Investor Visa (Inversionista)

Residence visa for foreigners investing in Peruvian businesses. The basic threshold requires a minimum investment of $30,000 USD in an existing or newly formed Peruvian company. A higher-tier option requires 500,000 PEN (~$130,000 USD) with creation of at least 5 local jobs and a certified business plan. Valid for 1 year, renewable annually while investment is maintained. After 2 years of continuous residency, eligible to apply for citizenship. The investor visa does NOT grant work rights - you can own/manage the business but cannot be formally employed. Must remain in Peru at least 183 days annually.
