Myanmar passport holders need a visa to enter Peru in 2026. You must apply at a Peruvian embassy or consulate before you travel — there is no visa on arrival or e-visa option for Myanmar citizens. Plan ahead, as processing can take several weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Apply at Peruvian embassy or consulate | Myanmar passport holders need a visa before traveling to Peru. Apply at the nearest Peruvian embassy or consulate — processing takes 5–10 business days. Submit your application in person with the required documents (passport, photos, flight itinerary, hotel booking, bank statements).Check visa requirements | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date into Peru. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. Carry a photocopy of the bio-data page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Jorge Chávez Airport ask for a return or onward ticket before letting you through. Have a printed copy or a screenshot of your booking ready. If you're continuing to another country, show that ticket instead. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Keep a printed hotel reservation or an invitation letter from your host in Peru. Officers rarely ask, but having it ready avoids delays. If staying with friends, get a notarized letter of invitation from them. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statements or cash | Carry bank statements from the last 3 months showing at least $500 USD or equivalent. Immigration may ask how you'll support yourself during your stay. Credit card statements also work. | Recommended |
Visa required — apply well in advance
Myanmar passport holders cannot enter Peru without a pre-approved visa. There is no visa on arrival or e-visa option. Start the application process at least 2 months before your trip to avoid delays.
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 your passport expires sooner, renew it first.
