Can Expats and Travelers Use MigraCheck at Lima Airport?

If you live in Peru, you may have heard about MigraCheck, the immigration preregistration system that allows eligible passengers to use the automated immigration gates (e-gates) at Jorge Chávez International Airport.

Peruvian citizens and foreign residents with a valid Carné de Extranjería can use the system, provided they meet the age, passport and other requirements. Foreign tourists have also been permitted to use the automated gates when departing Peru under specific conditions, but this does not generally apply to their arrival in Lima.

For the latest eligibility requirements, visit the official MigraCheck website, as these rules are administered by Peru’s immigration authority.
