Overview
- The embassy issued an official notice that it suspended all administrative and public services on Friday, June 19, closing both the main chancery and the consular section for the day.
- Officials said the halt is temporary and that normal consular and administrative hours will restart on Monday, June 22.
- The mission did not give any detailed operational reason beyond the public notice, but its statement noted the date coincides with the U.S. Juneteenth federal holiday.
- Local political rallies called by Juntos por el Perú on June 19 prompted police to set up perimeter and traffic security around foreign missions in central Lima.
- The closure means people with scheduled visa interviews, passport renewals or citizen services must reschedule and monitor embassy channels for updates, and users should expect short delays and possible traffic disruptions near downtown Lima.
