Japan-Peru Relations

1. As of July 1, Japan will lift the measures recommending obtaining a visa in advance for the Peruvian nationals in possession of valid Peruvian ordinary ICAO compliant IC passports traveling for the purpose of “short-term stay” for a period not exceeding 90 consecutive days. This was announced by Prime Minister Ishiba to President Boluarte at the Japan-Peru Summit Meeting in November 2024, and President Boluarte responded to Prime Minister Ishiba that she greatly welcomed Japan's decision.
2. It is expected to further strengthen amicable relations with Peru, with which Japan has had diplomatic relations for more than 150 years, through the revitalization of people-to-people exchange between the two countries.

A visa exemption arrangement between Japan and Peru was concluded in 1972, and since then Peruvian nationals may enter Japan without obtaining a visa for a period not exceeding 90 consecutive days (short-term stay) under certain conditions. In 1995, the Government of Japan began recommending that Peruvian nationals obtain a visa in advance to enter Japan, in view of the circumstances of the time. From July 1, 2025, the Government of Japan will lift the measures recommending obtaining a visa in advance for the Peruvian nationals.
