After being in Peru for 5+ years now, my CE card is about to expire. According to Migraciones I need to apply for a new card (pay 49 Soles) and then apply for a residency extension with my new card. The migraciones office is still closed in Tarapoto (we only came out of lockdown 1 Sep). Migraciones ...

Travel in/out of the lockdown states without a special permission is not permitted. If you do not have an urgent reason to go to Huanuco than I suggest you postpone until the lockdown has been lifted.

Quick heads-up for people departing with an international flight (most leave at night). The time it takes you to get through immigration and customs on week days is 45 to 90 minutes. Apparently it takes even longer during weekends.

You'll need a customs agent to clear your container + organize offloading + transport to the port warehouse. They can probably also assist you with transferring the load into a truck or transport the container to your house for offloading. I check with our shipping agent, IFS but they cannot do. The...

Peru is definitely not a top coffee producer in the World. Peru producers approx 200,000 mt of green beans annually which does not even get it a place in the top 10 of bean producers.
