Mexico Requires Visa for Peruvian Nationals as Peru Resumes Visa Exemption for Mexican Nationals

On April 10, 2024, the Peruvian government issued a Supreme Decree resuming the tourist and business via exemption for Mexican nationals which had been suspended by a previous decree on April 7, 2024.  The revocation of the previous decree comes in response to protests from the tourism industry among others.

The initial suspension was a response to the Mexican government’s announcement that it would introduce a temporary requirement for Peruvian nationals to obtain an entry visa, effective April 20, 2024.  Exemptions are made for Peruvian nationals who are:

  • holders of a valid visa from Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States or any Schengen area country;
  • permanent residents of Canada, Chile, Colombia, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States or any Schengen area country.
