G'day Woodchuck, I am with Scotiabank Peru for 3 months now. So I will tell you that they ALSO charge to receive international transfers. Their standard charge is $24.00 for any amount. I have heavily debated that with them, as it comes out of my transferred Aussie navy pension( by the Aussie gover...

Hold on. I think changes are under way. Ordered an item from Australia with a projected delivery on three weeks (Ha Ha) Lo and behold the package tracked as landed in Peru and passed to La Victoria in seven days. I expected a further month in the Vic. sorting office. I was wrong, parcel delivered b...

Sounds ominous, you can foresee a collapse coming?

Good luck.

This literally just happened to me today as well. This must be a brand new policy. My girlfriend is a Peruvian citizen and we asked the consulate in DC no more than two or three weeks ago about tourist visas. They told us it was six months per year. Migraciones told us today that it’s now only 3 mo...

What exactly does it deal with? Sounds to me like the right hand still does not know what the left is doing. Same policy that has been intact for years.

Youtube now that is a reliable source.

A litany of things really complicate traffic here, beyond careless driving habits. The roads are very crowded, there are a ton of jay walking pedestrians, and there are multiple forms of vehicles moving at different speeds: slow trucks piled high with rubble, moto taxis, empowered 4x4s, dueling bus...

Isn't that what this forum does?

Don't ya think Canadian Federal Employees or those out of the country less than 5 years might want to know how to vote? Just saying.
Anyway thanks I was wondering how to vote it is an important election coming up we must ratify the Trump agenda.
cheers

That's great Alan, thanks. Any insight on how a Brit might vote in their elections? Aussies? Canadian?

Besides being ignorant of Spanish, can you legally work in Peru? You need a CE or citizenship.
Are your skills on par with Peruvian standards?
Good luck and I hope you carry a spare battery for the cell phone translator machine.

Back in the day. Before, at Naturalisation and since, because of English documents. Everything has my middle christian name as the maternal. In fact it is very common for people to address me as Mr David. It does no harm and might be worth bearing this approach in mind. Problem with that, her middl...

Hello Lialia, I have always thought that the spanish-system for naming a person with the 2 last name one from the father and one from mother is far way better than the one last name's father as in the english-system . The Mother is who suffer more for having the baby and do not even have the right ...

Make sure you can keep an them while in transit, I hear kitties are quite the delicacy in the hinterlands of Peru.

I am a Canadian female married to a Peruvian male. We got married in Canada, and I changed my last name to my husband's. Subsequently, we moved to Peru, and on my CE I have only one apellido, which is the same as my husband's apellido paterno. We are going to have a baby (to be born in Peru), and I...

Will you serve hot toddies ummmmm they just make my toes curl.

Got me wondering why someone is reluctant or find a way around a criminal check.

Thanks dude but I need no preaching to. I never started a a thread and said "Hello JumpingJack , This thread is a clear warning "

How so? What do you mean?

Uhhh I dunno, maybe, to quote you, " This thread is a clear warning"

Oops, see correction above.

Kind of a 'clear and present danger', eh?

That has been previously covered;

Seems a little dated. Did you even notice the posting date? 4 years ago dude, got anything more recent?

I visited Huaral, nice place but there is a total lack of decent food only the Peruvian, hmm, shall we say, fare(??), has that changed? Maybe a nice burger some place, like Macs? The Metro was so small like a 7 11 with no variety. At least there was Pepsi.

Off the top of my head what difference does it matter where you are at? I would think both are required. Where did you get your motor bike? Didn't they advise you?

We have the same thing with transfers from the USA. it has to do with the fact that the banks use 'intermediate banks' which also charge a commission. In total the commission is like 81-89 usd. But on transfers of 6-9 thousand it is percentage wise a low cost compared to charging a credit card, whi...

I have quite an interesting situation at present with BCP. At the beginning of this month I transferred $2,500 from my British account to BCP here in Lima. I became a little confused when $2416 was shown as deposited followed with only an entry for tax. I contacted the bank who quite firmly informe...

Define "Folk Guitarist/music". I am assuming Peruvian folk but the guitar is not very prominent, many other 'folk' instruments will be needed. Unless you consider Peruvian Folk is beating on boxes, that is all you need, boxes and guys that beat them.
