How the days count
- Arrive in Peru on 1 June — that's day 1 (entry and exit days both count).
- Your last legal day is 30 November (day 183).
- Each entry gets its own allowance, but repeated back-to-back entries ("border runs") can get you refused at the border.
Notes
Up to 183 days per entry — officer's discretion.
If you overstay
Overstaying — even by a day or two — can mean fines, detention, deportation and a ban on coming back, and it can follow you on future visa applications. Penalties vary by country and by case, so confirm the current rules with the official source below.
