Entry Stamp
It is important that all travelers entering Peru especially those crossing at a land border obtain an entry stamp from Peruvian immigration authorities at the time and place of entry.
Travelers without an entry stamp will not be allowed to exit Peru. Immigration authorities often insist that travelers must return to the point of entry in order to obtain the stamp (e.g., a traveler who crossed into Peru by land from Bolivia will not be provided an entry stamp by immigration authorities in Lima, but will have to return to the original border-crossing point to obtain it).
Dual U.S. / Peruvian Citizens Under 18
Minor children with Peruvian citizenship including those with dual U.S./Peruvian citizenship ? who are traveling with only one or neither legal parent/guardian are required to have official authorization from the non-traveling parent/guardian(s).
In Peru, the non-traveling parent/guardian(s) can complete this process at most public notaries or through a travel authorization issued by a family court. In the United States, the non-traveling parent/guardian(s) should visit the nearest Peruvian Consulate and complete a Permiso Notarial de Viaje. Please be aware that these authorizations are valid for 30 days and one trip only. If the minor child has only one legal parent or guardian, the traveling parent/guardian must present evidence of sole custody, as well as a completed Permiso Notarial de Viaje from a Peruvian notary.

You will be issued a tourist card upon entry, which is valid for up to 90 days. Make sure to keep a copy of the tourist card because you will be required to present it again when leaving the country.
There is a $1 dollar fine if you overstay the 90 days. The fine can be paid when you leave Peru at the Immigration office at the International Jorge Chavez Airport.
