Passport and transit notes
- Passport validity
- The current nationality table requires a valid and unexpired ordinary passport but does not publish a separate universal six-month passport buffer for this route.
- Validity source (opens in a new tab) Validity guide
- Transit
- airside transit: conditional; landside transit: conditional; Peru's current table applies the same conditional visa exemption to the transit category and defines the transit permission as up to 2 days. Confirm whether the itinerary remains airside; crossing border control without the qualifying document requires the appropriate visa.

Why this verdict
Peru's Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists India as conditionally visa-exempt. Without one of the published qualifying visas or permanent-residence documents, an Indian ordinary-passport holder still needs a temporary tourist visa before travel.
Conditional rules
- Holder of a visa valid for at least 6 months or permanent residence in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States or a Schengen-area state Visa-free
Up to 180 days. Peru allows qualifying Indian ordinary-passport holders to visit without a temporary tourist visa for up to 180 non-extendable days in a 365-day period.
