Hi guys,
Has anyone done the carnet cancellation tramite recently? Looks like in the new TUPA the SUNAT clearance paper is not listed among the requirements any more. Do they still ask for it or is it just the updated carnet and the bank receipt?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

There is no right or wrong here. It's like the old song goes, "...there aint no good guy, there aint no bad guy. There's only you and me and we just disagree." Quite a way to look at things! Squatting is a crime, robbing somebody of a plot of land is a crime too... and here you go saying ...

After some ruined parties word goes out, and nobody wants to rent the place anymore for parties. Or, there's another alternative: one day you find your dog poisoned to death, your car hood dented or your garage door burned or damaged... And do you think the police or serenazgos will give a damn abo...

Probably, yes. But if your Spanish isn't fluent I suggest that your spouse accompany you. I guess they will allow her/him in.

Yes, no more written exam and interview. The tramite is personal and the Peruvian spouse doesn't have to accompany you through the process as before.

IMHO, the only cons of having a CE is having to renew it annually and looks like it's being dealt with now as the new law will make the process of renewal smoother for Familiares de Residentes (that will be your status if you decide to apply after all). Otherwise, the life with CE is much easier com...

However, if you have a Peruvian birth certificate ( So your mother registered you as a baby in a Peruvian consulate ) you are already a Peruvian ( by birth ) and in that case the only thing you have to do is get a Peruvian passport and/or DNI in the consulate. ( Maybe the DNI you only can get in Pe...

Mammamia have you done this before? I do not have a residency card for Peru which I think might be a problem No, I haven't. But if you are not a resident, I think you'll have to apply for carnet first, also as a child of a Peruvian parent (that will take a month or so) and after you obtain the stat...

If you were born outside Peru, here's the link to the official site of Migraciones: https://www.migraciones.gob.pe/index.php/nacionalizacion-de-hijos-peruanos-nacidos-en-el-extranjero-mayores-de-edad-2/ The process seems pretty straightforward and the wait is not long (about a month) since your natu...

When I looked recently, I found that rentistas are excluded from doing it online. Perhaps that will change. Yes, if I'm not mistaken, they list only religious workers and spouses of Peruvians on that online service. I'm interested in the latter and will definitely check it out in January instead of...

And apparently from next year, it is not necessary anymore to claim your exempt at the DIGEMIN office, but everything is supposed to be done on the DIGEMIN inet site.... The tramite has been on their Servicios en Linea site for almost a year now. I'm planning to try testing it in January. I wonder ...

Hello Gringo from UK, Thank you for your reply. Question: there is a date on the Declaration Jurada when the document is signed. If my Husband signs end of October 2015 then I will use this Declaration Jurada on April 2016 (my last Prorroga valid until 3 May 2016), is it still valid? Because other ...

Hello Mammamia, thank you for your reply. By any chance, do you know what will be the consequences when we are late to do Prorroga Residencial? Depends on how late you are: if it's a couple of months, only a fine, I suppose. If a year or longer, could be worse, you might be stripped of a residence ...

mammamia

Agree with your thinking, but I also don't forget that we're in Peru where things very often are working out differently. What is for sure however is that until the new TUPA 2016 will be issued, we are only speculating about the requirements. Yes, Peruvian state legislature is as unpredictable as t...

He'll need to sign the letter before the notary so that the latter can certify his signature. He should do it before he leaves, I'm not sure though how long this letter will be valid for, 3 months, I suppose.

If (…) the Residencia Permanente will require, for example, a certain minimum amount of monthly income, for example 3500,- Soles per month, several foreigners, including foreign spouses of Peruvian citizens, may not be able to fulfil this requirement and “fall into the trap”. I don't think they wil...

But now the law is more clear, and really LIMITS it to 183 days in any 365 period. Indeed, it sounds more clear now, especially, in the part where it mentions the inalienable right of an individual (a foreigner in this case) to re-unite with his Peruvian family. That right was not listed in the old...

Has she tried filing a complaint with the Ministerio de Trabajo? I know a business owner who's been having troubles for not paying his employee after the latter complained to the labor ministry.

Yes and yes to both you questions. In other news the Sol strengthened today by the largest amount I have ever seen in one day.

Can somebody please tell me if this can be done at the airport on the day of departure? or if I would need to go do this at the immigration department ahead of time?

I feel safer here in Peru than I ever did in the states. All right, you said it... i always keep cash, cards, and passport in a secret location so even though i lost everything i still had the most important things. the police refused to take a report. i went directly to the jude of the peace and h...

It's done in three steps:
1.- traslado de sellos
2.- cambio de datos
3.- duplicado de carne.

Three different tramites.

Sure, if you are a gringo who takes a lot of precautions (like me when I lived in Peru) you lower your risk a lot, I agree with that. Like I said before, Peruvians are easier targets because they usually aren't as careful and tend to live and work in more dangerous areas. Has crime gone down a lot ...

Funny enough, most of the guys who complain about the US embassy are those who worship Peru and all it stands for. I've been to the US consulate in Lima 5 times (visa issues) and have never been treated bad. And I'm neither American, nor Peruvian. So, maybe, it's time for you guys to give up your Am...

Thanks for the advice, I've been after my wife since Nov to get this done, but she move on jungle time. It took 6 months to go to RENIC and get her DNI changed. So I'm dealing with that as well. Are you sure you can start the CE application after you've stayed in the country for so long? When I app...

I finally found some links, but I also have some more questions. Your passport needs to be legalized. Okay not a problem, but how long does it take? They want your andean migration card, do they keep it? appears they also want a Interpol background check as well. Anybody out there that can shed som...

According to this memo from the migraciones you'll need to fill out one of these forms: Formulario N°1492, 1692, 1494, 1495, según corresponda.

when a comment was made about the possibility of Chile tainting the water or food to gain victory against Peru? how true could that be? No need for that.

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...

mammamia

It depends on where and for how long you are going to stay. Let's say outside Lima (provinces, maybe, except Cusco), $12-15K will be enough for a decent living of a family of two (rent, light bills, food, etc. included) given that none of you is working. If one or both of you have a job the amount w...

Jacqueson, sorry to hear about what have happened to you. Unfortunately, this situation isn't unusual. Things like this happen all the time. I believe the best thing for you to do would be to swallow your pride and come back to the Philippines. There's no place like home and your wounds will heal fa...

mammamia

There's no need to cancel your CE (I did that once, I mean I left on my CE without cancelling it and came back 7 months later and just re-applied for a new Carne with no questions asked) and if your residency is based on marriage to a Peruvian you don't need SUNAT papers either. But if you're sure y...

mammamia

That would be fine; when you cancel your CE do they give you a new tourist visa on the spot? I don't know if the 183-day that I got in April will still count. That's why you'd better go to DIGEMIN again, show them your last TAM and find out how you can change your status on the entrance stamp. The ...

mammamia

It might also be worth mentioning that I'm not planning on getting citizenship, and am even planning to leave Peru permanently (and give up my CE) in just 3 months anyway, and don't plan to come back for more than a week or two at a time after that. You should have started with this one. If you are...

I don't want to sell my house quite yet because it may be better for me to keep it earning income. Don't even think of selling your house!!!

mammamia

First of all, if you are planning to work in Peru it is the Peruvian company who is supposed to start the residence visa process by offering you a proper work contract. Only after signing this contract you'll be eligible for a CE. But I don't think it's worth the trouble if you are leaving Peru in a...

You'll have to fill out a new TAM when you're leaving and bring it back when you return.

As a spouse of a Peruvian citizen you'll need to have your travel passport, CE and a TAM which you'll fill out before passing through customs and passport control. That's all according to Migraciones' officials. Here's the link to the list of requirements on Migraciones official site: https://www.mi...

That's more like it because when I read posts of some of the "regulars" in this forum I'm starting to get the impression that Peru is the best and safest country in Latin America to live in.

None of the Peruvian banks deals with foreigners, well, at least in terms of accounts. Get your Carnet and then you are allowed to open an account at any bank. Does that sound better?

What ChiChi wrote in 2011 also applies for Peru in the year 2015. Expats are leaving Peru for precisely these reasons and a policy on foreigners that becomes, thanks to Humala´s nationalism, more and more hostile and discriminatory. Humala's "crowning achievement" is letting his moneygrub...
