Peru Digital Nomad Visa

Official-source review: September 24, 2026. General guidance; use the current procedure for your circumstances.

What the law actually says

Decreto Legislativo 1582 created the category for a remote employment relationship formed abroad with a foreign-domiciled company. Its scope excludes activity generating Peruvian-source income. The enacted duration is up to 365 days, extendable; a one- or two-year estimate based on neighboring countries is unnecessary.

The text describes subordinate employment. It should not be broadened into a promise that every freelancer or overseas client arrangement qualifies.

What remains unverified

Migraciones’ launch announcement of November 20, 2023 says issuance depends on implementing provisions and a procedure in its administrative schedule, the TUPA.

As of this review, we did not locate an active application route, final document checklist, fee or operational income threshold in the official service catalogue. This is a verification limit, not a promised launch date. Obtain current official confirmation before relying on this category for a move.

Planning a stay meanwhile

Review an existing residence category only if your actual circumstances qualify. Rentista concerns qualifying pensions or permanent income, while the worker route has its own contractual requirements. Neither should be described as an automatic substitute.

For tourism, check Migraciones’ visitor guidance and your authorized stay. For tax questions, seek an assessment of the work performed, income source and presence in Peru; this page offers no tax-exemption assurance.
