PERU Act of 2025
This bill establishes a reciprocity requirement for U.S. nonimmigrant visa status for Peruvian nationals. It specifies that Peru must offer similar nonimmigrant visa options to U.S. citizens before U.S. authorities can extend those same visa categories to Peruvians. The provision directly affects U.S. citizens seeking business or investment visas in Peru and Peruvian nationals applying for U.S. business/investment visas. It modifies existing immigration law by making U.S. visa eligibility for Peruvians contingent on Peru providing equivalent status to Americans. The bill does not create new benefits but sets a condition for existing visa categories.
