Peru asked Mexico to waive a visa requirement imposed in 2024, during a diplomatic meeting on August 19, 2026. The two countries had not spoken to each other in over three years, after Peru stripped Mexico's ambassador of his diplomatic immunity in December 2022. Mexico had imposed the visa requirement in 2024 due to a rise in Peruvian nationals entering the country for non-touristic activities and inconsistencies in documentation.
The visa requirement has made life more difficult for Peruvians, who use Mexico as a major transit hub for travel to North America, a destination for Peruvian students and workers, and a source of business travel. The requirement remains in effect, and no decision date has been given as to when Mexico will waive it. The bilateral meeting on August 19, 2026, marked the first since the two countries resumed diplomatic relations.
