Hi I need some help with the fees on my 4 year old American citizen child , we have been in peru for over a year (I have a Peruvian passport) he entered as an American .. I was wondering about the fees for the minors ??? Is it the same?

Usually, the fee per overstayed day is 0.1% of an UIT; so, for each overstayed day in 2022 you have to pay S/ 4.60. But minors are exonerated from paying the fine. So, you shouldn’t have to pay anything for your 4-year old.
The corresponding legislative text is somewhere hidden in the Foreigner Law. I can’t find it right now on my cell (I’m in the middle of moving and don’t have access to my computer at the moment). Sorry!
And in case you plan to stay longer periods of time in Peru in the future, I highly recommend getting your child a Peruvian birth certificate, DNI and passport, so you won’t have any problems anymore.
Greetings

When the over stay the 183 days they are treated like a Peruvian minor. I just left Peru in April 2022 and was turned back by immigration because of the minor child. Because of a new law put in place within the last 2 years. And then U.S. embassy was not help. If they child is traveling with both parents you are good, but if not here are things you are going to have to have before leaving. But you well not have to pay any fees for the minor.

yes, Peruvian and underage foreign residents need a special travel authorization if they travel alone, with only one parent or another adult. Our article "Travel" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.limaeasy.com/peru-guide/legal-stuff/travel-authorization-for-peruvian-minors-and-underage-foreign-residents">Travel authorization for Peruvian minors and underage foreign residents" explains the details.
So in April 2022, you wanted to leave Peru with a minor who only has the US nationality and they wanted a travel permit to let you leave? Never heard that this law, which is in place for many many years, is applied to foreign non-resident visitors as well. Do you have any more info about the "new law" you mentioned?
