Hi, how do I extend my temporary permit visa? Currently valid for 1 year. Thank you

It depends on the type of temporary visa you have if and how it can be extended.
If you have a “real” tourist visa issued at a Peruvian consulate, which is a temporary visa, you cannot extend it in Peru or at a Peruvian consulate. You must then apply for a new one at a Peruvian consulate. Be as well aware that the tourist visa itself is valid for one year, but you are only allowed to stay in Peru for 180 accumulated days within this year.
If you have another temporary visa, such as, for example, a temporary student or a temporary work visa you can apply for an extension on the Agencia Digital while being in Peru. The process is called "prorroga de permanencia" and the requirements depend on the temporary visa you have.
Greetings

- This commment is unpublished.@KajsaThat's a completely different story. Didn't think of that when I replied.As far as I know the CPP can't be extended. But you can apply for a residence visa after having lived in Peru for 6 months on a CPP. The tramite is called Cambio de calidad migratoria especial residente.Seems easy to obtain and the application is done on the Agencia Digital (see this Migraciones video and attached information from Migraciones).All the bestGreetingsEva
