Peru Embassy Vienna

The embassy and its staff

Which Peruvian office is responsible for me?

The consular section in Vienna is responsible for Peruvian citizens in all of Austria. Two honorary consulates (Innsbruck and Salzburg) can help with information and some formalities, but passports are normally issued by the embassy.

The exact list of documents depends on your case; the embassy confirms it on request.

Documents checklist

Prepare these documents before your appointment. The lists are taken from official Peruvian sources:

Peruvian electronic passport (adults, abroad)

• Applications abroad are handled by the Peruvian consulates (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) – check your consulate’s passport page and book an appointment where required
• Your valid DNI in good condition
• Receipt for the consular fee – the equivalent of US$70 (charged in “soles consulares” in local currency)
• If a previous passport was lost or stolen: a sworn declaration
• Old mechanical passports can no longer be renewed – a new electronic passport is issued (valid 10 years for adults)
• In an emergency (lost or stolen passport) the consulate can issue an emergency passport for the return to Peru or to your country of residence
