Immigration procedures will take place on both the first floor (Arrivals) and the third floor (Departures). This process is conducted in the restricted area, accessible only to passengers.

On the first floor, passengers will find the Arrivals Immigration Zone, which facilitates entry into the country. This is where international flights arrive, and the baggage claim area is also located, featuring six automated carousels.
The Departures Zone will have 21 physical immigration inspection stations and 9 e-gates. In the Arrivals Zone, there will be 33 immigration inspection stations and 10 e-gates. In general, we will have more inspection stations and operational e-gates managed by the Immigration Service.
Additionally, the Immigration Service provides passengers with access to pre-registration kiosks, allowing them to submit their information in advance and receive a QR code to expedite the immigration process.
No, this process can also be completed online through the Immigration Pre-Registration Platform. For more information, visit the official Immigration website: www.gob.pe/migraciones. On the right side of the screen, click “Haz tu pre-registro” (Complete Your Pre-Registration), and you’re all set!
