Luxembourg passport holders can enter Peru without a visa for tourism or business stays up to 90 days. This policy remains in effect as of 2026. You just need a valid passport and a few standard documents to show at immigration.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Luxembourg passport must be valid for the entire period you plan to stay in Peru. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Peruvian law, but airlines may enforce a 6-month rule — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Peru | Immigration officers at Jorge Chávez Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket before granting entry. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready — they will check the date matches your intended stay. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a copy of your hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or credit card showing access to at least $1,000 USD or equivalent. Immigration may ask for it if you look underfunded or have no return ticket. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Peru, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew before you go.
No extension possible
The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. Plan your departure accordingly. Overstaying leads to fines and potential entry bans.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free stay is not extendable. You must leave before day 90. Overstaying can result in fines and future entry bans.
You cannot extend the visa-free period. You'd need to leave Peru (e.g., to a neighboring country) and re-enter, but immigration may question frequent back-to-back visits. For longer stays, apply for a residence visa at a Peruvian consulate before traveling.
Not required for entry from Luxembourg, but recommended if you plan to visit the Amazon region (e.g., Iquitos, Puerto Maldonado). Some border crossings may ask for proof.
Technically, the tourist visa does not permit paid work for a Peruvian employer. Remote work for a foreign company is generally tolerated, but it's a gray area. For official work, you need a work visa.
You'll be fined approximately $1 per day overstayed, payable at immigration when you leave. Overstays over 30 days can lead to a ban from re-entering Peru for up to 3 years.
No, Peru does not require an online arrival declaration for Luxembourg passport holders. You just go through passport control with your documents.
No, visa on arrival is not available. You enter visa-free for up to 90 days.
