Frequently asked questions

Do I need a visa to have surgery in Peru?

It depends on your nationality. Citizens of the US, Canada, the UK and the EU can usually enter Peru as tourists without a visa for short stays. Check the current requirements with the Peruvian consulate or gob.pe before booking flights.

How long do I need to stay in Lima?

It depends on the procedure and your recovery. Simple laparoscopic procedures often need one to two weeks; joint replacement or bariatric surgery need longer. The specialist states the recommended stay in your quote.

Can I pay in US dollars?

Your quote shows the price in Peruvian soles with a reference amount in US dollars. Payment methods and currency are confirmed in writing with the clinic before your surgery is scheduled.

Can I bring a companion?

Yes, and we recommend it. Some clinics offer private rooms with space for a companion; this is noted in your quote.

What if I have a complication after returning home?

You stay in touch with your surgeon for remote check-ups and receive a medical report for your local doctor. We recommend travel insurance that covers medical complications.

When can I fly after surgery?

Your surgeon decides based on the procedure and your recovery. Flying is usually avoided in the first days after abdominal surgery, and for longer after major surgery, because of the risk of blood clots.

How much can I save compared with the US?

Savings depend on the procedure and the clinic you choose. Compare our published prices in US dollars with the quotes you have at home; the full price table is on our prices page.
