Does Peru have a digital nomad visa?
No — Peru does not run a dedicated digital-nomad visa. Long-term stays generally go through a retirement or passive-income route, and the route is a moderate lift for a typical non-citizen mover (a monthly income floor of roughly $1,000).
The detail that matters: Rentista $1,000/mo grants PR. DNV announced 2023 but not implemented. Citizenship 2y. Worldwide once tax-resident.
Tax for foreign residents in Peru
For a foreign earner, Peru's income is treated moderately. The country taxes residents on worldwide income once you cross the residency threshold, with a headline top personal rate around 30%. This is general information, not tax advice — confirm your own situation with a cross-border professional before you move.
From visa to permanent residency
If you're thinking past a year or two, check whether the stay builds toward settlement: in Peru, permanent residency is reachable after about 3 years of residence. Naturalization typically comes after roughly 2 years. Immigration rules change often, so treat these as directional and verify the current policy with official sources.
Healthcare and insurance
Healthcare access for a foreigner in Peru is reasonably accessible. A mid-tier private health plan runs roughly $80 a month — most long-stay visas require proof of cover.
