Well, you can leave without canceling it. But getting a new one when you come back becomes a hassle. I would suggest do it right. There is a form that you can just tick a box and sign it saying you haven't been working and haven't had to pay any tax. Obviously, if your carnet is category ''worker'' ...

We also did the process but got refused first time as we didn't really know what to do and only filled in the forms... Second time around, it is also good to have family members in the UK write invitations, expressing their knowledge that they know of the upcoming trip and are welcoming your wife fr...

Horns, awful traffic, noise, pollution, crime, massive overpopulation... to name a few. However, you do have some nice things; the plaza de armas, museums, much cheaper goods, printing shops, Gamarra, etc etc... but would you go out at night further than a few blocks from the Plazas? Would your home...

You can get a paper saying your tax and everything is paid and up to date. That way you can leave the country no problems. If you come back within 6 months then your carnet is still valid. If not, then you simply start again and do the cancellation of the expired card as you start the process for th...

Full disclosure: I work at http://WWW.PERUDENTAL.COM with Dr Enrique Yuen where we offer 24/7 emergency dental care. In fact, with on-site 3D x-rays, you can be sure of a 100% accurate diagnosis first time and with 5 years experience using 3D CAD CAM technology for restorations, you can have a new c...

I have seen bog-standard ROOMS being offered at US$500 per month recently - totally absurd. Apartment rentals have been expensive for some time and seem to be going up a bit, which makes sense as buying gets harder and harder, a lot of people are turning to renting so demand goes up. I rent a room i...

Lloyd007

You won't get an apartment in Lima for $300 a month. Difficult to even get a room for that nowadays. That's the reality I'm afraid.

If you don't mind a dodgy area or downtown, then you could possibly do it.

An hour or therabouts.

Does anyone know where the mini vans leave from that cover the Lima - Canete route? I mean instead of taking Soyuz/Peru Bus? Anyone used them before?

I often give a sol or two, but I am more than happy to do it when I see that the person asking is actually doing something proactive to earn it. Last week, two young lads - early twenties - got on the same bus as me and did a brilliant musical item of guitar/banjo and singing... I mean, they'd put i...

Is there any decent theatre in Lima, I mean something you'd see in London or New York, big hits - The Lion King, Phantom of the Opera, stuff like that? Classics.

I will take the advice of an earlier thread and can say that I have been working with Dr Enrique Yuen and PeruDental for some years and can give this perspective on the clinic and treatments that we offer; - English speaking specialist dentists in cosmetic dentistry, restorative, surgical, digital r...

They work very efectively. Costs might vary... I don't remember exactly, it was a long time ago. They won't give you much info by email, you'll ned to go and make an appointment.

I know someone that had S/. 2000+ of debt on a credit card that he hadn't made a payment of for months... the bank called him and offered to 'wipe the slate clean' if he'd pay S/. 900 by the end of the month. He couldn't, so he didn't. But it was a good offer from BCP!

Excellent advice from Chi Chi.

Firstly, why are you getting married in the UK, only to return to Peru? Anyway, save yourself some hassle and a lot of paperwork and get married here, bringing your documents and stuff to Lima. You will need to get your residence in Peru so you can legally sign contracts, open a bank account and do ...

You need to be careful and know all the facts. If your peruvian spouse has ''Causal'' and therefore can start legal proceedings against you (because she/he has proof you cheated or many other reasons), then they can block your exit from Peru by doing a tramite at Migraciones... but only once the leg...

ah, man! Three tramites... it makes sense but what a pain in the ass. And I suppose it is all ''personal'' so I can't just send someone to do it for me with a carta de poder, right?

You should try that market, look around and ask too.

Strolling the big Magdalena market you will find sardines. Little tins and big tins. And I agree, they are great. Some are in oil and other in tomato juice...

At the front door of my place of work, a very 'pituca' opened the door to enter, looked behind her to see if anyone was coming (I was thinking she might wait 1.5 seconds for me to also get to the door, holding it open just a fraction of a moment), saw me and just let it swing close again.

Of course, your best option is sending it with someone that is travelling to the UK as it is safer, faster and much cheaper! Not always an option, but just a thought.

Serpost from Lima is your only option for regular post. DHL, FedEx etc can be used if you can cover their fees. Sending with Serpost, send it ''Certificado'' as it is more guaranteed to arrive and not get 'lost' on it's way. There is a big Serpost office in Miraflores on Av. Petit Thouars, one block...

Clearly, she is a nut case. However, the law in Peru favours women. If she did indeed do a denuncia against your boyfriend, he will likely have to go and respond at the police station to defend himself against that denuncia.

Domino's is the worse pizza I ever had. I would never waste another centimo at that place.

Subways though is always great but I am surprised it is the same price as the UK and there are never any vouchers or offers (apart from the sub of the day).
