What happens at the border
1
Apply for a visa at the Peruvian embassy
Contact the Peruvian embassy or consulate in your country (or the nearest one if there is none in Lebanon). Submit the visa application form, your passport, photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking, and any other requested documents. Processing can take several weeks, so apply well in advance.
2
Wait for visa approval
After submitting, the embassy will process your application. You may be asked for an interview or additional documents. Once approved, you will receive a visa sticker in your passport.
3
Arrive at a Peruvian airport
When you land at Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima or another entry point, proceed to immigration. Have your passport with the visa, return ticket, and accommodation details ready. The officer may ask about your travel plans.
4
Receive entry stamp
If everything is in order, the immigration officer will stamp your passport with the authorized stay period (typically up to 90 days). Keep the stamp visible — you will need it when leaving.
