Good to know

France ordinary passport holders are visa-exempt for tourism and business in Peru (Foreign Ministry table, PDF dated 16 Jul 2026, legal basis listed as bilateral agreement N° B-3929; the table also cites D.S. N° 022-2016-RE ratifying the Peru–EU short-stay visa-waiver agreement). The term is '90***', defined as '90 days every 180 days from the first entry into national territory' — a 90-in-180-day rule like Schengen's, which we model as a 180-day rolling window. No extension is mentioned for this category. Passport validity: the Embassy of Peru in Singapore's visa FAQ (gob.pe, 22 Mar 2026) says the passport 'must have a minimum of 6 months validity from the date of entry to Peru'; the UK FCDO and Global Affairs Canada travel advice say the same. Air arrivals are not stamped; Migraciones records entry digitally (virtual TAM) and you can check your authorised stay online at Migraciones; land arrivals must get an entry stamp (FCDO, Global Affairs Canada). Global Affairs Canada says officials may ask for a return/onward ticket, proof of accommodation and proof of funds, and that overstaying incurs a fine for each day, payable on exit. Law: Decreto Legislativo 1350 (Migraciones) as amended by D.Leg. 1582 (El Peruano) sets the tourist stay at 'up to 183 calendar days, cumulative over a 365-day period counted from the first regular entry', or the shorter term fixed in a visa-waiver agreement; where less than 183 days is granted an extension can be granted up to that limit unless the agreement sets a lower term or forbids extension. Tourist status does not allow paid work.
