OK, finally got through to Migraciones on the phone (after calling and confirming with Ministerio del Interior)! *Prorroga de Residencia*, and many other paperwork, has been shifted to the Miraflores branch. The *Miraflores* option is after *Tarapoto* when you are selecting on the online reservation...

I tried a different browser - same result. The online system only gives the choice of cities, not branches. If I am not wrong, only some procedures can be done at the MF branch, e.g. renewing your CE.

Hello all, I have been trying to book an appointment through the online system to pay for the *prorroga de residencia*, but every date and every time slot I choose for the entire month of October says that it is full. Has anyone tried to book an online appointment recently? Has it worked for you? I ...

agantuk

I had no idea they have stopped having that requirement. Their online system accepted my application till 2018!! Thanks for the confirmation and happy Migraciones abolished one more unnecessary paperwork.

agantuk

No, have tried different browsers, different computers - same result.

Called Migraciones just now and was told that Tasa Anual has been abolished. Is this true? :shock:

Hello all, has anyone tried to do the process of *Exoneración del Pago de la Tasa Anual de Extranjería* online (through: https://sel.migraciones.gob.pe/SEL/AccesoPublico) this year? I have been completing the process online for the last 3-4 years, but I have been unable to this year because the uplo...

I have been attending classes to obtain my driver's license. Today the instructor said foreigners are required to get a declaracion jurada from the Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones (MTC), submit two passport photos, etc - in short, extra stuff that is not required of Peruvians. I tried to ...

Just wanted to clarify because the instructions seems to have been removed from the Migraciones website. For the Familiar Residente category are only paying the S/. 25.60 fee and not the $50 fee. Normally the latter fee is not required for those married to Peruvians. This is still the case, right? G...

i just had to renew my passport and my embassy asked me to register this new passport with DIGEMIN. according to this official advisory *all foreigners are required to pay the requisite fees and get the immigration entry stamp affixed on the new passport BEFORE their departure from Peru*. has anyone...

agantuk

thanks huayruru for posting your experience. i also just returned from DIGEMIN after completing the Duplicado de Carnet process and it is exactly as huayruru described. the only comment i will add is that it is possible DIGEMIN would go back to the sticker system in 2016 because the new carnet has s...

agantuk

does anyone have an answer for huayruru's question? or, now that they are not giving stickers, we don't need to renew the carnet?

many thanks in advance....

i was travelling outside the country in november and my prorroga was due the same month. i could only get an online appointment for mid-december and i was told that leaving without an up-to-date carnet would make re-entering impossible (you will have to get a tourist visa and have to reapply for a n...

Did you install it wirelessly as a repeater or connect it to the LAN? the TL-PA2010 connects to your existing modem+router from claro/movistar via ethernet cable and plugs into the nearest power outlet. the TL-WPA271 plugs into any other power outlet in the house and creates a wireless network with...

does anyone know what kind of information is available to the general public about not-for-profit institutions in peru?

this information could either be available free on the web or be available upon making a request to the concerned government agency.

only difference from what it says on the website is that you don't have to pay the S/. 26.95.

i was as surprised as you are....i even went to INFORMES (near the entrance) to double-check before leaving...but they also said the same thing....

i hope you can get your money back...

holas,

due to my working hours, i am unable to go to DIGEMIN to pay the tasa and the prorroga. would it be possible for my spouse to pay the fees without the need for my presence? perhaps she needs a notarized letter from me?

any personal experiences?

gracias!

holas,

wondering if anyone has been successful in mounting their flat-panel on the wall with a contraption that allows vertical movement. i would like to move the TV up and down.

from my personal experience (i have a spousal visa), you do not need any letter from your wife (i left by myself)....just your CE and passport should be enough...i did have a completed F-1495 SUNAT form with me but airport immigration did not ask for it....

hope this helps...
