US passport holders enter Peru visa-free for up to 183 days. No advance application is needed. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. At Jorge Chavez International Airport (LIM) in Lima, immigration stamps your passport and writes the authorized number of days (up to 183). A return or onward ticket may be requested. An online Tarjeta Andina de Migracion (TAM) form at tam.migraciones.gob.pe should be completed within 48 hours before arrival.
The number of days granted at entry is at the immigration officer's discretion, so if you plan a long stay, have your itinerary ready to show. Extensions beyond the granted period require visiting the Superintendencia Nacional de Migraciones in Lima.
