About once a month I get an email from someone asking me how in the world they can get residency in Peru. Usually its due to the fact that a significant other in Peru, but they dont want to or arent able to get married.
One tip to remember is that speaking Spanish will help you greatly. Youll be treated differently than if you speak English all the time, itll help you assimilate to the culture, and youll be able to communicate easier.
The good news is that after three years of residency you can apply for inmigrante status (permanent residency) or become a Peruvian citizen.
Here are some other alternatives to residency besides getting married.
- Get a work visa. If you can score an expat package, all the better.
- Start your own business. Itll get you a visa. Youll need $30,000 and theres a lot of paperwork involved.
- Get a student visa. You will be able to work part-time as well. married.
- Get a retirement visa. Youll have to prove a steady source of income, not from a job. (ex, government retirement scheme, private retirement scheme, etc.)
- Get a family visa. If you have children that were born in Peru, they can become Peruvian citizens. If your kids are Peruvian, you might be able to get a visa through them. Get a lawyer. Ive heard its possible, but dont know anyone who has done it.
