Student Visa from Nigeria to Peru
- People going to Peru to study will need a student visa.
- Students wanting to intern (without payment) at a Peruvian company also have to apply for a student visa.
- Note that the Peruvian educational institution or training facility has to be recognized by the Peruvian Ministry of Education or the National Assembly of University Rectors.
- In some cases "short-term" students and participants of study abroad programs don't have to apply for a student visa.
- You should contact the nearest Peruvian consulate to check if this exception applies to you.
- While Peruvian Consulates in the US still issue student visa for three-month stays (which can be extended once you entered Peru), Peruvian Diplomatic Missions in other countries don't issue Student Visa anymore.
- Students or interns have to enter Peru on a tourist visa and then change their immigration status at Peru's immigration office.
- Students need to present an enrollment certification issued by a recognized educational institution.
- Interns will present an official letter from the foreign university or higher education institution, legalized by the Peruvian Consulate (or stamped with an Apostille) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- Proof of sufficient financial resources to fund your studies or internship in Peru is also required.
