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.

Foreign nationals, who are in Peru as a tourist or hold another temporary visa, can only sign a legally binding document (such as a work contract, ...

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.

With the exception for the exemptions mentioned above, you can only apply for a temporary work visa or a dependent resident work visa, after the work contract is approved by the Labor Ministry. Service contracts for the independent resident work visa application do not need the approval of 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”.

Foreign nationals, who want to apply for a residence visa in Peru (for example because they are married to a Peruvian, found work in Peru, want to ...

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 1350, the "old" Foreigner Law, and the Decreto Legislativo 1582, which both only stipulate 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 88.

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 131.

 

Requirements for a work visa application in Peru

Below you find the requirements to apply for a temporary or resident work visa, accurately to make a so-called "Cambio de calidad migratoria" (change of immigration status) in Peru.

Please be aware that Migraciones has the right to request other and/or additional documents at any time.

Required documents to apply for a temporary (!) work visa in Peru include:

  • Passport
  • Legally signed and by the Peruvian Labor Ministry approved work contract with a duration of less than 12 months or with a probation period (approved not more than 30 days ago)

Requirements to apply for a dependent (!) resident work visa (trabajador dependiente) include:
  • Passport
  • Clean criminal record (Antecedentes policiales, penales y judiciales) from your home country or from the country where you legally lived (so with a resident visa) during the 5 years prior to coming to Peru (1) + (2) + (3)

Requirements to apply for an independent (!) resident work visa (trabajador independiente) include:

  • “Recibo”, so a water or electricity bill showing your address (doesn't have to be in your name)

Explanatory notes for the requirements:

First of all, be aware that documents have an "expiration" date in Peru. If not otherwise stated:

  • Documents issued in Peru are usually only accepted when they were issued a maximum of 3 months prior to being submitted (exception work contract, which can't be older than 30 days).
  • Documents issued outside Peru are usually only accepted when they were issued not more than 6 months prior to being submitted.

(1) As we get many question about the “Antecedentes policiales, penales y judiciales” we dedicated a separate article to the topic where we explain in detail what kind of document you need, where you get it and what to watch out for when applying for it.

(2) 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.

(3) 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.

(4) Even though no longer on the official requirement list, if you are a dependent worker the RUC number of the company employing you has to be entered when you apply. If you apply for an independent resident work visa the system might ask for your personal RUC number, which you only can apply for at SUNAT, when you already have your resident visa. So, if this happens, please check with Migraciones how to proceed.

 

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”.

All foreigners must present the "Ficha de Canje Internacional" to Migraciones when changing their immigration status, for example, from a temporary...

Paying the application fee

Then pay the fee of S/ 22.20 (temporary work visa) / S/ 161.40 (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".

All administration charges, processing fees and fines government agencies, public authorities and entities levy in Peru have to be paid at the Banc...

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. As already explained above, you can only legally sign a document in Peru when you have a valid Permit to sign contracts. So, make sure your permit is still good, when you sign the sworn statement.

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, where you have to submit your application online, is in Spanish only. We highly recommend not to use 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 not to use a VPN and switching off any ad blockers or an incognito mode you might use.

And even though we try to keep this guide as up-to-date as possible, due to constant changes to the Agencia Digital not everything might be exactly as described below. So, please see this walk-through as general guidance only. If you find mistakes or some changes to the process described below, you are more than welcome to share your experience below as a comment (visible to everyone after approval) or to use the e-mail button on the bottom of the page to send a private e-mail.

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 fill in the following fields:

  • Tipo de documento: choose in the drop-down menu the document with which you entered Peru (most probably passport)
  • Numero de documento: enter your passport number
  • Fecha de nacimiento: enter your birthdate (click on the little calendar; to choose the year: click on the down arrow next to the date, then, if necessary, click on the less-than-sign and choose the year; afterwards select the month and the day).
  • Nacionalidad: select your nationality in the drop-down menu (be aware that the nationalities are in Spanish; so, you won't find United Stated or US and must select EE.UU; or you won't find UK and must choose Gran Bretaña (or Inglaterra or Escocia); or no Netherlands but Paises Bajos, no Germany but Alemania, etc.)
  • Ultimo movimiento migratorio de entrada: click on the calendar and choose the date you entered Peru
  • Codigo Captcha: just enter the captcha.

Click on Verificar. Now you are on the main page of the Agencia Digital.

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

Register your personal data in the Migraciones database

Before you start your visa application, you first should register your personal data in the Migraciones database.

In the menu on the left find the point “Actualizacion de Datos”. It’s usually quite at the bottom. Click on it and you should be re-directed to the Sistema de Actualizacion de Datos page.

Please note: Some of our readers commented that if they click on the “Actualizacion de Datos” menu point an error message pops up and they can’t get to the correct page to fill in their data. It seems that Migraciones once again is in the process of changing some procedures and forms. So, if you get the error message, just continue with your visa application as explained below.

If you are re-directed you should automatically be on the "Actualicación de Datos Extranjero" page.  Here 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 sex and enter the captcha. Then you get to a quite extensive questionnaire.

Be aware that you only have 20 minutes to complete the questionnaire and once you started you must finish it within this time 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, sex, 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 as well should have to upload the "recibo", so a water or electricity bill showing your address (doesn't have to be in your name).

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, 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 another country.

As soon as you have completed the last page of the questionnaire, the system accepts all your answers, and you are registered. Now, return to the main page of the Agencia Digital.

1st page of the work visa application

On the main page of the Agencia Digital 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 you get to the first page of the actual visa application.

Here, select the Migraciones branch or MAC center closest to you which should handle your application (for example, Lima, Cusco, Arequipa, …).

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.

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). You are then asked to fill in your passport number, the date of issue and the country of issue and upload a copy of the passport page with your photo and personal data.

Under the "Ficha de Canje Interpol" tab, you must upload the Ficha de Canje from Interpol and if you apply for a resident work visa your criminal record check you brought from home, or if you apply for a temporary work visa your sworn statement that you don't have a criminal record. 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 contract approved by the Labor Ministry if you apply for a temporary or dependent resident work visa or your service contract if you apply for the independent resident work visa.

Under the "Documentos especificos" tab you must upload the sworn statement of the legal representative of the company.

If you apply for a temporary or dependent resident work visa enter the RUC number of the company employing you under the "Ficha RUC" tab. If you apply for an independent resident work visa the system might ask for your personal RUC number, which you only can apply for at SUNAT, when you already have your resident visa. So, if this happens, please check with Migraciones how to proceed.

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. Accept the terms and conditions and click on Siguente.

3rd page of the work visa application

You then get to a page showing the fields of a document called Form PA - Cambio de Calidad Migratoria. If you are already registered the form is already filled in with your personal data. The only fields you can change are your cell phone number and your e-mail address. If you, however, haven't entered your personal data before, just fill in the required fields. Make sure you enter an e-mail address you have unrestricetd access to. If everything is correct, click on “Guardar datos y generar tramite” (Save data and generate procedure).

Please note: For whatever reasons, sometimes this page isn't displayed.

4th page of the work visa application

You now get the "Registro de Solicitud de Cambio de Calidad Migratoria" and a number displayed on your screen.

First of all save this number! It's 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

Then click on the "Descargar" and/or "Imprimir" button to download and/or print the complete document. This "Registro de Solicitud de Cambio de Calidad Migratoria" document is the confirmation of your successful application. Keep it safe!!!

At the top right of the downloaded document under the bar code you again find your Numero de expediente (file number). 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).

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 page. So, before continuing check the Registro page carefully and look for the verification code and the login data. If they aren't there, once you make the appointment for the biometric data, you find a tab on your screen labeled "Cargo tramite". If you click on it, your verification code and your login data should be displayed. If you missed that as well, then once you made the appointment you can download the Formulario PA - Cambio de calidad migratoria under the Historial tramite menu point, which hopefully has the verification code and the login data printed on it.

If you still weren't successful or just misplaced/forgot your login details for the Buzon electronico, there is another easy option to recover at least the access to the Buzon electronico: Just enter the Agencia Digital and on the main page at the top click on the Buzon Electronico button or use this direct link. Then click on "¿Olvidaste la contraseña?" and you get to the "Verificacion de Datos" page. Here enter your nationality, passport, passport number, last name(s), first name(s) and your birthdate. After submitting your information by clicking on Siguiente, you get an e-mail with the "usario" and a link to reset or create a password.

 

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 (numero de tramite).

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".

So, just enter your numero de expediente (numero de tramite) and select a free date. If everything works smoothly, you have an appointment. Download and print your appointment confirmation (Constancia de cita electronica).

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. You will only need your printed (!) appointment confirmation and your passport.

The process varies a bit depending on the office. At the Lima Migraciones office, for example, 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 an hour or two 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, especially if you can't find your login data).

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”.

During the internal evaluation and approval process of any application on the Agencia Digital, Migraciones may discover that you haven’t uploaded a...

If you don’t have the document yet and won’t be able to submit it within the deadline, you still have to react and can apply for an extension of time to hand in the document later. The process is called “Solicitud de ampliación de plazos” and explained in our article "Extension of a Migraciones deadline".

During the internal evaluation and approval process of your visa application (Cambio de calidad migratoria) or of the application for the extension...

 

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 4 to 6 weeks (temporay workers) / 2 to 3 months (resident workers) 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 two or three weeks after application. On the other hand, in case you haven't heard anything from Migraciones 2 months (temporary students) / 4 months (resident students) after your application, you should check with them what's going on.

Anyway, sooner or later you find a notification in your Buzon electronico (the subjection line should be something like "Notificación tramite cambio de calidad") informing you about the approval of your visa.

Congrats, but at least if you are a resident worker (or in some cases as well a temporary worker) you are not finished yet. You still need your Carné de Extranjeria, your official Peruvian ID.

 

Getting your Carné (foreigner ID)

Temporay Workers

Temporary Workers are not issued a carné automatically. 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

The notification from Migraciones informing you about the approval of your resident work visa as well 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 (Notificación expedición del carné) informing you that your carné was issued.

Officially Migraciones has another 30 business days counted from the approval of the visa to send the expedición del carné 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.

As soon as you got the official notification that your carné is ready, get going.

Be aware that in some Migraciones offices you need an appointment to pick up your carné while at others, especially in the provinces, no appointment is needed and you can just show up any time, any day or at a specific day and/or time. Please check with the Migraciones office where you applied. 

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

Please note: Especially in Lima it can be a mission to get an appointment to pick up your carné. Your only option is to try again and again and again, tomorrow, the day after, a week later, ... You could also try to change the Migraciones office, where you want to pick up your carné, and see if there appointments are available.

If, for whatever reasons, you urgently need your carné number or something to prove that you have a carné, but can't get an appointment to pick it up, you can download a document on the Agencia Digital confirming that you have a valid carné despite not having the actual card in your hands yet. On the main page of the Agencia Digital in the left menu, click under "Constancias" on the point "Carné de Extranjería". You get a page with the data that is printed on your carné. Below just confirm "Estos son los datos con los cuales se emitirá su constancia ...." by clicking on the little square and click Siguiente. Now, the "Constancia de Emisión de carné de Extranjería" is displayed on your screen. Just download it and, if necessary, print it and you have proof that you have a carné and are legally in the country.

Anyway, to pick up your carné you need your passport. If you have an appointment you as well must bring your printed (!!!) appointment confirmation. Best be at the Migraciones office 15-30 minutes before. 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

Temporary worker

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.

If any information you provided when applying for your temporary student visa changes, Migraciones must be informed about it within 30 days. So, if you get a new passport, move to a new address, change your name, change the university, etc. you have to apply for a so-called "Actualización de datos". The process is explained in our article Update your information in the Migraciones database.

If any of your information, which is printed on your carné or which is registered in the Migraciones database, changes, you must apply for a so-cal...

Resident worker

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

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.

In Peru, a residence visa, so the permit allowing you to live in the country (not the carné, the card), is usually valid for only one (1) year and ...

The carné (so the Peruvian foreigner ID card) is usually valid for four years and then must be renewed. For more details, check out our article "Renewal of the carné".

When your Peruvian residence visa is approved, you get the Carné de Extranjería, your Peruvian foreigner ID. The carné, so the card (not the reside...

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.

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.

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”.

If any of your information, which is printed on your carné or which is registered in the Migraciones database, changes, you must apply for a so-cal...

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 on 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 as a service provider, 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.

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?

Officially, no. You have 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 (March 2025) 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 worker 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, 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 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”.

During the internal evaluation and approval process of any application on the Agencia Digital, Migraciones may discover that you haven’t uploaded a...

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”.

During the internal evaluation and approval process of your visa application (Cambio de calidad migratoria) or of the application for the extension...

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.

    Hello Eva! Thank you for providing us with this blog, it has been an incredibly helpful resource for me in my efforts to get my resident work visa approved. 

    I have almost all the documents I need in order to submit my application but I am confused about how to get my work contract approved by the Peruvian Labor Ministry - the link to see the forms sends me to an invalid address. 

    Do I go with my contract to Avenida Salaverry N° 655, en Jesús María with out an appointment? Or is it an online process? And do I need the contract and the "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", or is it ok if I just bring the contract? My hiring company does not have a immigration lawyer helping me with the red tape so I am handling it on my own, and was hoping for some guidance. 

    Thank you so much for your help! Best,
    Kiera

      @Kiera Hello Kiera,

      Great to hear that our work visa article helped on your way to get your resident work visa.

      And thank you so much for pointing out that the link to the Peruvian Ministry of Labor doesn’t work anymore and the information provided isn’t up-to-date. Sorry, for that. I will update it just now and as well will add some more detailed information on how to apply for the approval of a work contract.

      For quite some time now you don’t have to go to the Peruvian Ministry of Labor in person anymore. The application for the approval of the work contract is done online on the "Registro Nacional de Contratos de Trabajo de Personal Extranjero" platform of the Peruvian Ministry of Labor called SIVICE.

      This is the link to the correct part of the website of the Peruvian Ministry of Labor.


      Under this link you find more or less useful information. If you scroll down to the bottom, you will find 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 (hope it works).

      As you seem to be on your own, helpful will surely be this video published by the Peruvian Ministry of Labor explaining how the SIVICE system works. You could as well check out the "Manual" (blue button next to the "Ir al Sistema" button), which I find a bit confusing. The video, on the other hand, is easy to understand and you can simply follow the instruction when you are in the system applying for the approval.

      Hope this helps.

      Greetings

    Tanya · 26/07/2023
    Hello, thank you so much for providing all this detailed information on the visa procedures. 

    I just wanted to check with you one aspect of the procedure. I have a friend who owns a coffee farm close to Machu Picchu where she does turismo vivencial. I want to join her to help out with promoting the business and other tasks that require foreign languages. 

    In order to get the visa, I was thinking of going down the "contrato de locacion de servicios" route as it seems more simple in term of migraciones procedures and labour laws.

     I just wanted to double check with you a few aspects: 
     
    1) she has an E.I.R.L. company - so if I sign a contract with her EIRL, it will be fine for migraciones (as long as it respects the required format and info of course)? It doesn't have to be a specific type of company for the contrato de locacion de servicios to work right? Just be registered with the SUNAT and so on? 

    2) if I understood well, when it's a contrato de locación de servicios, there are no quotas for the number of foreigners "employed" right? So the 20% of employees and 30% income maximum does not apply, since no one is actually employed, correct? Or are there any equivalent conditions for foreigners under the contrato de servicio?

    3) since I would be living with her on her farm, which doesn't' really have an address - as in it's not calle x, city whatever - would that be an issue when indicating the domicilio? I can provide a very vague addresss of the pueblo, district and province + google maps coordinates if needed, but I don't know if that would be an issue. I also have friends who live in Cusco, with a "real address", but I wouldn't actually be living there. Is there anything you can advise on this? 

    Thank you so much for any help you may be able to give and for all the info already available!! 

    Best, 

    Tanya

      @Tanya Hello Tanya,

      I really love your friend's business idea. Can you tell me more about the coffee plant or share a link to the website (you are more than welcome to use our contact form, if you don’t want to do so publicly).

      Anyway, to answer your questions:

      1. As far as I know, the type of company is irrelevant. The important part is that the company is correctly registered as well with SUNAT. Also crucial that the service contract fulfills the required format and, in case you are on a tourist or other temporary visa in the country, that you have a Permiso para firmar contratos before signing the service contract.

      2. As the company doesn’t employ you, the by the Labor Ministry set quotas for employing foreigners do not apply. You should, however, be aware that all other labor regulations that would be in your favor won’t apply as well and you are responsible for paying taxes on your income, pay your own health insurance, etc.

      3. The problem with the address is that before you start with the application on the Agencia Digital you must fill in the data update questionnaire where you must fill in your address. Fields include, when I remember correctly, department, province, district, street, manzana, house number, reference, e-mail, phone number. Not all fields are obligatory and even if, you could always enter n/a (no aplica). The point, however, is that you must upload a recibo (so, a water or electricity or even phone bill or whatever “official” bill your friend might have), which should have the same address on it that you fill in the form.  So, if you friend, where you will be living and working can give you a recibo, use the exact address as printed on it and somehow fit it into the fields of the questionnaire. If your friend doesn’t have any recibo, then your only option is to “borrow” one from your friends in Cusco and use that address.

      Hope to hear back from you

    Hi there again! thanks a lot for all the info. Finally managed to get the work visa approved :)

    I have one more question: Apart from the full-time job I will start now in Peru, I do some freelance work for other companies abroad.
    As a foreigner with a work visa in Peru, can I invoice companies abroad (or even other companies in Peru) for my freelance services, using my peruvian RUC? (I heard I would need to declare it as "ingreso de tercera categoria", but not sure if I can do it as a foreigner with a work visa)

    Thanks a lot!

      @Diego
      Hello Diego,

      I'm really sorry, but taxes and Sunat certainly aren't my forte.

      The tercera categoria is the correct tax category for business income in Peru (from both personas naturales and juridicas). You mainly work dependently and as far as I understand don't want to open a business in Peru but offer additionally to your dependent work as well services as independent.

      Independent work is usually taxed based on the cuarta categoria. However, according to the Sunat website you must add your income from abroad (rentas de fuente extranjera; in your case from services provided abroad (renta obtenida por prestar servicios en el exterior) to your income generated in Peru.

      Anyway, as you see I'm not the right person to ask this question. So, I highly recommend to check with Sunat directly and/or hire an accountant who knows what he/she is doing.

      Greetings

    Hi there, thanks a lot for all of the valuable info! I could finally submit my application for a work visa successfully

    I have a problem now - I downloaded the "Registro de Solicitud de Cambio de Calidad Migratoria" document but it doesn't have all the information. I don't see the "codigo de verification"

    I am travelling outside of the country in 4 days and was trying to apply for the "Permiso de viaje", but I don't have the "codigo de verification". Is there a way to retrieve it?

    I attached a picture of the document I downloaded, The info I covered in green shows only the "numero de expediente/tramite" and the rest below this is a blank page.

    Thanks a lot!

      Hello Diego,

      you didn't get the document as shown in the attached picture displayed? Please note, this is on old version of the form, the new one has as title "Registro de solicitud de cambio de calidad migratoria", but the rest is more or less the same.

      The screenshot you shared should be displayed after you got the form.

      Anyway, if you didn't get the correct form displayed, you at least have your numero de expediente.

      Unfortunately, as far as I know there is no easy way to retrieve the verification code anymore. Your best chance is to call Migraciones using the video call option on the Agencia Digital and hope they have a solution.

      Another option could be to get the travel permit at the airport. One of our readers informed me in March 2023 that you can get the travel permit as well at the airport at the little office opposite the immigration counters where foreigners can pay their overstay fines. I wrote about it in our Travel permit article.

      Sorry, I don't have an easy solution for you.

      @Sunflower Thanks a lot Eva! Finally managed to get the verification code. Sharing below what happened in case it is useful for anyone else!

      - I didn't get a document like the one you shared (form). The day that I uploaded all the documents and finished the application process, the website was quite buggy and prompted a lot of error messages, it wouldn't let me save and finalize the process. I finally tried uploading the documents again using the incognito mode on my browser and it worked. 
      So probably the (wrong) document I got at the end of the application was either due to i) website bug, ii) using the incognito mode.

      - As you suggested, I called Migraciones using the video call option on the Agencia Digital and they gave me the verification code!

      Thanks again Eva!

    Hi there, thanks so much for all the information!
    I have the carnet de extranjeria and need to travel outside of Peru for two months. I wonder if as an employee (trabajador) of a company I need my own RUC number or I can use the company's RUC and can I just print and fill in the f1495 and show it at the migraciones at the airport or do I need to have it signed by my employer or lawyer of the company?
    Thank you so much!

      @Liliana Hello Liliana,

      If you have a dependent work visa and are employed by a Peruvian company, it’s obligatory that you have your own RUC, which is needed so that your company can pay your taxes to SUNAT. If you don’t know your RUC, you can search for it on the SUNAT website. Best select “Por documento” at the top, then carné de extranjería and enter your carné number.

      Additionally, if you are employed by a Peruvian company, you should have an income. So, the Formulario 1495 “Declaración jurada de haber realizado actividades que no impliquen la generación de rentas de fuente peruana” is not the correct form to use as this is only for those who didn’t have any earnings.

      The correct form you need is the Formulario Virtual 1692, which your employer must fill in on their Sunat Virtual and give to you. Not sure who in the company you are working for is responsible for the payroll / employment taxes, but that should be the person to contact.

      Hello Rao,

      yes, you have 15 business days to "appeal" the decision. You must apply for a "Reconsideración de trámite". The correct form letter can be found on the government website.

      I'm not sure if the following explanation on how it's done is still up-to-date (my info is from a year ago); probably first check on the Agencia Digital in the left menu under Subsanacion if you can do so there.

      If not, it should be done on the Agencia Digital under Mesa de Partes. After clicking on Mesa de Partes select persona natural, enter your e-mail address and phone number and accept the terms & conditions. On the next page select under Tipo de Solicitud "Solicitudes en General" and under Subtipo "Solicitud reconsideracion de cambio de calidad migratoria". Then choose the Migraciones office which handled your application and fill under Asunto something in like "Solicitud de recurso de reconsideración de cambio de calidad migratoria a trabjador".

      Then you can download the form letter using the red box. If this doesn't work use the link above. Fill in the form using the file number from your denied application and explain your case thoroughly. Sign the document and make a PDF.

      Then back to the Mesa de Partes. Under Tipo de documento select Carta, No. de Folio 1 and upload the form letter and your new work contract as PDF. Click on registrar and that should be it.

      As said above, I hope that's still the correct way to do it.

      You are Rao? Migraciones didn't like your service contract? Because it wasn't approved by the Labor Ministry or for other reasons?

      Anyway, Migraciones should respond within 30 days.

      If you haven't heard back from them after a good three weeks I would check with Migraciones if your "appeal" was registered correctly and if they are working on it. Just to make sure that everything is fine.

    Hi there, I just got my work contract approved by the Ministry of Labor and I'm about to start the migration application process. 

    It looks like I will be able to overstay my tourist visa as soon as the application is submitted, but my wife and son will have to leave when their tourist visas are up in May. Is there any way to start their Family residency visas before my resident work visa is approved or a way to expedite mine so they won't have to leave the country?

      @Christopher Hello Christopher,

      First, once you completed (!) the application on the Migraciones Agencia Digital and got the file number, publication date and verification code your time as a tourist in Peru stops. Even if your stay as a tourist expires during the processing time of your work visa application you are not overstaying. You are in the process of changing your immigration status, so no tourist anymore.

      Your wife has to apply for the family visa as spouse of a foreigner with resident status (para el caso de casada con extranjero residente en el país); your son as underaged child of a foreigner with resident status (para el caso de hijos menores de edad extranjero residente).

      The problem with both family visa types is that on the second page of the application either the DNI number of the Peruvian part or, as far as I remember (I could be wrong) the carné number of the foreigner with residency must be entered. As this field is obligatory your wife and son cannot continue with their application without having entered your correct carné number, which they can’t until your work visa is approved and you have your carné in your hands.

      So, right now I don’t see a way how your wife and son can apply until you have your carné. With this being said, I think you only have two options:

      Does the company employing you supports you with your visa application? Do they have an (immigration) lawyer available? If so, does he/she is well connected with Migraciones? If yes, first check with the company lawyer, if your carné number is really required for the application of your wife and son. If yes, check if he/she has such good connections at the right unit in Migraciones to somehow speed up your application process, which officially isn’t possible, and get going with your application.

      In case you are on your own it might be a good investment to hire an immigration lawyer who knows what he is doing and who has the right connections (or at least talk to one, there might be another way I’m not aware of). Even though officially not possible, some lawyers are able to expedite the processing time of their clients applications or somehow apply for clients who don’t have all documents (usually you can “cheat” the application system when you don’t have a document required to upload, but in the DNI/carné field you must enter a number, so I fear it’s not possible).

      As you must be in Peru on a valid stay as a tourist, the other option is that your wife and son leave the country before their stay as a tourist expires and return. Personally, I would try to avoid this option, as there is always the risk that they are denied entry (which is rare, but not unheard of) or that the immigration officer they have to face upon their return only gives them 10 days or 30 days or whatever number of days he/she feels comfortable with. But they could as well get another 90 days, especially if they explain their situation and deal with an immigration officer who has a heart. However, it’s a gamble, as it’s always at the discretion of the immigration officer how many days you are given, there is no guarantee. And if Migraciones is super slow with processing your application, you wife and son might have the same problem with an expired stay as a tourist in a few months again.

      Whatever you do, make sure that your wife and son do not overstay. First, they can’t apply for their visa while being on an expired stay as a tourist, so must leave and return to become legal again and upon returning the immigration officers immediately see in the system that they overstayed before and might be less accommodating and flexible.

      I’m really sorry, I can’t recommend on easy fix for your situation and hope everything goes well.

      @Sunflower Thank you so much for this response! I have another question now. The department of labor changed their decision because the company hiring me has to hire one more employee before hiring a foreigner. They have hired the additional employee, but the accountant said that they told her that I need "Calidad Migratoria Habilitante" from migrations. I told her that the "Permiso Especial Para Firmar Contractos" Should be enough, but she is doubtful. Is there any official law or decree that states the Permiso Especial is sufficient? Thanks again for your time

      @Christopher Hello Christopher,

      I, of course, don’t know the complete context, but a “calidad migratoria habilitante” has nothing to do with the “permiso para firmar contratos”. I’m as well not sure what “they”, I assume someone at the Labor Ministry, mean by telling the accountant that you “need Calidad Migratoria Habilitante from migrations”. For what? So, they approve your work contract? The reason you need your work contract approved is so you can apply for one of the calidades migratorias habilitantes. I’m confused and think that either something is lost in translation or in Peruvian bureaucracy or you are talking past each other.

      Anyway, the permiso para firmar contratos allows foreigners who are in Peru as tourists or on a temporary visa to sign legally binding contracts, for example, as in your case, a work contract. That’s it.

      On the other hand, the Peruvian foreigner law Decreto Legislativo 1350 established different calidades migratorias habilitantes” (so, qualifying or enabling immigration statuses) which allow foreigners to live in Peru and carry out dependent or independent work activities. Among these calidades migratorias habilitantes are, for example, the calidad migratoria trabajador, or the calidad migratoria designado, or the calidad migratoria familiar residente …. So, residence visas allowing you to work in Peru.

      In your case you want to apply for a “cambio de calidad migratoria a trabjador residente”. For this you first need the permiso de firmar contratos to legally sign the work contract which then must be approved by the Labor Ministry. But only with the approved work contract, you don’t have the permission to live and work in Peru. After the approval you then have to apply for the correct residence visa, so for a “calidad migratoria habilitante”, in your case the work visa. I assume that this is what “they” wanted to point out.

      Christopher, I just checked the Decreto Supremo 002-2021-IN. And you are right, there you find in Artículo 88-B. Procedimiento administrativo de Cambio de Calidad Migratoria Trabajador Residente, under c) "En caso de trabajador, si el contrato ha sido firmado en el territorio nacional, el beneficiario debe encontrarse con la calidad migratoria habilitante o tener la autorización para suscribir documentos".

      So, in case of workers, if the contract has been signed in Peru, you must either already have the "enabling immigration status" or have the authorization to sign documents.

    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.

      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 ...

      @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.

      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.

Do you know if this has to be done within the days of my tourist visa? If not, am I able to leave peru (with a permiso de viaje less then 30 days) or do I have to do my biometricals before?

      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.

      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.

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.

    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?

      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?

      Greetings
      Eva

      @Sunflower Hi Eva! Thanks! I got through it! Now I have another question! I have submitted my application all right! Have received the code of my application. But I didn't get to save the login details for the electronic mailbox. Now I have requested these details through the form and they say they have sent it to me on my email address! But I have NEVER received anything! What can be a problem? How do I check if I didn't make a mistake in my email address (( ? SInce I only had very limited time for the questionnaire ... and is there a way to check this? I mean, what is my email address in the system? Thanks again! You are very helpfuL!

      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.

      Greetings
      Eva

      @Sunflower Yes, the code just comes to you at the screen. This code is used for bio geometry. The results of your scheduling the bio geometry also come out at the screen and you are supposed to download them. 
      Well, how do I contact Migraciones? Any good email for that? No the emails are not in my spam ! Thanks a lot!
