Peru Launches New e-SAMI Electronic Visa System
Peru officially launched the e-SAMI system to streamline electronic visa applications for foreign nationals requiring entry authorisation.
The Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs unveiled the digital platform on August 24, 2026, aiming to modernise consular services and enhance administrative security. This system primarily benefits individuals who already require a visa to enter Peru, not changing existing visa-free travel rules. While it digitises initial application steps, some consulates may still require in-person interviews or additional documentation. Applicants should consult their specific Peruvian mission abroad for precise requirements and procedures.
