Investor (Inversionista)

Overview

This is Peru's investor category (Inversionista), for foreign nationals who enter to establish, develop or administer one or more lawful investments under Peruvian law - typically by forming or investing in a Peruvian company. You evidence a qualifying capital investment and the lawful origin of the funds. It is granted by the Superintendencia Nacional de Migraciones under Legislative Decree 1350, usually by changing your migration category online through the agencia digital. The stay is commonly granted for 365 days and is renewable while the investment is maintained, and the time counts toward permanent residence after three consecutive years.
