Mexico announces new visa requirement for nationals of Peru

Effective 20 April 2024, nationals of Peru must obtain a visa prior to entering Mexico for business, tourism or to transit through the country. Starting on this date, Peruvian nationals will be required to have a visitor visa prior to travel, a passport that is valid for at least 180 days and other supporting documents (e.g., invitation letter, hotel/flight reservation) to be admitted. Peruvian nationals will remain exempt from presenting a Mexican visa (including for transit purposes) provided they have: (1) a valid visa issued by Canada, Japan, the United States of America, the United Kingdom or any of the countries comprising the Schengen Area, or (2) a valid permanent resident card issued by Canada, Chile, Colombia, Japan, Peru, the United States of America, the United Kingdom or any of the countries comprising the Schengen Area.
