Honorary Consulate of Sweden in Lima

Overview

Sweden runs Peru unlike any other country on these pages: there is no Swedish embassy in Lima, and none in a neighbouring capital covering it either — the ambassador to Peru sits in Stockholm, listed by Sweden's own foreign-service portal as a Stockholm-based mission. On the ground, Sweden's presence is this honorary consulate on Av. Mariscal La Mar in Miraflores, led by Honorary Consul Xavier de Romaña. The consulate keeps morning hours, Monday to Friday 09:00-12:00, and receives only with a pre-booked appointment. A second honorary consul, Boris Gómez Luna, serves in Cusco on the tourist circuit. It is a deliberately light footprint for a relationship that is anything but light — Swedish engineering and telecom firms have worked Peruvian projects for over a century, and the mining-equipment trade runs deep.

Visa Services

Sweden is a Schengen state — short-stay rules follow the Schengen framework and depend on your nationality; confirm your case on Sweden's official channels, which the consulate's pages route to. Migration and residence files are not decided at the honorary consulate; the official Swedish intake paths apply.

Consular Services

Swedes in Peru start here: guidance, certificates and first-line assistance in the weekday morning window, strictly by appointment (lima@consuladodesuecia.pe). Substantive files sit with Sweden's Stockholm-based mission for Peru, and Sweden's 24/7 consular emergency backstop at the foreign ministry answers at any hour.

Trade & Export Support

Mining equipment and engineering anchor the trade lane — Swedish industrial names are long-established suppliers to Peruvian mining — with telecom, sustainability technology and a steady flow of Swedish visitors on the Andes circuit rounding out the relationship.

Cultural & Educational Programs

The people-to-people traffic runs on travel and study: Cusco and the Sacred Valley hold a firm place on Swedish itineraries — enough that Sweden keeps its second honorary consul there — while Swedish universities draw Peruvian students north.

Service Area

This is Sweden's only staffed point of presence in Peru. The ambassador to Peru is Stockholm-based per Sweden's own mission list; in Cusco, Honorary Consul Boris Gómez Luna covers the tourist heartland. There is no Swedish embassy in Lima.

Appointment Information

Morning hours Monday to Friday 09:00-12:00 at Av. Mariscal La Mar 750, Office 601, Miraflores — visits only with a pre-booked appointment via lima@consuladodesuecia.pe or +51 914 164 168. Matters for the mission itself go to Stockholm: sbs.peru@gov.se.

Special Notes

Do not look for a Swedish embassy in Lima — there is none, and Peru is not covered from a neighbouring capital: the ambassador is Stockholm-based. For genuine emergencies, Sweden's round-the-clock consular emergency service in Stockholm (+46 8 405 10 00) stands behind the honorary consulate's morning window.

Frequently asked questions

Does Sweden have an embassy in Peru?

No — and uniquely, Peru is not covered from a neighbouring capital either: Sweden's own mission list carries 'Sveriges ambassad Peru' as Stockholm-based. In Peru, this honorary consulate in Miraflores (by appointment, Mon-Fri 09:00-12:00) is the in-country presence, with a second honorary consul in Cusco.

Do Peruvians need a visa for Sweden?

Sweden is a Schengen state, so short-stay rules follow the Schengen framework and depend on your nationality — confirm your case on Sweden's official channels. Migration and residence applications follow the official Swedish intake paths, not the honorary consulate.

Where do Swedes in Peru get help?

Start with this consulate's weekday morning window (09:00-12:00, appointment required, lima@consuladodesuecia.pe, +51 914 164 168), or the Cusco honorary consul on the tourist circuit. In genuine emergencies, Sweden's 24/7 consular emergency service in Stockholm (+46 8 405 10 00) answers at any hour.

Who decides Swedish consular files for Peru?

The Stockholm-based mission for Peru (sbs.peru@gov.se) — the honorary consulate in Lima is the local first line, not the deciding office. Book an appointment for anything requiring an in-person visit.

Visaja keeps this page's contact details and visa guidance under continuous review — still, requirements can change at short notice, so confirm the essentials with the mission or the official government portal before you travel.
