Does transit in Lima airport requires checking out?
I am in a situation where I booked my flight from Europe to Peru and where I am stuck in the visa process because of a missing document that will apparently still take some time to be ready. I am starting to consider an alternative to Peru in case I don't get the visa in time. I am a Tunisian citizen living in Germany and the embassy here says it takes 6 weeks to issue a tourist visa (I fly in 4 weeks). Next to Peru, there are Brazil and Ecuador, countries for which I don't need visas.
If a book a ticket from Lima (where I land in Peru) to Quito for example, will I be able to board from Europe by showing them that I directly fly to Quito after landing in Peru? Is a direct transfer to Lima airport possible (like in the European airports).
The logic behind that is that I already booked the flight for Peru so if I don't get the visa in time, it would be a big waste of money. So investing a bit more in an additional ticket from Peru to Ecuador for example and visiting Ecuador instead would be a solution.
I am also applying for a Bolivian visa in the mean-time, because I plan to visit it as well. Would it be possible to fly to Bolivia from Lima directly and apply for the Peruvian visa there?

However, some airports have separate security checkpoints for each terminal, so if you land in one terminal and your next flight is in another, you would have to go through security again. On international layovers, even those where there is a transit area, you will most likely have to go through security.Do I need Covid test to leave Peru?
