Is IMEI registration for my phone required to use HotelESIM in Peru, as I've heard is the case for local SIMs?

Updated April 22, 2026

You can breathe easy with HotelESIM! A significant advantage of our service in Peru is that you are completely exempt from the local requirement for tourists to register their phone's IMEI with their passport. This regulation typically applies to local physical SIM cards. HotelESIM operates as a roaming-based service, which means your device is classified differently, bypassing this registration step entirely. This ensures a hassle-free setup, allowing you to connect quickly and focus on enjoying your Peruvian adventure, whether it's at your resort or exploring beyond.
