Spain visa for Peruvian citizens

Rules can change: confirm on the official site before you travel. imptbalearic.es is a hotel and travel site; it does not issue visas.

Peruvian citizens do not need a visa to enter Spain for short stays. This applies to trips to Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera. The stay must not exceed 90 days in any 180-day period. The rule covers the whole Schengen area. The site is a hotel and travel guide; it does not issue visas.

What the status means

Peruvian passport holders can travel to Spain, including the Balearic Islands, without a visa for tourism, family visits or business meetings. The stay is limited to 90 days in any 180-day period. The count includes all days spent in any Schengen country. The rule applies to the whole Schengen area, not only Spain.

No special conditions apply to Peruvian citizens under the current regulation. The visa exemption is based on Regulation (EU) 2018/1806. Check the official link for any updates before travelling.

Before you travel

Ensure your passport is valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area. It must have been issued within the previous ten years. Carry proof of your return or onward ticket and accommodation bookings. Border officers may ask for evidence of sufficient funds for the stay.

The EU is introducing two new systems: the Entry/Exit System (EES) and the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS). These are not yet in force. Check the official EU travel website before your trip for the current status and any new requirements.

Arriving on the islands

Ibiza Airport (IBZ) and Menorca Airport (MAH) are the main entry points for flights from mainland Spain or other Schengen countries. Formentera has no airport. To reach Formentera, fly to Ibiza and take a ferry from the port of Eivissa to La Savina. Mallorca is a transit point only; it is not covered by this site.

At the border, present your passport and any documents requested. The officer may stamp your passport. Keep the stamp as proof of entry. If you arrive via a Schengen country other than Spain, the entry stamp will be from that country. The 90-day count starts from the first day in the Schengen area.

Staying longer, working or studying

The visa-free stay is for short visits only. If you plan to stay longer than 90 days, work, study or reside in Spain, you need a national visa or a residence permit. Apply at the Spanish consulate in Peru before travelling. The rules differ from the short-stay exemption.

For information on long-stay visas, work permits or student visas, check the official site of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Spain or the Spanish consulate in Peru. This site does not handle visa applications or provide advice on long-stay requirements.
