EXPATPERU

The Dutch embassy posted a message on their FB page regarding BCP atm transactions: Dutch expats and Dutch tourists in Peru CAUTION Due to technical changes in the computer system of the Peruvian bank, Banco de Crédito del Perú (BCP), the Dutch bank card is only available once a month for a maximum...

I have a question about the 2 years of residence. I lived in Peru 1987-1989 but only for 22 months. I had a CE. I married a Peruvian who I met while I was there but due to Sendero declaring war on foreign religious and NGO workers, we returned to my country Australia and were married there. Our mar...

Dear All, I have read on other forums and on the migration website that anyone living for two years can apply for peru citizenship. What would be the best way of doing it. Is it possible to get naturalized and obtain a peru citizenship after living for two years in peru and learning spanish etc. I ...

Danny55

A quick but important update on this. 1) The Online system for the appointment is flexible enough. 2) IF YOU ARE MARRIED TO A PERUVIAN AND YOU ARE DOING THE PRORROGA FAMILIAR - YOU DO NOT NEED TO PAY THE $50 , ONLY THE 25.6 SOLES. EVEN THOUGH THE MIGRACIONES WEBSITE TELLS YOU THAT YOU NEED TO PAY TH...

Danny55

Thanks - I guess I was trying to get a feel for how far out I need to get the appointment. I am only having to consider this because my Citizenship tramite is taking forever despite being in the final stage. Ideally I will get granted citizenship before my prorroga is due - but it is starting to get...

Hi

Has anybody recently booked their appointment online to do the tramite 'Prórroga de Residencia'?
How long from making the appointment online until you can get the appointment?

Thanks
Dan

I just realised that on the F-007 form there is an option to make the request that you can be outside of the country for more than 183 days and maintain residency.

Hope this helps

I have spoken to my lawyer about this in the past - there were a few things he mentioned, but the key point seemed to be : If your company is set up in Peru and that is it's base for business then you should be able to do this. Also - you can get authorisation for family or medical emergencies. Che...

Danny55

My understanding is that the only way for an expat to retain their Peruvian residency while being absent from the country more than six months out of the year is if they are granted an Authorization of Absence by immigration. The only way I have heard of this happening is if a private Peruvian comp...

Danny55

Sometimes it really does seem like an exaggeration, but I suppose the money changers fear that they won't be able to pass them down the line, so they take a firm stand. On the other hand, Soles can be ripped, with up to 50% of the bill missing, and Peruvian financial institutions are obliged by law...

Danny55

When I did it 5 years ago, the trick seemed to be to get some personal phonenumbers of the secretary or the one who is overlooking the paperwork, so you can call them on their cellular once in a while to check on your paperwork, instead of going there in person. I hired a lawyer basically for this ...

Danny55

[quote="jimuazu" You will indeed be free ... free of the paperwork and bureaucracy of being a resident once you've got all the way through to the other side![/quote] Exactly! This is one of the driving factors among others :) Well thankfully for this married to Peruvians that test is no lo...

Danny55

Tony Thank you for the details - sorry to hear that you have had so many issues. I will let you know how I get on... for those of us married to Peruvians it really should not be a huge hassle - but we are in red tape city :( I spent a lot of time - or more like it feels like I have wasted a lot of t...

Hi

Are you selling just the mattress or the whole bed? It looks like there is a pull out bed below?
What price are you asking and where in Lima?

Thanks
Dan

Danny55

I am going through the Citizenship by marriage at the moment. I will give update details when I have finished the ordeal, but I can tell you there is no tests for citizenship through marriage. You have to go through Interpol again, but that is no different than when you did the same for your carnet...

I live in La Molina, I travel to Miraflores quite often, there are many tourist but I do not know how big the expat community is up there. I'll explore a little deeper. Thanx :D there are lots of expats in La Molina. get out and take a walk around the area. am sure you will find an expat. go to the...

Danny55

I would say that there will be no need to worry about your TAE if you have only just got your CE. BUT, check the status on the DIGIMEN website : https://sel.migraciones.gob.pe/servmig-valreg/VerificarCE If it says TAE is Vigente you will have no problems. You will need to fill out an TAM form and ke...

If it is that urgent why not just DHL it?
Sure it costs, but you will get quickly.

Danny55

Does anyone know the current cost in soles of a safe taxi from the airport to Barranco? Our hotel has offered to pick us up, but they will charge us $25 US which seems high. According to Satellite it costs 55 soles. I would guess with EasyTaxi the fare will be similar. http://aplicacionesautotaxi.c...

The other option if he wants something with a curriculum is www.udemy.com

There are plenty of free courses and then there are plenty of offers so you can get q course for $10 say.

Danny55

Thank you both for your replies. I am going ship a crib and mattress and bring a booster seat checked baggage. Take a chance on everything else. Dan - you say the car seat belt fix can be done - is this with one of the those locking gadgets or some other manual way. Just trying to decide if we need...

Danny55

Hi, we are moving to Trujillo in March and we have small children, so we need to think about what to bring, what we can get when we arrive.... Is it fairly easy to buy baby items like cribs, high chairs, booster seats in Trujillo or Lima? Are there any second hand sale forums? Also, does anyone hav...

Danny55

Here is a starting point for you http://www.limaparapequenos.com

There are a number of play centres lima Wannabe / smallplace / LaPlacita / City Toys which would be fine for the 6 year old but I suspect would not be of that much interest to the 9 year old.

Danny55

Here is the link https://www.migraciones.gob.pe/index.php/tramite-de-la-tasa-anual-de-extranjeria-2016-podra-realizarse-via-internet-2/ The exonerations allows those married to locals to not even have to pay the $20. But to avoid a trip to Breña is worth paying $20 so I may not look to hard even. he...

Danny55

Not sure when this went into effect or indeed if it's already common knowledge, but I went to DIGEMIN today to do my TAE exoneracion and prorroga as a foreigner married to a Peruvian. I can confirm that at no stage was I required to present either a partida de matrimonio or a declaracion jurada. Th...

Danny55

For important stuff like passport applications I just take the hit and pay to DHL it. Sure it costs about 300 soles but at least it gets there.

Danny55

Jimmy

Thanks so much for the links, those very helpful.

Do you know if there is a minimum requirement to show the 'Documentos que acrediten el ingreso familiar'?

Dan

Danny55

For criollo food try the Rustica, I like the one on the costa verde, nice sea views.

Danny55

Yes , i am married to a Peruvian also . My Spanish is not that good , so after studying for over 1 month for the exam , they told me that it was cancelled . ¡Viva la Patri!, ¡Viva la Libertad!, ¡Viva la Independencia! . I received my certificado nacionizacion today . That is great news - congratula...

Danny55

So far no one has addressed the "permiso para viajar" once in CE status. I believe there was another forum member who like me, travels back and forth but we both want to eventually obtain citizenship. I, personally am married to a Peruvian and will be going through the CE process in Augus...

Danny55

My wife will stay airside with the kids while I go alone to collect and checked our bags onto our connecting flight. Just a thought - how will your wife and kids checkin for the Are Lingus flight? Is it online, and do you need to present identification documentation at Madrid so that they confirm t...

Danny55

I had a similiar problem this year with Lan / Iberia. We took a flight from France to Madrid to Lima - could not check in for the Madrid even though it was Iberia + Lan. In Madrid we had to leave the security zone and go to the baggage check in just to get the tickets. I could not select any seats o...

Danny55

I believe I paid the 24.50 before taking the test.

There are plenty of videos on youtube if you want to memorise the circuit / routes.

Danny55

I thought the payment was 24.50. There may have been two payments - as I say it was last year and the exact payments I forget. Depósito original del Banco de la Nación Cta. 01600 por el importe de S/. 24.50 (Derecho de Emisión de Licencia de Conducir). Tributo al MTC. http://www.touringperu.com.pe/c...

Danny55

Rob, You can hire cars there for 30 soles - the whole process is actually well organised for renting the cars. Regarding payments - I think you will find that the cost for the written test also covers the practical test. I did mine last year so my memory is a little fuzzy. One thing - take foots for...

Danny55

Hey Adrian, Do you mind me asking which visa you applied for? There are two which seem suitable, the general visitor visa and the family visitor visa. The problem with the latter is they look for the husband to be a UK resident (clearly not the case as I am resident here in Peru) Several times my wi...

Danny55

ok...wow....so no anchor baby laws here....would anyone care to list any South American countries that do? Colombia. If you have a child with a Colombian you are eligible for residency. This is a smart move as it makes it easier for the non-Colombian to stay in country and ultimately support the ch...

Danny55

Personally I would check out the deals before signing up for a store credit. Note - from memory you will need another credit card in Peru to be able to be eligible for one of these store cards.

Danny55

Here is a thought. If you have a CMR card (Saga / Tottus) or a Ripley card then you can take advantage of the specials they offer for card holders. You can actually pay off the card at the check out. If you don't have one then maybe you have a friend that does, you can simply give them the cash to c...

Danny55

It's not the easiest of processes, so are you sure you're eligible for a carnet? The most common reason to get one is when you marry a Peruvian. You might be putting yourself to a lot of trouble for nothing. I am with Sergio on this one. A quick question so we can help you : Under what basis are yo...

Danny55

Why not new furniture? You do not need to pay the department store prices. You could try Plaza Hogar which is situated on Angamos between Miraflores and Surquillo, not too far from the Open Plaza. Or if you are looking to buy a bunch of stuff at the same time - go to Villa El Salvador - which is whe...

Danny55

When I had a prepared Claro SIM and visited the US it did not work.

Not sure about your other question.

Danny55

Not sure it meets your specification - but the Radisson Hotel has a roof bar. It is located in Miraflores. It was a pretty decent vibe when I went, but that was a year or two ago.

Danny55

Another option is trying something like conversation exchange out: http://www.conversationexchange.com
You help someone with your language and they do the same for you.

Danny55

I happened to be in the Jockey at the time, hence the selection. El Hornero is good, like you rightly say you only get what you pay for. I find Rodizio pretty reasonable, but the best one by far in in Aviacion, the one in La Molina is only so so. As Adrian says the trip tot he Jockey is pretty quick...

Danny55

For some unknown reason we tried out Longhorn in the Jockey this weekend. The service was not awesome, but also it is was not bad considering we are in Peru. However the meat was a disgrace, an overcooked piece of fatty grizzly leather which they attempt to pass as Bife de Chorizo. The fries came ou...

My wife and I can very easily enter both Spain and the UK on a visitors visa, but onward travel from Spain to the UK is a problem, because the Schengen is not valid to enter the UK. If my wife, who has no language barriers obtained the visa and followed up with full residency, is it possible to tra...
