Hi everyone,
I wanted to share my experience. I arrived early August, left last week of November, paid a fee and came back early December. Clearly they told me I already did 110 days and gave me 1 month more. I really don't know what to do, but I can't leave that's for sure. I don't mind paying the fee at all I just fear other consequences. Anyone in my case? Thank you all, have a beautiful sunday :-)

So, you are allowed to stay for 3 months within half a year, which you already did. In my opinion you can be happy that they let you enter and gave you another month.There is no tourist visa extension at the moment and even if the extension was possible, you already used your days. So, now your only option is to overstay your welcome; something I can't and won't recommend for numerous reasons.As things stand today (that might change any time) you don't have to fear any consequences, just pay the overstay fee when you finally leave. However, Migraciones is now able to see all your entry, exits and overstays and might give you trouble when trying to re-enter again before your 180-day period is completely over (honestly I don't know how they calculate this now, as you entered during your first one).Anyway if you plan to stay longer in Peru you should consider applying for a residency.Happy holidaysEva

- This commment is unpublished.@Sunflower Hi Eva, Hope you are well! I tried TAM virtual but once i reached step 2 'resumen' and click on 'finalizar' nothing happen - does it work ? also what are the prerequisites to apply for a residency - where can i find easily this info ? Thanks :-)
- This commment is unpublished.@JulHi Jul,As with so many other things in Peru, for some people checking the TAM on the Migraciones website works, for others on the Agencia Digital and for others nothing works. Check out our article "How" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.limaeasy.com/peru-guide/legal-stuff/how-many-days-did-i-get-when-entering-peru">How many days did I get when entering Peru?" and work through Option 1 to 4. Hopefully, one will work.Then the requirements for a residency depend on which resident visa you want to apply for. So, if you apply for a family visa you will need other documents than if you apply for a work, investment or retirement visa. So, you might want to check out our Visa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.limaeasy.com/peru-guide/peruvian-visa-types">Visa Guide where we described the 5 most common resident visas in Peru including exact requirements and how to apply.Be however aware that you can only apply for a resident visa - correctly change your immigration status (cambio de calidad migratoria) - when you are in Peru on a valid visa (for example a tourist visa / authorization to enter as tourist). Be aware as well that no matter which resident visa you apply for since mid last year, you always need a criminal background check from your country of origin.GreetingsEva
