Panoramica
The Peruvian Embassy in New Delhi runs a structurally distinctive arrangement among Latin American posts in South Asia: in addition to the headline Vasant Vihar embassy covering a five-country jurisdiction (India + Bangladesh + Maldives + Nepal + Sri Lanka), Peru maintains Honorary Consulates in Mumbai and Kolkata. That distributed intra-India network is unmatched by Chile (single Delhi post), Colombia (single Delhi post), Mexico (single Delhi post) and matched in only a more limited way by Argentina (which runs a full Consulate General in Mumbai rather than honorary consulates). For Indian readers, that means Maharashtra residents have a Mumbai consular contact point and West Bengal residents have a Kolkata one, with substantive decisioning still flowing back to the Vasant Vihar embassy.
The headline post operates from D-2/5 Vasant Vihar in south-west Delhi on a morning-only schedule — Monday to Friday 09:00 to 13:00 — which catches first-time applicants who plan an afternoon visit. The four-hour public window is narrower than most Latin American embassies in the region; coordinate by email at enoria@embassyperuindia.in or by the +91 11 4616 3333 switchboard ahead of an in-person visit.
For Indian readers planning a trip to Peru, the visa pathway runs through this Embassy. Indian passport holders need a Peruvian visa for tourism, business, study and work — but Peru operates a US/CA/UK/Schengen/Japan visa simplification similar to the Mexican framework: Indian holders of a valid third-country visa may enter Peru for tourism without a separate Peruvian visa application. The Embassy in Vasant Vihar concentrates the residual visa intake for travellers without that qualification and for non-tourist categories.
Servizi Visto
Indian passport holders need a visa for Peru for tourism, business, study and work in the general case. Peru operates a consular simplification analogous to the Mexican framework: Indian travellers with a valid United States, Canadian, United Kingdom, Schengen or Australian visa, or permanent residency in any of those areas, may enter Peru for tourism without a separate Peruvian visa application under the simplification. The simplification applies to tourism only and does not extend to work, study or longer-stay routes. Indian travellers without that qualifying third-country visa apply directly to this Embassy. Categories handled by the Vasant Vihar consular section include tourist, business with invitation letters, student with admission proofs from Peruvian universities, work with employer documentation and Migraciones Peru approval, and transit. The intake model coordinates by email at enoria@embassyperuindia.in ahead of in-person appointment. Indian residents in Bangladesh, Maldives, Nepal or Sri Lanka apply through this Delhi post unless they qualify under the simplification.
Servizi Consolari
Peruvian citizens resident in India, Bangladesh, Maldives, Nepal or Sri Lanka are served for passport renewal and re-issue, lost-passport replacement, civil registration of births, marriages and deaths, voter registration for federal elections (Peru operates an external-vote system for citizens abroad), document apostille and legalisation under the Hague framework, and Same-Person and No-Objection certificates. The intra-India honorary consular network in Mumbai (Maharashtra) and Kolkata (eastern India) provides front-line consular access for the Peruvian community in those regions, with substantive case work returned to Delhi. The Embassy operates a Peruvian online consular portal at consulado.pe/es/nuevadelhi for citizens-abroad cases.
Supporto Commerciale ed Esportazione
India–Peru trade has expanded substantially since the bilateral framework revision in the mid-2010s, with crude petroleum, copper concentrates, gold, fishmeal, grapes and avocados moving from Peru to India and pharmaceuticals, motorcycles, polyester yarn, organic chemicals and engineering goods flowing the other way. Peru's Pacific Alliance membership opens additional trade architecture for the Indian flow. The Embassy's commercial section coordinates with PromPeru and with Indian counterpart chambers (CII, FICCI) for sector outreach across mining-services, agribusiness exports and IT services partnerships.
Opportunità di Investimento
Peruvian inbound investment promotion through this Embassy targets the sectors where Indian capital is most active: mining services and engineering for the copper, gold and zinc sectors in the Andean highlands, pharmaceuticals manufacturing and distribution in Lima and Arequipa, IT services partnerships, renewable energy projects in the coastal desert and the southern Altiplano, and the agro-industrial export pipeline of grapes, blueberries, avocados and quinoa for the Indian market. The Embassy coordinates with ProInversión Peru for federal-level introductions and with regional development agencies in Cusco, Arequipa and Lima for sector-specific outreach.
Supporto alle Imprese
The Embassy maintains operational contact with the Cámara de Comercio Peruano-India and with Indian counterpart chambers including CII and FICCI for trade-fair coordination, B2B matchmaking, sector delegations and the bilateral commercial calendar. The Pacific Alliance trade-architecture context complements the bilateral framework with broader Latin American positioning.
Programmi Culturali ed Educativi
Cultural and educational programming includes presentations of Andean music (huayno, chicha, Afro-Peruvian rhythms), ciclos de cine peruano at Indian film festivals, the literary heritage of Mario Vargas Llosa — Peruvian Nobel laureate widely read in Indian Spanish-language programmes — Spanish-language teaching cooperation with Indian universities, postgraduate scholarship programmes at Peruvian universities for Indian students under the bilateral exchange framework, and academic exchange agreements with ICCR.
Area di Servizio
Republic of India (primary host), People's Republic of Bangladesh, Republic of Maldives, Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal and Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka. Five-country footprint covering India and four concurrent accreditations — the same set as the Chilean and Mexican Embassies in Delhi. Additionally Peru runs Honorary Consulates in Mumbai (Maharashtra) and Kolkata (eastern India) as front-line nodes within the Indian territory, distinctively richer than the single-post structure of the other LATAM embassies in Delhi.
Informazioni sugli Appuntamenti
Visa applications coordinate by email at enoria@embassyperuindia.in for the category-specific document checklist before an in-person appointment at the Vasant Vihar embassy. Consular services for Peruvian citizens are walk-in during the 09:00–13:00 morning window Monday to Friday. The third-country-visa simplification for Indian tourism applicants applies to US/CA/UK/Schengen/Australia visa or PR holders. The Peruvian Honorary Consulates in Mumbai and Kolkata provide regional front-line access for Maharashtra and West Bengal residents respectively.
Note Speciali
Five-country South Asia footprint (India + Bangladesh + Maldives + Nepal + Sri Lanka) plus a distributed intra-India network with Honorary Consulates in Mumbai and Kolkata — Peru is the only Latin American mission in Delhi with that breadth of regional consular nodes (Argentina has a Consulate General in Mumbai but no Kolkata presence). Morning-only Embassy schedule 09:00–13:00 is narrower than most LATAM peers in the region. Indian travellers with a valid US/CA/UK/Schengen/Australia visa or PR qualify for the tourist-visa simplification.

Yes. The Peruvian Embassy in New Delhi has concurrent accreditation to the People's Republic of Bangladesh, the Republic of Maldives, the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal and the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka in addition to the host country India. Residents of any of these four countries — both visa applicants and Peruvian citizens needing consular services — route through this Delhi post.
Yes — Peru is the Latin American mission in Delhi with the most distributed intra-India network. There are Peruvian Honorary Consulates in Mumbai (covering Maharashtra and front-line consular services for the Peruvian community in western India) and in Kolkata (covering eastern India). Both honorary consulates handle front-line services with substantive case decisioning still routed through the Vasant Vihar Embassy. Most other LATAM embassies in Delhi (Chile, Colombia, Mexico) have no equivalent regional presence.
