Planning a move to Peru. Where to begin.

Where the visa stands

Peru’s immigration authority announced a digital nomad category in 2023. This review did not verify a current government application checklist and income requirement for using it.

Start with your work plans

Do not turn the announcement into a claim that applications are open. Ask Migraciones for the operative procedure. Peru separately lists resident rentista permission for qualifying pension income.

Describe who pays you, where your employer or clients are based and what you would do while living abroad. Use those details when checking the official route. Employer approval and immigration permission are separate questions.

Employer approval and immigration permission are separate questions.

Take the first application step

Ask Migraciones whether the digital nomad category can currently be applied for and request the official procedure number and checklist.

An announced category is not the same as an available application. No speculative nomad fee, income amount or processing time is shown.

Keep two money questions separate

The visa income test concerns the evidence required for an application. A living budget concerns your housing, healthcare, transport and daily spending. Compare both before committing to a move.

This briefing reorganizes the existing visa summary. It does not represent a new source review. The visa section of the guide keeps the original review dates and qualifications.
