A good fit if

You can invest from PEN500,000 (≈$149,000) in a new or existing Peruvian company.
You have an approved business plan for the investment.
You can transfer funds by international bank transfer in a single payment.
Your project is in a priority sector (energy, mining, infrastructure) — expedited review.

A poor fit if

You are counting on the widely cited "from $25,000" figure — that threshold no longer applies; the current amount is almost 6x higher.
You plan to transfer funds in instalments or as cash — an international transfer in a single payment is required.
You lack an approved business plan — simple share ownership without a plan is insufficient.
You need a direct link to the official migration service text — gob.pe/migraciones returned a 418 error on direct fetch as of the checked date; this page’s source is secondary.

Frequent questions

Why do many sites still say "from $25,000"?

That figure applied to the previous, lower threshold — per the available data it was raised to PEN500,000 (≈$149,000) for 2026, but the old figure continues to appear on aggregators that haven’t updated.

Can the investment be made in instalments?

Per the available data, an international bank transfer in a SINGLE payment is required, not in instalments — confirm the exact procedure with the appointed firm.

What counts as a "priority sector" for expedited review?

Per the available data, priority sectors include energy, mining, and infrastructure — projects in these sectors are reviewed faster than others.

How many renewals are needed before PR?

Per the available data, initial status is granted for 1 year with annual renewal; the exact number of renewals before transitioning to PR is not specified on this page — verify with the migration service.

Why is there no direct link to Peru’s official migration service site?

The official site (formerly migraciones.gob.pe, now gob.pe/migraciones) returned a 418 "I'm a Teapot" error on direct fetch as of the checked date — this page’s source is secondary, the figure confirmed by convergence of several independent sites.

Does this visa lead to Peruvian citizenship?

No — this page covers a 1-year temporary status with a subsequent transition to PR, not citizenship.
