6-month mark?

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi there,

Next September (2025), we’re heading to Latin America as a family for a year, and we’re thinking of buying a vehicle (car, van, or camper) in Punta Arenas, Chile, to sell it later in Lima, Peru. While I don’t think buying in Punta Arenas will be too complicated, I’m looking for info on border-crossing requirements (Chile-Argentina / Argentina-Chile / Chile-Bolivia, and Bolivia-Peru), as well as the steps and conditions for selling the vehicle in Peru.

Thanks in advance for your help!
