Peruvian Work Visa

A Guide to Peruvian Visas

Part 5

Foreigners who have a valid and legally signed work contract with a Peruvian company that was approved by the Peruvian Labor Ministry or who have a legally signed service contract with a Peruvian company can apply for a work visa in Peru.

Content overview

 

Work visa types

Peru’s main work visa types include:

Temporary work visa – Trabajador temporal

The temporary work visa in Peru is a multiple entry visa that allows you to work in Peru for up to 183 days within a 365-day period. It is mainly intended for foreigners who have a work contract with a Peruvian company with a duration of less than 12 months to work in Peru short-term (temporary) without the intention of a long-term residence in the country.  

Additionally, the temporary work visa is intended for foreigners who have a work contract with a probation period where it’s not clear if they will work and live long-term in Peru. If the probation period ends and/or the contract is extended and you get a work contract with a duration of at least 12 months, you then can apply for a resident work visa.

Resident work visa (dependent) - Trabajador residente dependiente

The resident work visa (dependent) is intended for foreigners who plan to live in Peru long-term and work as an employee for a Peruvian company. To apply for it, you need a valid work contract with a duration of 12 months or more without a probationary period.

The resident work visa (dependent) is valid for one year, allowing you to live and work in Peru for one year. After one year of living on a resident work visa in Peru, you can/must renew it. After three years of legal residency (so living and working in Peru on a resident work visa) you can apply for a permanent resident work visa, which is valid indefinitely as long as you don’t leave Peru for more than a year.

Resident work visa (independent) - Trabajador residente independiente

The resident work visa (independent) is intended for foreigners who plan to live in Peru long-term and work as an independent service provider for a Peruvian company. To apply for it, you need a valid service contract with a duration of 12 months or more without a probationary period.

The resident work visa (independent) is valid for one year, allowing you to live and work in Peru for one year. After one year of living on a resident work visa in Peru, you can/must renew it. After three years of legal residency (so living and working in Peru on a resident work visa) you can apply for a permanent resident work visa, which is valid indefinitely as long as you don’t leave Peru for more than a year.

While the actual application for the work visa is basically a simple and straightforward process, at least if you are familiar with Peruvian bureaucracy, it is only the last step. The tricky part, especially when you aren’t working for a big international company, is the necessary groundwork you have to do before being able to apply for the work visa.

 

Signing a work or service contract with a Peruvian company

After finding a Peruvian company that is willing to employ you and sponsor your work visa, or who is using your services offering a service contract, the most important step of the process is the work/service contract.

If you sign a work or service contract with a Peruvian company while still being abroad, make sure to have it legalized by the Peruvian consulate before setting out for Peru. If the contract isn’t in Spanish, it has to be translated by an official translator once you are in the country.

If you are already in Peru as a tourist, you need a so called "permiso para firmar contratos" (a special permission to sign contracts) before you can legally sign the contract. Since January 2018, this can be easily done online. Our article "Permit to sign contacts in Peru" explains how it's done.

Permit to sign contracts (Permiso especial para firmar contratos) in Peru

Legal Stuff
If foreign visitors, who are in Peru as a tourist, or temporary visa holders who haven't applied for a CTM, need to sign a legally binding document...

As soon as you have the permission, you can legally sign the work or service contract.

If you, however, entered Peru as a business traveler, you do not need the permit to sign contracts as it's "included" in your business status.

 

 Approval of work contract by the Peruvian Labor Ministry

Once the work (!) contract is correctly signed, it has to be approved by the Peruvian Labor Ministry. Exempted are contracts with citizens of Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador and Spain that only have to be sent to the ministry, but not approved by them.

Foreigners married to a Peruvian who already have a Peruvian family visa and foreigners with a "permanente residente" status are so called “exonerated workers”. Their work contract doesn’t require the approval of the Peruvian Ministry of Labor and some employment regulations, such as a Peruvian company is only allowed to have 20% of foreigners on their payroll and pay all foreign workers in the company not more than 30% of the total wages, don’t apply.

And last, but not least, service contracts do not need the approval of the Peruvian Ministry of Labor. 

Over the past years the procedure of having a work contract approved has been simplified and is now done online on the Registro Nacional de Contratos de Trabajo de Personal Extranjero website of the Peruvian Ministry of Labor on a platform called SIVICE.

The website is a bit confusing and only with lots of searching you find some more or less useful information. Nevertheless, scroll down to the very bottom, where you see a green button “Ir al Sistema”. Click on it and you are redirected to the “Sistema Virtual de Contratos de Extranjeros- SIVICE”. You can as well use this direct link to the SIVICE page. 

Here just click on enter and you can start the application for the approval of your work contract.

If before your application you want to check what you can expect during the application process, we recommend to watch this video published by the Peruvian Ministry of Labor explaining how the SIVICE system works. You could as well download the "Manual" (blue button next to or above the "Ir al Sistema" button).

Usually, the evaluation process of your application should only take 5 to 7 business days, so you should have the approval of your work contract within less than two weeks. However, longer waiting times have been reported.

Except for the exemptions mentioned above, you can only apply for a work visa, after the work contract is approved by the Labor Ministry.

 

Legal background for the work visa application in Peru

Where to apply for a work visa

Officially, you can apply for a work visa if you are still outside Peru or if you are already in the country, for example, as a tourist.

However, while for decades Peruvian consulates abroad handled temporary and residence visa applications from giving information and handing out the right forms to fill in, to accepting the application and, if approved, issuing the visa, since August 2021, the Peruvian diplomatic missions abroad only handle tourist and business visa applications and refer foreigners, who want to apply for a temporary or residence visa, to Migraciones in Peru.

So, foreigners, who can enter the country visa-free (so, who don’t have to apply for a “real” tourist visa at a Peruvian consulate), should come to Peru as a tourist and then change their immigration status - make a so called Cambio de calidad migratoria (as opposed to a Solicitud de calidad migratoria if you apply from outside Peru) - at Migraciones.

Those foreigners who cannot enter Peru visa-free (so, who must apply for a “real” tourist visa at a Peruvian consulate), officially must apply for residency from outside Peru; a complicated, lengthy, and sometimes frustrating process. We explain in detail how it’s done in our article “Peruvian residence visa application from abroad”.

Important laws and regulations

For all foreigners planning to stay longer in Peru and to apply for a temporary or resident visa, the most important laws and regulations are the Decreto Legislativo 1582, which is the current foreigner law and only stipulates general rules, and the Decreto Supremo 002-2021-IN from 2021 and the TUPA. Helpful as well is to check out the Peruvian government website. All these documents are, of course, in Spanish.

While below, under "Requirements for a work visa application in Peru" you find the necessary documents described in English, the official list of requirements (in Spanish) can be found here:

Temporary work visa

In the Decreto Supremo 002-2021-IN on page 33, in article 75-C “Procedimiento administrativo de cambio de calidad migratoria trabajador temporal”. As the TUPA is always the more current official document, which contains slight changes compared to the Decreto Supremo, we recommend to use it when looking for the most current official information about the requirements in Spanish. You find the information for temporary workers on page 119, which is page 122 of the PDF.

Resident work visa (dependent and independent)

In the Supreme Decree DS N° 002-2021-IN on page 42, in article 88-B “Procedimiento administrativo de cambio de calidad migratoria trabajador residente”. As the TUPA is always the more current official document, which contains slight changes compared to the Decreto Supremo, we recommend to use it when looking for the most current official information about the requirements in Spanish. You find the information for resident workers on page 168, which is page 171 of the PDF.

(**) That's the official requirement. However, Migraciones always requests the criminal record check from your home country. And, if they are made aware of the fact that you lived in another country during the 5 years prior to coming to Peru, sometimes additionally a check from this country.

(***) All foreign documents need an Apostille or, if the country in which they were issued, didn't sign the Apostille Convention have to be legalized by a Peruvian consulate abroad. Once in Peru, the document has to be translated into Spanish and in some cases legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

(****) Even though no longer on the official requirement list, the RUC number has to be entered when you apply

 

Last steps before the actual work visa application

Translation of foreign documents

If you apply for a resident work visa, you hopefully brought the criminal record check with Apostille/legalization from your home country that now needs to be translated into Spanish. Even though officially no longer required and a simple translation should be enough (see Decreto Legislativo 1272 about simplified administration procedures) we highly recommend to use a certified translator in Peru, a so-called traductor publico juramentado. You find lists of these government-approved translators on the Peruvian government website. Just click under point 3 on the language of your original document and the list of translators for your language appears.

If your documents have an Apostille and were translated by one of the certified translators on the list according to the above mentioned Decreto Legislativo Migraciones should accept them without problems. However, most translators are still recommending an additional legalization of the translation by the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (RREE), as sometimes Migraciones doesn't apply the simplified administration procedures, rejects documents without the additional RREE legalization and explicitly asks the applicant to upload the apostilled and translated foreign documents this time with another legalization from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (RREE) in Lima or a RREE branch in the provinces.

So, if you want to skip the additional legalization by RREE, we highly recommend to keep an eye on your Migraciones electronic mailbox for notifications from Migraciones (see below).

If your documents aren't apostilled but legalized they must be legalized again after the translation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (RREE) in Lima or a RREE branch in the provinces.

Interpol

And before you can finally apply for your temporary or resident work visa, you have to get the so-called “Ficha de Canje Internacional” from Interpol in Peru. Find a detailed description of how it’s done in our article “Interpol - Ficha de Canje Internacional”.

Paying the application fee

Then pay the fee of S/ 118 (temporary work visa) / S/ 162.50 (resident work visa) for the Migraciones administrative procedure “Cambio de Calidad Migratoria” under code 07568 with "concepto": "Trabajador temporal" or "Trabajador residente" on pagalo.pe, at any Banco de la Nacion branch or at some Banco de la Nacion ATMs. As you already paid the Interpol fee, you know how the systems works, otherwise check again in our article "Paying administration charges and processing fees in Peru".

Last preparations

If you apply for a temporary work visa, you have to fill in and sign the Sworn statement that you don't have a criminal record in Peru and abroad.

And last but not least, make PDFs from your passport (page with your personal data), and from all other required documents (max size per document 3MB).

Once the groundwork is done and you have all documents together, the actual application for a work visa (or correctly the change of your immigration status from, for example, tourist to work) is simple and straightforward. Even though after Peruvian law the company employing you has to support you and usually the company’s lawyers will help with or handle all the red tape involved, it might be good to know the application process.

Finally, the time has come to apply for your work visa. Be aware that in case you need to leave the country during the processing time of your work visa application you must apply for a special travel permit (Permiso especial de viaje, officially as well called Autorización de estadía fuera del país) before you leave the country, otherwise your application is null and void.

Step-by-step guide to apply for a work visa in Peru

One remark before we start: The Agencia Digital is in Spanish only. We highly recommend to not using a translation program which automatically translates the page from Spanish to your preferred language to avoid system errors. And to avoid further system errors, we highly recommend to not using a VPN and switching off any ad blockers you might use.

Migraciones Agencia Digital

Once you have done all the preparation work, open the Migraciones Agencia Digital and click on Entrar.

On the next page, select "Extranjero". Then choose in the drop-down menu the document with which you entered Peru (most probably passport), enter your passport number, your birthdate, nationality, the date you entered Peru and the captcha. Click on Verificar.

No matter which forms you fill out in Peru, always enter your personal data exactly (!!!) as in your passport!

Now you are on the main page of the Agencia Digital. Here you can either use the search field or find in the menu on the left under “Cambio de calidad migratoria” the points Trabajador Temporal and Trabajador Residente. Choose the one that applies and proceed to the next page.

1st page of the work visa application

Here, you first have to select the Migraciones branch which should handle your application (for example, Lima, Cusco, Arequipa, …). In the second field, you must enter a “data update code” which you most probably don’t have. Below this field is a quite small link.

Click on it and you are re-directed to the Sistema de Actualizacion de Datos page. Choose Option 2. On the next page fill in your nationality, select the document with which you entered Peru (most probably passport), enter your passport number, and your birth date, select your gender and enter the captcha; you can leave the field with the "preinscription code" blank. Then you get to a quite extensive questionnaire.

Data update questionnaire

Be aware that you only have 1 hour to complete the questionnaire and as the system doesn’t save your information, even though there is an option to save, once you started you must finish it within an hour otherwise all your progress is gone, and you have to start from scratch. The questions are quite unorganized and partly a bit strange, so to give you an idea what questions you have to answer and might need to prepare for here an overview:

In the first two categories, you have to fill in your personal data including full name (as in your passport!), document with which you entered Peru, document number, gender, marital status, country of birth, if you have a criminal, police or judicial record, if you are pregnant.

The third category asks for your address in Peru, your e-mail address, cell phone number and landline phone number. Here you must upload a “recibo”, so a water or electricity bill to prove that you live at that address. The recibo doesn't have to be in your name, just must show the correct address.

Then you are asked for the information of an emergency contact, including ID, name and e-mail of your emergency contact. This is followed by questions about your employment situation and where you were born (continent, country, town).

In the next category, you have to enter your hair and eye color, height in meters, weight in kilograms, religion, marital status, date of marriage, vaccinations and if you have a disability or disease. You are then asked if you arrived in Peru alone or if someone was accompanying you. If so, you must enter the personal data (passport number, name, last name, birthdate) of that person. Now you are asked if you have lived in other countries previously and in which country before coming to Peru, when you last entered Peru, how you came to Peru (plane, bus, car).

The last questions check your living conditions (are you living in a house, number of rooms, accommodation connected to water, sewage, electricity, and internet), ask for some financial info (if you have a bank account in Peru; if you have taken out a loan in Peru; if you have a bank account in another country; if you hold shares in a company in Peru) and want to know if you have a car and a driver’s license in Peru or other country.

As soon as you have completed the last page of the questionnaire, the system accepts all your answers and sends the data update code to your e-mail.

You made it!

Back to the 1st page of the work visa application

Now fill in the data update code and click on Siguente.

2nd page of the work visa application

Here you must fill in some data and/or upload all for the work visa application necessary documents as PDF (max. size per document 3MB).

Those who just want to verify the requirements or double check if the requirements have changed can do so on this page. Then just click through the tabs but do not upload any documents and do not click on Siguente; once you finished just leave the page.

To continue with your work visa application, click on the little arrows next to each requirement, and certain fields appear depending on the requirement. Just fill in the fields as requested and upload the corresponding document.

Under “Pago por derecho de tramite” 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.

If you don't know where to find the requested bank information on your receipt, click on the question mark. After entering the requested info click on Validar.

Under the Documento de Identificación tab, select the document with which you entered Peru (in most cases passport), fill in required data and upload a copy.

Under the Interpol tab, you must upload the Ficha de Canje from Interpol and, if you apply for a resident work visa, the criminal record check you brought from home, or, if you apply for a temporary work visa, the sworn statement. Be aware that both fields are mandatory, and you can’t continue without having uploaded both documents.

Under the Contrato tab, you must upload your work or service contract.

Under the Documento especificos tab you must upload the sworn statement of the legal representative of the company and under the Ficha RUC tab you must enter the RUC number of the company employing you.

There is one last tab “Exceso de permanencia” (excess stay). If you apply when your stay in Peru is still valid, this tab has already a green check in front of it and you just leave it as it is.

If you, however, apply when your stay as a tourist is expired, open the tab and you should be able to upload the payment receipt for your overstayed days and a sworn statement explaining the reasons for their overstay. Once these two documents are uploaded the check in front of the tab should turn green. Before counting on this option please read our chapter Can I apply for a work visa when my stay as a tourist is expired?.

Once you filled in all required fields and uploaded all your documents, there should be a green check in front of each tab. Click on Siguente.

3rd page of the work visa application

You then get to a page showing the fields of the Form PA - Cambio de Calidad Migratoria already filled in with your personal data. The only fields you can change here are your cell phone number and your e-mail address. If everything is correct, click on “Guardar datos y generar tramite” (Save data and generate procedure).

4th page of the work visa application

You now get the "Registro de Solicitud de Cambio de Calidad Migratoria" displayed on your screen. That's the confirmation of your successful application. Download and/or print the form and keep it safe (if downloading isn't possible, make a screenshot of the complete page, don't miss the second page)!!!

At the top right of the document under the bar code you find your Numero de expediente (file number) which sometimes is also called Numero de tramite. It consists of 2 letters (usually some abbreviation of the Migraciones office where you applied; LM for Lima, for example; or CY for Chiclayo, etc.) and 9 numbers. At the bottom of the first page, under the signature / fingerprint field, the Fecha de publicacion (application date) and a Codigo de verificacion (verification code) are shown.

If you later want to check the status of your application online, which can be done here or if you, for example, want to apply for a travel permit to leave the country while the approval of your application is still in process, you will need these numbers / codes.

Additionally, at the bottom of the first page you as well find your login data for the Migraciones electronic mailbox (see below).

If you didn't print or save the page when you had the chance during your application, retrieving your file number is usually simple as it's the code you see on your screen when you are asked to make an appointment for your biometric data (see below). But getting the verification code can be a mission as you must get in contact with Migraciones.

Please note: a few of our readers commented that they couldn’t find the verification code and/or the login data for the electronic mailbox on the Registro de Solicitud de Cambio de Calidad Migratoria. However, once they made the appointment for the biometric data they were able to download the Formulario PA - Cambio de calidad migratoria, which contained the verification code and the login data. So, if the Reigistro page wasn't displayed or if you can’t find the information on the Registro page, probably check as well the Formulario, which you hopefully downloaded as well, before trying to get in contact with Migraciones.

 

Biometric data appointment

Following the confirmation of your visa application you are asked to make an appointment for having your biometric data (photo, fingerprints, signature) taken with a provided code. This code is your numero de expediente (file number).

As waiting times sometimes can be long, especially in Lima, we suggest following provided link and make the appointment immediately. If you want to make it at a later time, you can enter the Agencia Digital and make an appointment under "Citas en Linea", subpoint "para registro de datos biometricos".

On the day of your biometric data appointment, be at the Migraciones office you selected when making the appointment 15 - 30 minutes before your appointment with your documents. Usually you will only need your printed (!) appointment and passport, but to be prepared for any unforeseen events you may want to take the folder with all other documents with you.

At the door you just have to show your appointment and passport. At the Lima Migraciones office you get a ticket with a number on it. Then just join the line and wait until your number is shown on the screen. When it's your turn proceed to the counter where you have to sign on a signature pad, you are digitally fingerprinted and a biometric photo is taken.

Do not wear a white shirt or a top in light or pastel color! Migraciones might refuse to take your photo. Best wear a simple black shirt or something in a dark or strong color.

There were times when the process at the Migraciones office in Lima was quick and astonishingly well organized and you were done in less than half an hour. However, over the past few months some foreigners reported that their appointment time wasn't respected and they had to wait for anything between one and three hours until they made it to the counter where the process was quick and smooth. So, plan accordingly. At the Migraciones offices in the provinces, the whole process is usually quick and painless.

After your biometric data appointment, all you can do is check your Buzon electronico regularly and wait until you get a notification from Migraciones either telling you that they aren't happy with a document you uploaded or that a document is missing or that your visa is approved.

 

Buzon Electronico

The Buzon Electronico is your personal Migraciones electronic mailbox which you should check regularly for notifications from Migraciones (for example, request to upload missing or additional documents, approval or denial of your visa application, etc.).

You can access your buzon by clicking on the "Buzon" button on the top of the main page of the Agencia Digital or by using this direct link. The username (usario) and password (contraseña) is on the "Registro de Solicitud de Cambio de Calidad Migratoria", the confirmation of your successful application (see above under 4th page).

Be aware that notifications sent via the buzon are considered "officially delivered". If you don't react to a deadline Migraciones usually gives in these notifications (in most cases only 5 days), your application can be dismissed. So, if you get a notication from Migraciones informing you that you haven’t uploaded a required document, that an uploaded document isn’t to their liking or they want an additional document, don’t waste any time.

If you have the document, make a PDF of it (max size 3MB) and upload it on the Agencia Digital. How this so-called Subsanación is done, is explained in our article “Subsanacion - Submitting documents”.

The process is called “Solicitud de ampliación de plazos” and explained in our article "Extension of a Migraciones deadline".

Approval of your work visa

Officially the processing time of temporary and residence visa applications is 30 business days. However, according to feedback we got from our readers, it usually takes around two to three months until you get a notification from Migraciones in your Buzon with the official resolution that your visa was approved.

Nevertheless, check your Buzon regularly as you might belong to the lucky ones that get their approval within three or four weeks after application. On the other hand, in case you haven't heard anything from Migraciones 4 months after your application, you should check with them what's going on.

 

Getting your Carné (foreigner ID)

Temporay Workers

Temporary Workers are not issued a carné. After receiving the approval of your temporary work visa, that’s it, you are legally in Peru for the approved time and can work.

Congratulations! You made it!

Resident Workers

After 2 or 3 months (sometimes, if you are lucky, already after a few weeks, or if Migraciones is busy, after only 4 months or so) you get a notification in your Buzon electronico informing you about the approval of your visa.

Usually, this first notification states to wait for further instructions on how to pick up your carné. So, once again check your Buzon regularly and wait for a second notification from Migraciones informing you about the "expedición de carné".

Officially Migraciones has another 30 business days counted from the approval of the visa to send this notification. However, some of our readers shared that they had to wait only a couple of days, others three or four weeks, and a few even 2 months. Either way as soon as you got the official notification that your carné is ready, get going. 

Enter the Agencia Digital. On the main page in the left menu under "Citas en linea", subpoint "para recojo de documentos" you can make the appointment to pick up your carné. Once again, download and print the confirmation and keep it safe.

Be aware that at some Migraciones offices in the provinces no appointment is needed.

On the day of your appointment, be at the Migraciones office you selected 15-30 minutes before your appointment. To pick up your carné you just need your passport and your printed appointment. Migraciones personal will point you in the right direction where you are handed your carné.

Congratulations! You made it!

To familiarize yourself with your carné we highly recommend to read our glossary article Carné de Extranjería - Peru’s ID Card for foreigners.

 

Things you should know living in Peru on a work visa

Officially you are only allowed to start working when your work visa is approved.

Temporary work visas allow you to work in Peru for up to 183 days within a 365-day period. They can be extended.

A resident work visa (so the residence permit) is valid for one year and then has to be renewed. Our article "Residence visa extension" explains how it's done.

Once you have your residence permit and carné as a resident worker, you must get a Peruvian tax number (RUC) and password (Clave SOL) which is issued by Sunat, Peru's tax authority.

If any information you provided when applying for your work visa changes, Migraciones must be informed about it within 30 days. So, if you change jobs, get a new passport, move to a new address, etc. you have to apply for a so-called "Actualización de datos". Be aware that for resident workers, in some cases, a new carné has to be issued after the application is approved. The process is explained in our article “Update your information in the Migraciones database”.

Whenever you, as a resident worker, want to leave the country for short or extended periods of time, for example, to go on holidays or for a business trip abroad, you must present the so-called "Certificado de Rentas y Retenciones" at immigrations before you are allowed to leave. This form is issued by your employer or, if you work independently, by your client(s), who confirms that the income tax corresponding to your earnings was retained according to the Peruvian tax legislation. The physical form, Formulario 1492, is rarely used anymore. Instead, your employer or client has to enter his/her Sunat Virtual and fill in the Formulario Virtual 1692°, then print and sign it and give it to you. The form expires 30 days after it was filed with Sunat; so, you must leave Peru within these 30 days. If you, as a dependent or independent resident worker didn't have any earnings, you must present the so-called “Declaración jurada de haber realizado actividades que no impliquen la generación de rentas de fuente peruana” at immigrations before you are allowed to leave. So, just download Formulario 1495, fill it in, sign it and show it to the immigration officer when leaving Peru.

Foreigners living in Peru on a resident work visa have to be in the country at least 183 days per year, otherwise they lose their resident status. In case you have to be outside Peru for longer, before leaving the country, apply for the Autorización de estadía fuera del país por 183 días, and won't lose your residency.

Resident work visa holders can get the Peruvian nationality by naturalization after having legally lived in Peru for at least two years.

If you don't want to get the Peruvian nationality or can't because your home country doesn't allow dual nationality, after three years of legal residency in Peru on a resident work visa, you can apply for a permanent resident visa - make a so-called Cambio de calidad migratoria a permanente residente (trabajador) - if you can fulfill the financial and other requirements; no more extensions and an indefinite residency.

And finally, if you, as a resident worker, are leaving Peru permanently, you have to cancel your residence visa. Once the application is approved, you have 15 days to exit the country.

 

Other FAQs

Can I apply for a work visa if my stay as a tourist is expired?

For years, you had to be in Peru on a valid visa / stay, for example, as a tourist to apply for any temporary or residence visa, precisely to make the Cambio de calidad migratoria.

But during the visa application on the Migraciones online platform there is a tab labeled "Exceso de permanencia" (excess stay), which suggests that foreigners who overstayed their time as a tourist in Peru can still apply for a Cambio de calidad migratoria and just have to upload a payment receipt for their overstayed days and a sworn statement explaining the reason for their overstay.

While in November 2022 Migraciones informed us in writing that this tab does not apply when you change your immigration status from tourist (!) to work, at the beginning of 2023 one of our readers reported that someone at Migraciones suggested this option. So, he could apply for his visa while being in Peru on an expired stay as a tourist. During his application he uploaded the payment receipt for his overstay fine and a brief explanation why he couldn't apply on time (criminal record check took many months), could finish his application and a couple of months later, Migraciones approved his visa.

Hearing this, we tried to find out more. A few other foreigners in the same situation confirmed that someone at Migraciones they spoke to suggested this option, but our search for any official confirmation in writing that you can apply for a temporary or residence visa while being in Peru on an expired stay as a tourist was in vain.

As Migraciones doesn't have an e-mail address anymore where they answer such questions in writing, we called and first were told "No, you have to be in the country on a valid stay". Then when we asked the lady we were talking to more detailed questions, she seemingly quickly spoke to someone else, and then suddenly said "Yes, it is possible.", but she couldn't give us any further details. The whole call didn't really inspire confidence.

So, at the moment (February 2024) officially you still have to be in the country on a valid stay to apply and therefore we can't guarantee that it's possible to change your immigration status from tourist to work if you are in Peru on an expired stay as a tourist.

We always recommend to not overstay and, in case you plan to apply for a temporary or residence visa but don't have all required documents yet, instead of overstaying suggest applying for your visa using a little trick. We explain how it's done below.

If for whatever reason you can't apply while your stay as a tourist is valid, it might be worth personally checking with Migraciones if you can apply despite being in the country on an expired stay before you leave the country and try to return to "renew" your stay as a tourist.

If you have any current information about this topic or would like to share your experience, please let us know either using the comment function at the end of this very long article or our contact form. Thank you!

Can I apply for a work visa if I don't have all the required documents?

Officially, no, you can't as on the Agencia Digital, the Migraciones online platform where you have to apply, the fields to upload the required documents are mandatory and you can't continue with and finish your application without having uploaded all documents.

But, even though we can't and won't recommend it, if your stay as a tourist is about to expire and you must apply until a certain date, depending on the document that you don't have yet, there might be a possibility to "cheat" the system. However, you should have a solid plan to get the document as required, because the time to present it is limited. And here, how it's done.

Follow the instructions of our Step-by-step guide to apply for a work visa in Peru until you are on the 2nd page of the work visa application. Here you must fill in some data and/or upload all for the work visa application necessary documents as PDF.

If you don't have, for example, your criminal record check: Under the Interpol tab, you must upload the Ficha de Canje from Interpol and the "Antecedentes" (criminal record check). Both fields are mandatory, and you cannot continue with and finish the application without having uploaded both documents. As you can't leave the field for the Antecedentes blank anymore, you must upload something in the Antecedentes field. One of our readers just uploaded the Ficha de Canje a second time, another reader wrote a letter explaining that he is waiting for his criminal record check from his home country and uploaded this letter instead of his background check. So, upload a "document" there that makes sense.

The same applies if, for example, you don't have your Ficha de Canje from Interpol, because you couldn't get an appointment in time. Instead of the Ficha upload, for example, a letter explaining your situation.

Or if you have the document, but not yet the Apostille or translation, you could upload the document as it is.

Then continue to upload all other required documents and finish the application process as described in our Step-by-step guide.

On the 4th page of your work visa application you get the "Registro de Solicitud de Cambio de Calidad Migratoria" with the "numero de expediente" (your file number), the "fecha de publicacion" (application date) and a "codigo de verificacion" (verification code) displayed on your screen. That's the confirmation of your successful application. You made it. As soon you have this confirmation, your time as a tourist stops and even if your stay as a tourist expires during the processing time of your visa application you won't have any problem.

Now, depending how quickly Migraciones reviews your application and documents, the following happens:

As you haven't uploaded all required documents or not in the form Migraciones requires, Migraciones will send you a notification (can be as quick as a few days after your application or a month, two or three later) requesting that you upload the document. Be aware that these notifications are considered officially delivered. Usually, Migraciones only gives you a short deadline of 5 to 10 days to upload the requested document. You must react to the notification, even if it's on the last day of the deadline they gave you (which might be wise to do if you still need more time), otherwise your application could be canceled.

If you have the document in the correct form when you receive the notification, just upload it. How it's done is explained in our article “Subsanacion - Submitting documents”.

If you still don't have the document at the end of the deadline Migraciones gave you, then you can apply for an extension of the deadline (max. 30 days). The process is called Ampliacion de plazos and explained in our article “Extensions of a Migraciones deadline”.

In case you have the document ready before you hear from Migraciones you can upload it immediately on the Agencia Digital under Subsanacion. But we were told by others, who went through the process that they still got a notification later to upload the document again.

If you decide to go that route, check your Buzon regularly and, if necessary, react to any notification! And, while this "cheating" worked for many others, things might change and Migraciones could dismiss your application (which you could appeal). Anyway, be aware that it will definitely delay the approval of your visa by weeks or even months.

    Hi again, Eva. 
    I have applied for my resident visa in November. And the status of it is still "pending". I am aware that the timelines can be pretty long here in Peru, but this seems like a bit too long) So I have a question. If / when my visa is finally approved, will it be for the year ahead since the approval date? Or since the date of my application (which was in November)? And what is the longest you might wait for the approval??

      Hello Sasha,

      As times for the approval of residence visas vary heavily without any obvious reasons, I can't tell how much longer it will take until Migraciones finally approves (or denies) your visa. Usually, it takes anything between two to four months. Anyway I know from three people who applied in November and are still waiting to hear back from Migraciones; I know two cases who applied in December and got the approval in record time (the one after 5, the other after 7 weeks); someone wrote me a couple of weeks ago who's waiting since August of last year and just a few days ago another person who didn't get an approval nor denial in 9 months.

      You checked your buzon regularly? If so, and if you see that your tramite is still pending there isn't anything to worry about. Probably wait another two or three weeks and in case you haven't heard anything from Migraciones you might want to check with them what's going on.

      There are different dates on your carné:

      Fecha de Inscripción: is usually around the date the application for a residence visa was approved (so, around the date the resolution of the approval of your application is issued) and you are registered in the Peruvian foreigner registry. From this day on the one year residency usually starts.

      Fecha de Emissión: is the date the card is issued

      Caducidad CE: is the date your Carné, so the card itself, expires (not your residence visa!). The card is usually valid 4 years.

      Vencimiento Residencia: is the date your residence visa expires. Most often it’s not printed on the card anymore and you have to check online. Depending on the type of visa you have, the residency has to be renewed every 1 or 2 years even though the card itself is still valid. If you don’t renew your residency on time, expect to pay a hefty fine next to jeopardizing your residency.

      @Sunflower Wow! 9 months! thanks a lot, Eva. I do check my Buzon, but someone just told me that it is better to check this website https://sel.migraciones.gob.pe/servmig-inmtra/VerEstadoTramiteIMRev since sometimes they don't send anything on Buzon.
      Then another questions!
      1. how do I check back with Migraciones? any form at the Agency portal?
      2. If someone is denied the visa what shall they do? how soon they should leave Peru or re - submit? since the tourist visa is no longer valid it is kind of tricky ... 

      And me too I know some guys who had approval very fast but they were submitting with the help of companies who provide such service ... 
      Thanks again!!!

      @Sasha
      Good morning Sasha,

      yes, the 9 months is extremely unusual and I don't know the background and why the person didn't check with Migraciones earlier. Anyway, the two persons I know who got their residence visa in record time both didn't use an immigration lawyer or tramitador as they asked me for assistance to guide them through the process.

      You can reach Migraciones either by phone under 200-1000, by mail informes @ migraciones.gob.pe or via the chat (enter the Agencia Digital and on the main page on the bottom right you see this image of a woman). If you can't get an answer or you have the feeling the person giving you an answer doesn't know what he/she is talking about or seemingly just wants to get rid of you, you still can make an appointment to see someone in person at Migraciones. This might be wise if the answer is strange or evasive or you are waiting for the approval for too long. You can make an appointment on the Agencia Digital on the main page in the left menu under Citas en linea and there Informes.

      When I remember correctly, if your visa is denied, you have 15 days to leave the country. Be aware that you have the right to appeal the Migraciones decision. Depending on the reason they give you for the denial it might be worth doing so, however, in such cases using an immigration lawyer might be money well spend.

      Have a good day and let me know how it's going.

      @Sunflower Thanks for your replies, Eva. 
      If I overstay those 15 days I just pay a fee as usual when you overstay the visa? I am already on some project so in case I am denied, 15 days will not work. But I hope all is good. I will keep you posted. Thank you!

      Sasha, in the unlikely event that your visa is denied, I recommend to not overstay the time Migraciones gives you to leave the country. They can (and have in the past) issue a obligatory departure notice which might prevent you from returning any time soon. So, better immediately contact an immigration lawyer and appeal their denial decision.

      And as I think you did everything right there shouldn't be a reason that Migraciones denies your application.It just takes time.

      @Mvg
      Hello Mvg,

      as far as I know there is no specific time you have to do the biometrical data appointment.

      And no, you don't have to do it when your stay as a tourist is still valid. Only on the day of your residence visa application your stay as a tourist must be valid, then time stops and even if your stay as a tourist is expired when you have your biometrical appointment you don't have any problems.

      However, it is recommended to make an appointment either at the end of your application when the system asks you to do it or shortly afterwards. And while in some cases Migraciones takes ages to approve the visa (the longest I heard recently was over half a year) in other cases things go through in just a few weeks (5 weeks was the quickest I heard); so you want to have your fingerprints, photo and signature taken as soon as possible, so if you belong to the quick cases that you immediately can make an appointment to pick up carné.

      Over the past two months or so I was told that appointments for the biometrical data, even in Lima, are readily available and if you are lucky get one within a few days.

      And yes, if you have to leave the country during the processing time of your application you must apply for the travel permit. And no, for that you don't need to have your biometrical data taken first.

      @Ore
      Hello Ore,

      as described above under Legal background for the work visa application in Peru the most common way to apply for a work visa (or a family visa) is to enter Peru as a tourist and then change your immigration status from tourist to work - make a so called Cambio de calidad migratoria - at Migraciones.

      So, best take your time and read through the whole article above, which not only gives you lots of useful info for a work visa application but as well explains in detail the necessary preparation work and the whole application process.

      And, if you are considering applying for a family visa, check out our article Peruvian Family Visa, which guides you through the application for this type of residence visa.

    I am working in United States and plan on moving to Peru. My current job is asking for me to obtain a work visa from Peru for my ob in United States. Is this process easy? Upon reading into it on this site i saw there are several forms that need to be filled out. I just want to make sure which forms i really need to submit as i do not want to miss anything. Thank you for your help.

    If the employeeing company is a company from United States and does not have a location within Peru. (Does not have SUNAT registration) am i still able to obtain a work visa from Peru?

      Hello Chris,

      I combined your two comments, as they and the answer belong together.

      Anyway, you are moving to Peru permanently? Then you need a residence visa. But in your case, the work visa is not the right one as you are employed in the US by a US company and pay your taxes in the US. You have no grounds to apply for a work visa in Peru.

      To get a work visa in Peru, you must be employed by (or must have a service contract with) a Peruvian company. A work contract from a US company which doesn't have a subsidiary in Peru won't be accepted.

      Sorry.

      Anyway, you could establish your own company in Peru, then employ yourself and get the work visa that way. If you consider this, I highly recommend talking to a notary or immigration lawyer to set up everything correctly.

      Greetings

    Hello,
    I've found a company that wants to hire me
    I know I have to ask and pay for the permiso de firmar contratos and then sign the contract within 30 days. 
    To apply for the work residence visa in migraciones website, is there any limited time too? Or is it ok to do it just a day or two before my tourist visa runs out? 
    When I finally get the work visa and want to change jobs is there any limited time as well? I mean, is it possible to be without a job for a month or two while still being in the country Peru?

      @VG Hello VG

      I’m not sure why you want to wait before applying for your resident work visa until the last day, if you have all other documents required. But as mentioned above under the Requirements, if you apply for a resident work visa as dependent worker your legally signed and by the Peruvian Labor Ministry approved work contract cannot be older than 30 days.

      And while your resident work visa will be valid for 1 year, if you change jobs (see above under “Things you should know living in Peru on a work visa”) you must inform Migraciones about it within 30 days and apply for a so-called "modificación de datos en el registro central de extranjería" on the Agencia Digital. So, this gives you only a month to be without / find a new job.

      @Audrey Hello Audrey,

      Not sure what information you are looking for.

      The Peruvian company hiring you as a foreigner and sponsoring your work visa must be 100% legal.

      Generally, the Peruvian company, is only allowed to employ 20% foreigners and combined these can only receive 30% of the wages paid by the company (there are exemptions). Additionally, they have to “expose” their business incl. exact income, expenditures, employees, and payroll completely to SUNAT and Migraciones (see the requirements “Sworn statement of the legal representative of the company declaring that he/she is in charge of hiring staff and why he/she needs to employ a foreigner” and “SUNAT registration, including RUC showing the employing company is active”).

      The work contract must be a standard Peruvian one and, in case you want to apply for a resident work visa (trabajador dependiente), must have a duration of at least 12 months without probation period. 

      The best place to ask for specifics might be the Labor Ministry as they must approve the contract.

    Hello,
    Thank you for all the information! I used to have a work visa residence, i applied for it in 2019. But because i stayed too long outside of Peru (because of the pandemic) i lost it. A few days ago I entered again Peru with the intention to stay, but they only gave me a 90 days tourist visa. I went to migraciones and asked if I was able to renew my work visa but i was told I have to do the whole process again. I wander if that's true because the card Carne de extranjería has a expiration date in 2024. 
    Did the rules to get a residence work visa change between 2019 and now? Because i never had to prove a background document. Interpol yes, but not the background info. I might have used a declaración jurada that time in 2019. I'm already in Peru and it's quite difficult to get it from my home country the Netherlands. 
    Thank you.

      @Audrey Hello Audrey,

      Yes, there have been some changes since 2019.

      One of them is that most foreign nationals who can travel to Peru visa-free only get 90 days in a 180-day period as a tourist. This rule is already in place since mid-June 2019, but only strictly enforced since August 2021.

      And no, as you entered as a tourist you can’t renew your resident work visa. You must apply for a new one. And yes, since August 2021 one of the requirements to apply for any resident visa is a criminal record check from your home country. See the article above under “Required documents to apply for a resident (!) work visa (trabajador dependiente)”.

      Just as a side note: Even if they had let you enter on your expired work visa or even if Migraciones had let you renew your resident work visa, you now would have to pay a fine of 46 Soles per day since August 21, 2021, when a Covid grace period ended (that’s over 22,000 Soles until today), as you haven’t extended your resident visa on time.

      Anyway, your carné, so the card, might be still valid, but your resident visa isn’t. In my opinion, there is no way around applying for a new work visa.

      I understand that getting the criminal record can be a mission and difficult to manage from outside your home country in the time you have. But get a bit creative and start now to not lose valuable time. It’s doable and, if necessary, there is a way to present a missing document later.

      So, for now get the process of obtaining your criminal record in Holland going (don’t forget the Apostille!) Once this is on the way, get your work contract (if you haven’t one already) and get it approved by the Labor Ministry. And get your Ficha from Interpol, which you should be able to do in the time until your stay as a tourist expires.

      Then, on the last day (or better the day before) when your stay as a tourist is still valid, apply for your work visa. As described above under our application guide, point "2nd page of the work visa application” you must upload the Ficha from Interpol and your criminal record check otherwise you can’t continue. But as you most probably won’t have the criminal record check by then, you could (as one of our readers reported) just upload the Ficha a second time or upload a page explaining that your criminal record check hasn’t arrived yet. Then you can continue and submit your application. Within anything between a few days and a couple of months (depending on the workload of Migraciones) you will get a request to upload the criminal record check. If you have it by then, fine, just upload it. If you still don’t have it, you can apply for an extension for another 30 days.

      So, this little loophole allows you to apply for your work visa when your stay as a tourist is still valid and gives you enough time to get your criminal record check from abroad.

      If you need any further help, let me know

    Hi there! Thank you for the article! Unfortunately I am stuck at the Migraciones website now because once I go to the small link to get the "update code" there are two options I can choose for the questionnaire. And neither seems to work smoothly. I should choose "pre-inscription" , right? But where do I get this code? It takes me to the short questionnare where I fill out everything but in the end I still have to provide some "codico pre-inscription"?? where do I get this?

      Hello Sasha,

      What's the other option? And how do they call it in Spanish on the Agencia Digital? Pre-inscription doesn't sound right to me, you need to do the data update.

      One of our readers just did the data update a few weeks ago. I contacted her to ask what she chose. I hope she is getting back to me soon.

      Hello Sasha,

      I just heard back. She told me that she filled in all the fields, left the field for the pre-inscription code blank, filled in the Captcha and clicked on Continuar which worked.

      Is attached page where you are stuck?

      Hello Sasha,

      Honestly, I don't know.

      I thought the login details for the mailbox are at the bottom of your confirmation letter. Did they change this? How did you receive the code if not via the mail box? Was it on your screen?

      If you didn't get the e-mail, the only thing coming to my mind is checking your spam folder. If nothing is there, the only option might be to contact Migraciones, because I don't have an idea how you can find out which e-mail you used.

      Sorry.

      Well, how do I contact Migraciones? Any good email for that? No the emails are not in my spam ! Thanks a lot!

    hello, 
    I asked it somewhere already, but cannot find the answer (so sorry if I'm just missing it). 
    Could you tell me what are main differences (in rights  or others, like procedures of being here, leaving the country for a while, ect.) while having temporary work visa or resident work visa (except the time you can have a contract for)?
    and also-if I can apply for permanent one when I have a contract for exactly one year?
    I'm asking, because I have issues to get properly signed criminal records from my country and in temporary visa it's enough to write a statement.
    Thank you so much for the answers

      @K Hello K,

      A couple of weeks ago you asked in the comments of our article “International document corresponding to the Antecedentes” how to get the criminal background check in Poland which I tried to answer.

      Anyway, the main difference between a temporary and resident work visa is already explained in the name of both. The temporary work visa is intended for foreigners who want to work in Peru short-term (temporary) without the intention of residence in the country and for those you have a probation period where it’s not clear if they will work and live long-term in Peru.

      Temporary work visas are multiple entry visas and allow you to work for up to 183 days in a year. However, they can be extended, or at any time during that year you can switch to a resident work visa if you have a contract with a duration of at least 12 months.

      The resident work visa, however, is intended for those you have a valid work contract of at least 12 months and want to live long-term in Peru. It’s valid for one year, so you can live and work in Peru for one year. But you can’t leave Peru for longer than half a year, otherwise you lose your residency. After one year of living on a resident work visa in Peru, you can / must extend it.

      Then, after three years of legal residency (so living and working in Peru on a resident work visa) you can apply for a permanent resident work visa, which is valid indefinitely as long as you don’t leave Peru for more than a year.

      While it might be accurate that you don’t need the criminal record check of your home country when applying for a temporary work visa, the problem is you can only work and be in Peru for half a year in a year. You, of course, can apply for a resident work visa after you worked half a year in Peru, but then you need the criminal record check. The same applies if you want to switch to a permanent resident work visa after three years; you will need the criminal record check again.

    Hi, 
    Thanks so much for the very informative article.
    I am planning to stay in Peru for more than a year to work for one company as a vidiographer (making videos and movies for them). They are planning to have a contract of services with me (an independent contractor providing services to them).
    I have 3 questions as I couldn't find this information on the article.
    1. Does this contract also has to be approved by the Ministry of Labor? From the gob.pe website I had an impression that it doesn't. Just a simple cope of the contract stipulating my services, duration and the wage.
    2. The process may take longer than my tourist visa (I have two months left). What shall I do? I can't travel while my application is under review! So re- entering seems not an option? 
    3. Are diplomas crucial to attach? Or my CV and some certificates given to me as an artist/ filmmaker will suffice?

    Thanks a lot!

      @Sasha Hello Sasha,

      If you get a service contract of 12 months or longer, you can apply for the work visa as “trabajador independiente”, make a cambio de calidad migratoria a trabajador residente independiente. The process is the same as described above for trabajador residente. The only difference is that instead of the work contract, you have to present a service contract.

      Answer to your first question

      As trabajador dependiente the work contract has to be approved by the Labor Ministry. As trabajador independiente the service contract does not have to be approved, at least that's what the Supreme Decree 002-2021-IN page 42, article 88B, 7b and the just recently updated TUPA, page 138, article 7b says.

      “b)Para el caso de Trabajador Independiente, debe presentar:
      Copia simple del contrato de prestación de servicios, indicando el tiempo de duración del servicio igual o superior a un (1) año.” So, a simple copy of a service contract with a duration of 1 year or more.

      Answer to your second question

      Which process takes longer? Getting all the documents together for the application before your stay as a tourist expires? Then, the only thing you can do is leave and return, hoping that when you come back before your 180 day period is over the immigration officer has a heart and allows you to re-enter and gives you enough time to apply.

      Or did you mean that the approval process after the application of your work visa may take longer? Then, no problem. The important thing is that your stay as a tourist is still valid on the day you apply on the Agencia Digital and receive the confirmation of your application. After that, time stops; and no matter how long the approval process takes you don’t have to worry even if your stay as a tourist expires. Just make sure you apply when your “tourist visa” is valid, then you are good.

      Answer to your third question

      No. For the application of your work visa at Migraciones you don’t need your CV or any diplomas or certificates. As described above under requirements for the resident work visa, you need:

      - Form PA - Cambio de Calidad Migratoria
      - Interpol clearance - Ficha de canje internacional not older than 6 months (see below)
      - Receipt for paid application fee (code Migraciones 07568; concept Cambio de calidad migratoria trabajador residente; S/.162.50 in 2022)
      - Passport
      - Antecedentes policiales, penales y judiciales (Police clearance certificate, criminal record and judicial matters check) issued in the country of origin and, if the applicant lived in another country before coming to Peru, in the country of residence covering the last 5 years (*)
      - Sworn statement of the legal representative of the company declaring that he/she is in charge of hiring staff and why he/she needs to employ a foreigner
      - SUNAT registration, including RUC (Peruvian tax number) showing the employing company is active
      - Service contact (instead of the work contract mentioned in the list above)

      That's it according to the current regulation. However, be aware that Migraciones has the right to request other or additional documents at any time.

      @Sasha The regulation 7b as mentioned above in my comment  doesn't say, if the service contract can't be older than 30 days; so, I assume (!) yes, it can. But if you want to make sure, best check with Migraciones.

      And yes, if you want to legally sign a contact when being in Peru as a tourist, you must first get the authorization to sign contracts. Our article "Permit" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.limaeasy.com/peru-guide/legal-stuff/permit-to-sign-contracts-pefc-permiso-especial-para-firmar-contratos-in-peru">Permit to sign contracts (PEFC- Permiso especial para firmar contratos) in Peru" explains in detail how it's done.

But by the time I will apply maybe it is total duration is less, since I am still waiting for some documents. Will this matter? Or it will still read as a 13 month contract for my application? I hope my question is clear .... Thank you!

    Great post, many thanks. It has helped answer a few things. 

    I do have a couple of questions. 

    I'm looking at setting up my own company in Peru and then hiring myself. I understand all that process. So my question is. 

    What is the minimum wage i have to pay myself? 

    What tax rate do i have to pay?

    Does my business have to pay tax and then i pay a further income tax?

    Can i be the only employee? 

    I'm thinking about setting up a marketing company, hiring myself, then apply for the work visa. I'm sure I'll find enough clients to pay myself a minimum wage. 

    Thanks for your help

      @Kevin Hello Kevin,

      yes, for quite a few years already it is possible to set up a Peruvian company as a foreigner, then employ yourself as the general manager, sign a contract with your company, get it approved by the Labor Ministry and then apply for a work visa.

      You can find a general overview of company & corporation types in Peru, general information about setting up a company and an introduction into Peruvian labor regulations in our Business Guide.

      As there are quite a few hurdles to overcome and regulations and laws change frequently, honestly, I lack the specific and up-to-date knowledge in this area (even Peruvian lawyers and notaries sometimes have a hard time keeping up) and can’t answer your questions; lots depend as well on your company type and overall setup. And as we are talking here about setting up a company in a foreign country and basing your resident visa on this, it is important that you are well and 100% accurately informed about your rights and obligations, all the little details, implications, and possible pitfalls before starting this endeavor. This is something I just can’t provide. Sorry. So, I highly recommend working together with a trustworthy immigration lawyer and/or notary.

      Therefore, here just a few general ideas I have after reading your questions:

      You should be aware that for setting up a company in Peru as a foreigner, you most probably need a Peruvian (silent) partner who owns a small percentage of your company.

      You should further be aware that on the one side you own a company with all rights and obligations according to Peruvian law (for example, paying taxes on your profits after a certain quite low threshold, or withholding and paying taxes and social security payments (such as health insurance, pension fund, etc.) for your employees, or paying your employees benefits (such as CTS).

      On the other hand, you are the employee and yes, you have to pay income tax, health insurance, pension fund, etc. according to Peruvian labor laws.

      Sorry, I couldn’t help more.

    Hi! 

    I came across Lima Easy and was fascinated by the quality information that I found on your website. As a US citizen currently living in Lima, Peru, (yes, I've been overstaying for over 2 years now) I wanted to see if you had any suggestions or recommendations regarding my immigration situation.

    1. First of all I would like to know if you could recommend a good Peruvian immigration lawyer? (Since I've overstayed my tourist visa and am in the process of applying for a "trabajador residente visa.")

    2. Do you have any personal recommendations on how I can approach my situation? I will be going back to the US in November, so if I can't complete the entire immigration process because of my legal status, then I could complete it at my nearest Peruvian consulate. Would overstaying, and possibly getting a ban from re-entering because I've overstayed for over 2 years, would affect my ability to request my "trabajador residente" visa from the US?

    3. If you have any good Peruvian legal advisors in mind please feel free to send them my way.

    Thank you again for providing life-changing knowledge on your website!

    Best,

      @Rigo Hello Rigo,

      Thank you so much for your praise. You made my day!

      Yes, in your situation an immigration lawyer is more than advisable. As we from LimaEasy have never used one and skills, reliability, success rates and charges aren’t consistent, we just can’t recommend anyone. Sorry.

      The problem is that right now, with being in Peru on an expired tourist visa, you can’t apply for a resident visa. So, there are two options:

      1. Request a “regulación migratoria” at Migraciones yourself or through an immigration lawyer, which I recommend, as he/she will know all the little hurdles and pitfalls. Once this is granted, you can apply for your resident visa.

      2. Leave Peru and return. You will have to pay the multa for overstaying when leaving (S/ 4.60 for each overstayed day in 2022; from April 2020 to August 2021 overstay fees are waved, the remaining days in 2021 S/ 4.40 for each overstayed day). As you overstayed such a long time, there is the danger of getting a re-entry ban for a year or even longer. This means you are prohibited from entering Peru during that time; with visa or without. Additionally, as most Peruvian consulates abroad don’t issue resident visas anymore and tell people they should enter the country as tourist and then apply at Migraciones, this idea unfortunately doesn’t work as well.

      So, the only thing I can do is wish you all the best.

      @Sunflower Hi Eva, 

      Thank you very much for your info. I've been very busy these past days trying to find an immigration lawyer to help me out with my process. 

      One quick question, to get my rolled fingerprints in Lima do I need to go to any special police station? Do you have any recommendations? I did see that you posted one in the article attached below, however, I wanted to see if there were others you'd recommend?

      Also, is the "Policía Nacional del Peru" familiar with the rolled fingerprints service? How would I go to request said service from them?

      Thank you in advance.

      Best,

      @Rigo To my knowledge, the only police station that is accepted, for example, by the FBI to do the fingerprints is the Direccion de Criminalistica PNP on Av. Aramburu 550 in San Isidro. Not sure, if other police stations in Lima can do the job as well.

      At least before Covid you could just show up there and they would take your prints on special cards they provided there. But, when I remember correctly, some countries want special fingerprint cards that can be downloaded, printed and then brought with you.

      @Sunflower @Sunflower Hi again Eva, 

      I am writing this time to let you know that my work visa has been finally approved! I ended up having no issues leaving the country, after overstaying for 2 years during and after COVID, since I just paid my overstay fees and was allowed back in Peru with no issues. I was given 90 days after my reentry, Jan 1st, to change my legal status and it took MIGRACIONES 2 weeks to notify me that my work visa had been approved and should be notifying me to pick up my Carné very soon. 

      I must be honest, I didn't expect my reentry to be this easy. I was extremely worried that I might have been barred from reentering Peru, but everything went very smoothly. 

      I am thankful for your support and help during this daunting process. I know you helped me think some things through so I am grateful for that. Again, thanks for helping people through this daunting process.

      Hello Rigo (sorry for misspelling your name),

      so great hearing back from you!

      I can't believe it. You must have an extremely hard working lucky star. First, no problems when leaving and that after excessive overstaying. How did you manage that? Then returning after just a few months outside Peru and getting 90 days without any problems. And how did you do that? And after that two weeks from application to approval. That must be a new record. What was the trick? Did you use an immigration lawyer? Would you share your secret? I have someone else who needs his work visa approved as quickly as possible, so his family can apply for a family visa before their stay as a tourist expires.

      I'm so happy for you that everything worked out.

      Thanks for sharing. Sometimes it's good to hear these positive stories.

      Wishing you all the best.

    I plan to work in Peru as an au pair for 4-6 months, receiving money from a family rather than a registered company. I was planning to obtain a business visa to enter the country, but that only lets me stay for up to 3 months. Can you advise what I should do to stay there for longer?

    thanks!

      @Rebecca Hello Rebecca,

      Sorry to say, but your idea with the business visa won’t solve your problems.

      If you belong to a nationality that gets the business upon entry, you only get up to 90 days; if you belong to a nationality that has to apply for a business visa at a Peruvian consulate before coming to Peru you get a multiple entry visa valid for 180 days in a 365-day period, but most probably will only get 90 days when you enter, but could leave and re-enter.

      But in both cases, a business visa is intended for those visitors who engage in any sort of international business activities, need to sign business contracts or agreements, need to make business related financial transactions, etc. On a business visa, you are not allowed to work, and you are not allowed to receive any kind of payment for work. So, in your case a business visa doesn’t make any sense.

      Additionally, I’m not sure what you mean with “work as an Au Pair” and “receiving money from a family “. Don’t Au Pairs usually take care of the children of a family and do some light (children related) housework in exchange for getting food and accommodation provided by the family free of charge, and a small allowance in addition?

      Anyway, Peru doesn’t have a special visa for Au Pairs. As far as I know, Au Pairs usually come to Peru as a tourist and leave the country when their days are up.

      So, as you will only get up to 90 days when you enter as a tourist, can’t extend your stay, and can’t apply for a longer term temporary or resident visa, your options to stay 4 to 6 months are limited. Even though I can’t and won’t recommend it, the easiest way is to just overstay and pay a fine of S/ 4.60 a day when leaving. Or you could leave when your 90 days are coming to an end and immediately re-enter; however, as you already used your 90 days in a 180-day period, you most probably only get another couple of days up to 1 month. Or just come to Peru for 3 months.

      @Nathalia Hello Nathalia,

      if you have a work visa, you can stay outside Peru for a maximum of 183 days, so 6 months per year. If you are outside Peru longer, you will lose your residency and have to start the whole application process from scratch.

      Even though you have a 3 year work contract, your residency (so your work visa) is only valid for one year and then has to be extended which isn't a big deal if your work contract is already validated by the Ministry of Labor and you are in Peru.

      However, if you are outside Peru at the time your resident visa expires, you can still enter Peru as a resident, but for each day you are late on extending your residency, you will have to pay a fine of 1% of an UIT ( S/ 46 per day) at the moment you apply for the extension of your visa.

    Hi,

    Im in Peru on a tourist visa with the hopes of working temporarily (2-3 months) in Lima. Do I need to only apply for a temporary work visa? 

    I read that I need to apply for the permit to sign work contracts. Is that all I would need to do in order work temporarily in Peru or is there a longer process?

    Appreciate the help, the process can be overwhelming.

      @Jose Hello Jose,

      You are not allowed to work for a Peruvian company and receive any kind a renumeration when you are in Peru as a tourist!

      Yes, if you want to sign a work contract, first you have to apply for the Permit to sign contracts (see my answer to your first comment). The contract then has to be approved by the Peruvian Ministry of Labor.

      With this being done, you have to get all other documents you need for a temporary work visa application together; see Decreto Supremo 002-2021-IN article 75-A (page 14 of the PDF or page 32 of the original document).

      And only then, with a still valid tourist visa you can apply for the temporary work visa, which may take a few weeks or many months until approved.

      Be aware that you are officially only allowed to start your work when your temporary work visa application is approved.

      As you are planning to work in Peru for just two or three months, the whole process isn’t worth the effort.

      Above mentioned only applies if you are working in Peru for a Peruvian company and receive your money from this Peruvian company in Peru. If you are, however, sent to work in a Peruvian company for a few months by a foreign company and get your wage from the company abroad, the situation is different and the visa has to be applied for at a Peruvian company before coming to Peru. And as you then already have your visa, you can start work immediately. 

      Sorry.
