Peru rescinds new rule requiring Mexican nationals to obtain a visa prior to entry

On 11 April 2024, the Peruvian government passed Decree No. 012-2024-RE (“the Decree”) which states that Mexican nationals will not be required to obtain a visa prior to admission into the country. This follows the announcement on 8 April 2024 that Mexican nationals would require an entry visa to be admitted to Peru as of 23 April 2024. As a result of the Decree, Mexican nationals may continue to enter Peru using only their valid passports (without a visa) for business and tourism for up to 180 days per calendar year.
