Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for at least the length of your stay in Peru. Airlines at departure check this, but Peruvian immigration rarely enforces a 6-month rule — just make sure it doesn't expire while you're there. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Peru | Immigration officers at Lima Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket before stamping you in. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they won't let you through without one. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed or digital copy of your hotel reservation or a letter from your host. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or credit card showing at least $1,000 USD available. Immigration almost never checks this for Slovak passport holders, but it's good to have just in case. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check passport validity at check-in. If your passport expires within 6 months of your entry date, you will be denied boarding — no exceptions.
No visa, no fees, no forms
Slovak passport holders pay nothing to enter Peru. No visa application, no visa fee, no online registration. Just your passport and a return ticket.
