- South Africans can get a tourist visa at the airport or any other Peruvian border without applying for it at an embassy or consulate, but this option is not available to Nigerians.
- According to Peruvian law foreign visitors must have a return or onward ticket /passage when entering the country.
- While this law isn't enforced by Peruvian immigration, airlines often demand to see a return or onward ticket when checking in for a flight to Peru. If you can't provide one, most airlines refuse boarding the plane. So in case you are planning to leave Peru for example by bus, check with the airline, if they accept a bus ticket or similar to avoid unpleasant surprises at the airport.
- In case you need to sign any important contracts (work contract, apartment purchase, sometimes even a marriage certificate...) you need a permission to sign contracts otherwise the papers are not legal. You can get this permit quite easily at the Immigration Office "Dirección General de Migraciones y Naturalizacion", Av. España 734 in Breña.
- For journalists traveling to Peru, a Peru press visa is required. Journalists must present a letter from the company stating the purpose of visit and the equipment that must be transported along with the visit.
