Vietnam visa for peruvian citizens: ordinary passports need a visa, usually the 90-day e-visa from $47 (approx. PEN 161). Sol prices, Lima cut-offs.
Peruvian citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for Vietnam, so the Vietnam visa for Peruvian citizens is the e-visa, valid for up to 90 days and from $47 (approx. PEN 161) all-in through us for single entry. Peru appears on a Vietnamese exemption list, but only for diplomatic and official passports. This page covers the e-visa, prices in peruvian soles, urgent cut-offs in Lima time, the steps, documents, visa on arrival and the embassy. You can apply for your e-visa with us in about ten minutes.
Lima is twelve hours behind Vietnam, so the Vietnamese working day runs from 20:00 the evening before to 6:00 in your morning. Orders placed in your evening reach Vietnam as its day begins, and the table below shows why.

Do Peruvian citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Peruvian citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for any stay in Vietnam, and the e-visa is the usual route.
Peru's row on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs exemption list (published June 30, 2025, checked October 2026) is marked under Diplomatic and under Official/Service/Special, with a 90-day stay. The Ordinary column is empty, and Peru is absent from the later 45-day lists.
One lookup site says Peruvians can stay 90 days without a visa; that reads the diplomatic column as if it were for everyone. For the general rules, see Do I need a visa for Vietnam?

Vietnam visa for Peruvian citizens: urgent cut-offs in Lima time
Standard takes 5 to 7 working days. The urgent speeds use Vietnamese working days, which start at 8:00 in Vietnam, or 20:00 in Lima.
| Order cut-off | Lima time |
|---|---|
| Same day (Vietnam 14:15) | 2:15 |
| Super Urgent (Vietnam 15:30) | 3:30 |
| Emergency (Vietnam 17:30) | 5:30 |
| 1 working day (Vietnam 18:00) | 6:00 |
Example: you order on Monday at 21:00 in Lima, which is 9:00 on Tuesday in Vietnam. Emergency arrives by 22:30, Super Urgent by 23:30 and Same day by 6:00 on Tuesday, all in Lima time. Ordered on Tuesday at 4:00 instead (16:00 in Vietnam), Emergency still arrives by 5:30, but Super Urgent and Same day have passed their cut-offs: Super Urgent arrives at 23:00 and Same day on Wednesday at 2:00.
The weekend window starts at Friday 6:00 in Lima and ends on Sunday at 4:00. In that window, order the Weekend and public holidays speed before 3:20 and it arrives by 6:30 the same day. Our urgent e-visa page has every speed in Vietnam time.

Visa on arrival for Peruvian citizens
Peruvian citizens can use visa on arrival only when flying into Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang or Cam Ranh. You need an approval letter before you board and pay a $25 or $50 stamping fee at the airport.
It does not work for cruise ports or land borders. For most trips the e-visa is simpler; you can compare both when you choose a service.
Vietnam embassy in Peru
You do not need an embassy for an e-visa, which is issued online. If you need consular help, the Embassy of Vietnam in Brazil in Brasília also covers Peru, according to its own website.
Tips for Peruvian travelers
Two points help Peruvian travelers: the embassy that covers Peru, and ordering at the right hour.
The embassy that covers Peru is in Brasília
Vietnam's embassy in Brasília is responsible for Peru as well as Bolivia, Guyana and Suriname. Because the e-visa is issued online, most Peruvian travelers never need to contact it.
Order in the evening, not the morning
Ordered at 9:00 in the morning in Lima, your file reaches Vietnam after every urgent cut-off and starts at 8:00 the next Vietnamese morning, which is 20:00 that evening in Lima. Ordered at 20:00 instead, every speed is still open.
eVisaVietnam.com is a private visa service operated by TK VIET NAM., JSC, not the Vietnamese government. You can apply yourself at evisa.gov.vn for US$25. If you want your files checked and a delivery time backed by a full refund, apply for your e-visa with us.
