Investment note (Sept 2026)Published

≈ USD 140,000 at ~3.55 PEN/USD (competitor list said USD 135,000 at an older rate). gob.pe refers to 'the amount set by migration rules'; S/ 500,000 per law firms. Some firms say renewal also needs an active business and about 5 Peruvian hires; the current gob.pe requirements list no hiring quota. Investor may work only as manager or director of the company.

Plan B note (Sept 2026)Published

Away-limit only: no minimum days in Peru, but more than 183 consecutive days abroad cancels the status (permanent residents: 365). The competitor '183-day stay' claim was not confirmed by a primary source. Permanent residence after 3 years; naturalization after 2 consecutive years of legal residence.
