Peru’s study abroad market blends legacy U.S. and Spain routes with recent Canada and Australia growth. Firms cluster in Miraflores and San Isidro, with serious operators in Arequipa serving engineering paths tied to mining.
Checklist for Lima families
- Request contract with RUC and breakdown in soles or USD.
- Ask who handles SUNEDU certificate translation and legalization.
- Confirm if fees include visa support or not.
- Request references from your same school or university.
Top destinations for Peruvians
Canada (colleges and master’s), Spain (graduate and language), Australia (VET and master’s), and Chile for proximity. Each student visa needs hard-currency proof of funds—plan USD purchases early.
Common mistakes
Late apostilles on local degrees, underestimating Schengen funds proof, or picking non-CRICOS programs in Australia. Verify accreditation before deposits.
