Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

Yes: an employment contract, administrative relationship or service contract is indispensable; the contract must be current, issued within 30 calendar days, approved by the labour authority (save legal exceptions) and state the work period; the contracting entity must be active and "habido" with SUNAT; its legal representative must file a sworn statement.

What are the few decisive professional characteristics of the pathway: occupation, qualifications, experience, salary, skill level, shortage status, labour-market condition or equivalent?

The decisive feature is a labour-authority-approved contract (employment, administrative or service) with a SUNAT-registered active entity; it covers dependent or independent work in any regime, and intra-group transferees as senior management, trusted staff or specialists.

Limits of the record
  • No occupation list, salary threshold or labour-market test stated.

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

Allows work in the public and private sectors under the contract. Intra-group transferees may sign contracts or transactions but not carry out remunerated activity personally or for companies other than the contracting one. 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.

Limits of the record
  • Conflict between Regulation and Decree on whether family can share temporary status.

How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

The status is granted for 183 consecutive days, or periods adding up to 183 days within one year from first entry, with multiple entries; an extension for the same period may be requested. The official source does not state a longer-term residence direction.

Limits of the record
  • No longer-term residence pathway stated for the temporary status.
