Our Process

How to Apply for a Peru Visa

From first consultation to Carnet de Extranjería in hand — here's exactly how the process works, step by step.

First confirm whether you need an outside-Peru visa application or an in-country change of status. Your nationality, current authorized stay and category matter. Preparing documents or contacting us does not extend your stay. Government decision periods are not guaranteed approval dates. Review the official procedures.

01

Free Consultation

Timing varies

We review your situation — income sources, family ties, investment capacity — and recommend the best visa path. This is free and takes about 30 minutes via email or video call.

02

Document Roadmap

Timing varies

You receive a personalized checklist of every document you need, with instructions for apostilles, translations, and notarizations. We tell you exactly what to get and where.

03

Application Preparation

Timing varies

Once your documents are gathered, our Peru team reviews everything, prepares the Migraciones application forms, and checks the package against the applicable official requirements before submission.

04

Submission to Migraciones

Timing varies

Use the applicable Agencia Digital or consular procedure. Assistance with submission, official notifications and biometrics depends on your agreed service scope. Keep access to your own official inbox.

05

Decision and Resident ID

Timing varies

Upon approval, you receive your residency visa and Carnet de Extranjería (your Peruvian ID card). We guide you through next steps: SUNAT registration, bank accounts, and settling in.
