Peru visa waiver for Moroccan passport holders is now approved for ordinary passports, but with a catch: travelers must already hold a valid Schengen visa or U.S. visa. The decree was published on July 25, 2026, and takes effect September 23, 2026. Until then, Peru’s standard tourist-visa rules still apply.
What changed
Eligible Moroccan nationals traveling to Peru for tourism no longer need a tourist visa under the new rule. This is strictly a tourist-entry exemption, not an eVisa or an online pre-registration process. Travelers can stay up to 183 calendar days within a 1-year period, whether that’s one continuous trip or several separate entries.
Who qualifies
The exemption applies only to Moroccan nationals with ordinary passports. Both the passport and the Schengen or U.S. visa backing it up need at least 6 months of validity left at the time of entry. Anyone who doesn’t meet those two conditions falls outside the waiver and has to go through Peru’s standard visa process instead.
Why Peru made the change
Peru is framing this as reciprocity: Morocco dropped its own tourist visa requirement for Peruvian nationals back in 2017. The decree also points to broader goals, strengthening ties between the two countries and encouraging tourism, investment, trade, and cultural exchange.
What travelers should do
Check both documents, passport and Schengen or U.S. visa, before booking and again before departure. If either one expires within 6 months of your planned entry date, the waiver won’t apply to you. Travelers who don’t meet the requirements should just follow Peru’s standard tourist-visa process.
