Peru is on the UAE visa free list. UAE MOFA shows the same arrival rule as other South American passports: a free multiple entry visit visa, valid 6 months, with up to 90 days in total. Past that point the cost is AED 600 plus 5% VAT for an extension.
Quick facts
- Visa on arrival: free
- Validity: 6 months, multiple entries
- Total stay: 90 days
- Extension for the same period: AED 600 plus 5% VAT
Checked on the UAE MOFA visa exemptions page, the Emirates visa information page and the GDRFA extension fee. No agency price range was found.
Help we give
Travelling with a parent who holds another passport? That parent's visa goes in first. Planning more than 90 days? The extension must be filed before day 90. Moving for a job or family? That is a work permit or residence file, never a visit.
Before you fly
Pack a return flight and a hotel or host address. Officers can ask what you plan to do, and a screenshot of your booking answers it. Count your days from landing in Dubai. Day 90 is the hard stop, and an overstay is fined every day.
Lima and Dubai offices
Per the UAE foreign ministry directory, Peru has an Embassy in Abu Dhabi and a Consulate General in Dubai. The page lists no services, so ask them what they handle.
The Emirati side
UAE MOFA announced on that Emiratis with normal passports can visit Peru for up to 90 days over 180 days without a visa. For a UAE resident of another nationality going to Peru, see Peru visa for UAE residents.
How it works with us
Send a passport page and your plans on WhatsApp or the form here. We check each traveller and quote one total for any filing. DubaiVisaDesk.com is a private visa service, and GDRFA or ICP rules on applications.
No authority returns its fee after a refusal. Before payment you receive, in writing, the share of our total that would come back, if any.
