What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

Covers correspondent work for foreign media. Temporary statuses do not allow generating Peruvian-source income. 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.
