Overview
The Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Lima is the Kingdom's diplomatic mission to Peru, with the ambassador also serving as non-resident envoy to Colombia — both handled from this office rather than a separate resident post. The embassy processes visa applications for Peruvian residents, provides consular services to Saudi nationals, and supports a developing trade relationship between the two countries.
Visa Services
Peruvian residents applying to visit Saudi Arabia for tourism, business, or family visits should note that most eligible nationalities can now obtain an eVisa online rather than applying in person at the embassy — this also extends to holders of a valid Schengen, UK or US visa and to permanent residents of the US, EU or UK, with a visa on arrival available to the same travellers. Umrah can be performed year-round on the tourism e-visa, with the Umrah permit applied for online; Hajj needs a separate permit and only takes place in the Hajj season. Purpose-specific or long-term visas that require embassy processing are handled through the consular section, with requirements typically including a valid passport, passport photo, and purpose-specific supporting documents. Colombian residents can also apply here: while residence, family-visit, and tourist visa categories are handled through the Saudi Consulate in Bogotá, traditional and work-visa categories for Colombian citizens are processed through this embassy in Lima.
Consular Services
The embassy provides passport and travel document services, civil registration, document attestation and legalization, and emergency consular assistance for Saudi nationals in Peru and Colombia.
Trade & Export Support
Peru and Saudi Arabia maintain a developing trade relationship built on Peruvian agricultural exports — including blueberries, avocados, and asparagus — and mining products finding growing demand in the Kingdom. The embassy's economic section supports bilateral trade promotion and business matchmaking between Peruvian and Saudi companies.
Service Area
Peru (resident), plus non-resident accreditation to Colombia.
Appointment Information
Consular appointments are booked through the embassy's official channels; visa applications for most nationalities are processed via the Saudi eVisa portal rather than in-person embassy visits.
Special Notes
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's National Day is September 23.
