Can the holder change employer, work independently, establish a business or conduct other professional activity? What is the family position?

The holder cannot carry out lucrative activities on their own account in Peru nor receive Peruvian-source income; pay must come from the international company, with no dependency relationship with the Peruvian company. Sources conflict on family: the Regulation says temporary statuses are personal and cannot be extended to the family unit, while the Migration Law (Legislative Decree) says family of temporary-status holders with stays over 90 days are assigned the same status.

  • Conflict between Regulation and Decree on whether family can share temporary status.

Granted for 183 consecutive days, or periods adding up to 183 days within one year from first entry; an extension for the same period may be requested. To keep the status the holder must stay 183 days out of 365 in Peru. The official source does not state a longer-term residence path.
