Connecting through another country?
This page covers a direct flight to Peru. If your route connects through a third country, that country may require its own transit visa — sometimes even for a short stop inside the airport between flights (a layover). Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.
What to know before you go
Check your phone coverage abroad
INFOYou're travelling to Peru (PE). Your home cellular plan may or may not include data abroad — check your carrier's international options before you fly. An eSIM is a low-commitment alternative if your plan doesn't cover the destination or charges high roaming rates.
Cash declaration threshold: EUR 10,000 for Italy (IT)
INFODeclare EUR 10,000 or equivalent when entering or leaving Italy (IT). Form: Cash declaration form. EU-wide: declare €10,000+ when entering/leaving the EU. Individual member states may have additional rules.
US travel advisory: Peru — Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution)
INFOThe US State Department publishes these advisories for your route. Peru: Level 2 — Exercise Increased Caution (as of 2025-05-16). Review the country page for the specific areas and risks flagged before you go. This is a US State Department safety perspective, not an entry or boarding rule — it doesn't affect whether you can board, only what to be aware of on the ground. Travellers from other countries should also check their own government's advisory.
Malaria-endemic destination: Peru (PE)
INFOYour itinerary touches Peru (PE), where malaria transmission occurs. Transmission is often region-limited within a country (e.g. coastal vs highland zones) and varies by season. Discuss prophylaxis with a travel medicine clinician — the right antimalarial depends on the specific region, your medical history, and any medications you take.
Bring proof you'll leave Peru
WARNPeru requires proof you'll leave before they let you in. At check-in the airline often asks for this — without it, they can deny boarding because the carrier becomes liable for flying you back. Easiest fixes, in order: (1) book a refundable return or onward flight, (2) use a one-way bus / train ticket out, or (3) buy a temporary onward-ticket reservation through a service like OnwardTicket. Have whichever you choose printed or on your phone before you reach the counter.
We don't yet have verified visa data for Peru
INFOYour passport-to-Peru pairing isn't in our verified reference yet — coverage is expanding. Before booking, confirm the requirement directly with Peru's official immigration portal (linked below). If a visa is needed it usually has to be applied for in advance, so don't rely on a check-in agent's word.
