Following the announcement by Foreign Affairs Minister Elmer Schialer regarding the Japanese Government's decision to lift the tourist visa requirement for Peruvians, it was disclosed that this measure could be implemented starting next year.

There are already countries where Peruvian citizens can travel without a visa.

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. It is the traveler's responsibility to verify whether or not a visa is required for entry.

According to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, these are the countries where Peruvians can travel without visa:

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 are allowed to 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.
