Peru visa, handled for you from Surat
Peru has no online visa or third-party filing for Indian citizens — every standard application goes through the Embassy of Peru in New Delhi in person, though holders of a valid US, Canada, UK, Australian or Schengen visa can skip it entirely and enter visa-free.
Peru is visa-free for Indian passport holders for up to 90 days (visa) · up to 180 days in 365 (visa-free exemption) — no visa needed before you fly. Explera Vacations, Surat's IATA-certified travel desk since 2009, confirms the current rule, pre-checks your passport and return-ticket proof, and can book the whole trip (7–10 working days).

Overview
Peru’s visa process for Indian passport holders is unusually manual: the Embassy of Peru in New Delhi is the only authorised channel, applications cannot be submitted online or through most travel agencies directly, and every applicant must appear or route through an authorised representative. Explera manages the embassy liaison and appointment so you don’t have to navigate this alone.
The exemption most of our clients actually use: if you already hold a valid visa from the USA, Canada, UK, Australia or a Schengen country, you can enter Peru visa-free for up to 180 days within any 365-day period — no Peruvian visa required. We check this first, since it applies to a large share of Surat’s frequent international travellers.

Why Peru visas get refused — and how we prevent it
Most refusals come down to avoidable mistakes. Explera pre-screens every application against each of these before we file:
Incomplete, inconsistent or poorly-scanned documents
Insufficient or unexplained bank balance and unclear funding
Passport valid for less than 6 months or without blank pages
Weak travel history or an unconvincing purpose of visit for first-time applicants
Unconfirmed or unrealistic itinerary, tickets or hotel bookings
Tips for a smooth Peru visa
- ✓Keep your passport valid at least 6 months beyond your Peru travel dates, with 2+ blank pages.
- ✓Maintain a healthy, steady bank balance for 3–6 months before you apply — sudden large deposits raise questions.
- ✓Apply early: start your Peru visa at least 3–4 weeks before departure to absorb any delay.
- ✓Bundle your visa with flights, hotels and insurance through Explera — a complete, consistent file approves faster.
