:: In-Transit Passengers
When deplaning, those passengers who are in
transit or who have connections to other international flights must
walk through the hall of international arrivals, go down to the first
level and, without entering the immigration control area, return to
the international terminal; otherwise, they will lose their in-transit/
connecting passenger status. We recommend that passengers contact
airline personnel when their flight arrives.

Peru must go to the Immigration area and present a completed country
