I hope you're doing well.
I submitted my family visa application three weeks ago, and my 60-day tourist visa expires in a week. Since it's unlikely that I’ll receive any confirmation within this time, I’m unsure how to proceed.
From what I understand, I may have to overstay until my visa is approved and I receive the residency card. However, given that the confirmation process alone can take up to three months—plus another month to collect the card, assuming all documents are in order—this creates a challenge for me.
Unfortunately, this timeline conflicts with my job, and I may need to leave for a month to meet my work obligations. I understand that, under normal circumstances, I could request travel permission to visit my home country for a few weeks and return without affecting the visa process.
However, would this option still be available if I have already overstayed in Peru at that point? Have you encountered this situation before?
I’d really appreciate any guidance you can provide.
