Requirements, application steps and travel preparation.
Step 1
Check requirements and prepare your language skills

Physical file in Lima

Prepare a criminal-record certificate
The embassy requires a certificate; the Interior Ministry guide mentions a declaration. Prepare the certificate and confirm apostille and translation. Coordinate with Lima although the general guide mentions other missions.
Check insurance cover before buying
Coordinate the post-approval policy with Lima: hospitalisation, accidents, repatriation and the additional risks in its checklist. A generic tourist policy is insufficient.
