How it works for Peru citizens

Present your Peru passport at the immigration desk on arrival in mainland China. The officer will stamp a 30-day visa-free entry. No application, no fee, no pre-travel paperwork — just a passport valid for at least 6 months.

Practical travel tips for Peru visitors

From Lima, the fastest routes to mainland China are direct flights via Beijing Capital (PEK), Shanghai Pudong (PVG), or Guangzhou Baiyun (CAN). Pay with PEN via Alipay or WeChat Pay after linking your Visa or Mastercard — see our Alipay for foreigners guide. If you also plan side trips, the high-speed rail connects 550+ cities.

Frequently asked questions

How long can Peru citizens stay in China visa-free?
Up to 30 days per entry. The 30-day visa-free stay cannot be extended inside mainland China — if you need more time, you must exit (to Hong Kong, Macau, or a third country) and re-enter.
Can I work in China on the Peru 30-day visa-free entry?
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, and family visits only. Paid work, employment, or journalism requires the appropriate work (Z) or journalist (J) visa obtained in advance.
Does Peru count as visa-free for the 240-hour transit scheme?
Yes. 30-day visa-free passport holders can also use the 240-hour transit scheme at 60+ designated ports when traveling onward to a third country.
Do Peru citizens need a visa for Hong Kong or Macau?
Most Western passport holders can visit Hong Kong visa-free for 90 days and Macau for 30 days, separate from mainland China rules. Hong Kong and Macau have their own immigration policies.
