Do you need a visa?

Travel with a valid passport and keep supporting documents available for border inspection. A return or onward ticket may be requested. For the exact conditions that apply to your circumstances, consult the official portal or the competent embassy.

Documents and fees

No tourist visa application file needs to be submitted for this route because no visa is required for the stated short stay. Any additional documents that may be requested on entry, and information about other formalities, should be confirmed through the official portal or the competent embassy.

Common mistakes

Do not pay a website claiming to sell a mandatory tourist visa for Peruvian passport holders travelling to Spain for a short stay. Such offers can be misleading because this route is visa-exempt. Use the official portal or the competent embassy to confirm your individual situation.
