Bangladesh passport holders: Single entry for Peru. Fee: USD 30–40 (~USD 30–40). Processing: 7-10 working days after the personal interview for Indian applicants; approximately 10 additional working days for non-Indian nationals (so roughly 3-4 weeks post-interview for Bangladeshi applicants), per the Peru Embassy New Delhi. Indicative only — always verify with the official mission before applying.
Overview
Visa required for Bangladeshi nationals. Apply at the Peruvian Embassy in New Delhi (which holds consular jurisdiction over Bangladesh; there is only an honorary consulate in Dhaka, no full embassy). CORRECTION: the Embassy's own published rule states the 'visa-exempt if holding a valid US/Canada/UK/Australia/Schengen visa (min. 6 months validity)' waiver applies specifically to 'nationals of the Republic of India' (in force since 27 Mar 2017) — it does NOT extend to Bangladeshi passport holders. NEW: effective 1 Feb 2025, Peru requires a separate Transit Visa for foreign nationals transiting Peruvian territory; Bangladeshi nationals (not being visa-exempt) are subject to this. No official minimum bank-balance figure is published — the consular officer must be satisfied of 'sufficient financial means' via bank statements/fixed deposits. A personal interview is a standard requirement for the tourist/business visa, not merely conditional.
Visa types: Tourist Visa (sticker via Embassy, personal interview required); Business Visa; Student Visa; Work Visa (Temporary Resident, via Peruvian Migratory Authority); Family Reunification; Resident; Investor; Transit Visa (NEW requirement since 1 Feb 2025, 6-month validity, max 2-day transit stay extendable to 15 days); Diplomatic/Official. CORRECTION: the 'visa-exempt with valid US/Canada/UK/Schengen/Australia visa' rule applies ONLY to Indian nationals (per Peru's Embassy in New Delhi) — Bangladeshi nationals are NOT covered and always require a visa.
