The United Kingdom (on November 9, 2022) was the last country to allow visa-free entry of Peruvians into its territory. In this regard, it is worth knowing that there are other countries like Argentina, Brazil, and more, where Peruvian nationals can travel using only their passport and/or ID card.
It should be pointed out that a visa is a (travel) document issued by a country that gives foreign citizens permission to enter its territory.
Therefore, it is the traveler's responsibility to check whether they will need a visa to enter those countries.
Countries where ID card is enough
Peruvians can enter Bolivia, Colombia, and Ecuador using only an ID card, that is, a visa or passport are not required to enter these countries, thanks to agreements reached in the
Andean Community of Nations (CAN).
Similarly, Peruvians can travel to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay using only an ID card, due to bilateral agreements that exempt Peruvian citizens from the passport requirement on tourist trips.
