Visa type details
Tourist visa
- The Peruvian tourist visa is eligible for Ugandans who have the intention of visiting Peru for tourism purposes.
- The Peruvian tourist visa is a single-entry visa and it is valid for 180 days. If you need to re-enter the country after leaving, you will need to get another visa.
- Students who intend to study at a Peruvian educational institution or desiring to do an internship or apprenticeship at a Peruvian company can also do so with the tourist visa, as long as the program duration does not exceed 180 days.
- However, your length of approved stay will be determined by border officials at the time of entry, and can range from 30 to 183 days.
- The Peruvian tourist Visa cannot be extended after it has expired.
- If you overstay your visa, you will be asked to pay a fine of $1 per day from each day of the expiration of the visa.
- Travelers with more than $10,000 USD or equivalent in any other currency must have it declared upon entry.
- If you do not have an entry record, you will not be allowed to exit the country until immigration authorities confirm the time and place of your entry into the country. This can be a difficult process, costing considerable time and money to resolve.
- Make sure Immigration (Migraciones) records your entry, and then save the record for your exit. An entry record is required even at remote border crossings, where often the proper officials are not present.
- Vaccinations for the following conditions are required:
- Hepatitis A
- Hepatitis B
- Chicken pox
- Yellow fever
- Foreigners who intend to sign contracts in the country need a permit from the Immigration Office, otherwise the contracts will not be valid.
Business visa
- Ugandans traveling to Peru for business purposes need to secure a business visa.
- Holders of the Peru business visa can negotiate and sign business contracts while they are in the country. They can also engage in other business-related activities, such as attending conferences, summits and trade fairs.
- Unlike the tourist visa, the Peru business visa is a multiple-entry visa.
- A business introductory letter and a letter of invitation from the host company must also be provided.
- This letter must include:
- Your full name, date of birth, nationality and intended dates of travel.
- The name of the host organization, their address and phone number.
- The purpose and nature of your visit in detail.
- Number of intended entries and length of validity of the visa.
- The certificate of business registration of the company in Peru is required.

- Proof of previous business dealings with the Peruvian company must be provided, if any.
- A police report stating that you have not been convicted before is required.
Work visa
- The Peruvian work visa is for Ugandans who intend to take up paid work in Peru.
- If you want to work in Peru, you will need a special visa called “el Carné de extranjeria” that translates to Foreign Resident ID Card.
- This visa allows you to work without having a limit to the number of days you can stay in the country.
- To apply for the Foreign Resident ID Card, you will need to pay an initial fee of $200 and then $20 yearly.
- Before applying for the Peruvian Work Visa, you must have had a contract with a company that wants to hire you in the country.
- The contract must be signed and approved by Peruvian Labor Ministry.
