Hi Eva. I got my Carnet issued on August 28,2023 through marriage (to a peruvian) and will be leaving to the US from april 2 to november 12. The carnet shows that it expires on August 28,2027. And from what i was reading on your page i understand that i have to sign some kind of declaration that i will be out of the country for more than 183 days? Could you please elaborate? I’m worried i’ll get stuck at the airport or worse lose my right to residency. Thanks again

The card is usually valid for 4 years and then must be renewed. In your case until August 28, 2027.The Vencimiento Residencia, however, is the date your residence visa expires. Unfortunately, it’s not printed on the card anymore and you have to check online. You can do this either by scanning the QR code on the back of your carné, by using this direct link or on the Agencia Digital in the left menu on the main page under Consultas en Linea, subpoint Carné de Extranjería.Usually the residence permit in only valid for 1 year or, in case of foreigners married to a Peruvian, for 2 years.So, you should check if your residence permit is really valid for two years as you must renew it within 30 days before the expiration and you must be in Peru to do that. If its valid for only one year, you already at that point have a problem.Then, you cannot leave Peru for more than 183 consecutive days otherwise you could lose your residence visa. So being outside Peru for 224 days is a problem. However, you can apply for a Permit to stay out of the country for longer than half a year (officially only in case of an emergency or force majeure). The permit is called Permiso de estadía fuera del país por mas de 183 días calendario.To apply for the permit you need this form, a letter explaining your situation/emergency/why you leave Peru for longer than the allowed half year and any document that somehow can support your request.You then must pay a fee of S/ 30.20 on pagalo.pe under the Migraciones code 07562 Formulario PA-Autoriz./Permisos y control migratorio, Concepto: Autorización de estadía fuera del país por mas de 183 días calendario.The application is done on the Agencia Digital. So, open the Agencia Digital and click on Entrar.
On the next page, select "Extranjero". Then choose in the drop-down menu Pasaporte and enter your passport number (or carné und carné number). Complete the other fields (birth date, nationality, last time you entered Peru and the Captcha) and click on Verificar.
Now you are on the main page of the Agencia Digital. At the top of the page, click on Mesa de Partes.Click on the little circle in front of Persona natural, enter your e-mail address, confirm your e-mail address and enter your cell phone number. Accept the terms and conditions and click on Siguiente.Then you should find different fields (sorry can't remember all of them)- Under Tipo de solicitud select Tramites Tupa
- Under Subtipo select Permiso especial para permanecer fuera del país más de 183 días sin pérdida de residencia
- Under Seleccione una dependencia choose a Migraciones office
- The Asunto de solicitud field is a subject lineAnd there should be fields where you can upload your documents and the Pago por derecho de tramite field, where you are asked to enter certain information of the bank receipt; numero de recibo (number of the receipt) which is the "secuencia de pago" on the pagalo receipt; codigo de verficación (verification code) which is the "codigo control" on the pagalo receipt; fecha de recibo (date) which is the "fecha de operación" on the pagalo receipt.When you filled in all fields and uploaded all documents, click on registrar.You then get a confirmation displayed on your screen that you successfully applied for the permit. Download and/or print the page and keep it safe. That’s it.Migraciones then has 30 business days to approve or deny your application. The resolution is usually sent to your e-mail address, which you entered on the first page of the Mesa de partes.GreetingsEva
