On the Ministry's official portal
- Gateway and cards: Card payments go through Izipay, a Peruvian payment gateway, and the payment screen shows Visa and Mastercard. Prices are in soles.
- A fee by card origin: The portal warns that its commission varies with where the card was issued, and you accept it when you confirm.
- 15 minutes to pay: Since September 2026 a ticket is assigned only once the payment is confirmed, and you have a maximum of 15 minutes to complete it. Unpaid selections go back on sale.
- Paying in person: The portal also lists payment at Banco de la Nación branches across Peru.
If your bank blocks the charge or the timer runs out, the tickets you selected are released. On busy dates they may be gone when you try again. Warn your bank before buying and have the passport details of every traveller ready.
With us
- In US dollars: Prices and the charge are in US dollars, so your bank does not convert from soles.
- Card or PayPal: Card payments also go through Izipay and accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Diners. PayPal is the other option.
- The fee is in the total: A processing fee is added and shown in the total before you pay: 5% by card, 7.25% with PayPal.
