Summary
Peru's rentista resident status is for foreigners with a retirement pension or permanent income from Peru or abroad. It is one of Peru's clearest passive-income residence routes.
For foreign-source income, Peru asks for documents showing permanent monthly income and a sworn declaration that the money enters Peru through a supervised financial institution.
Eligibility
- Pension, retirement income, or other permanent recurring income.
- Foreign-source permanent income meeting Peru's stated monthly minimum.
- Clean police, criminal, and judicial record as required.
- Passport and standard immigration forms.
- For foreign income, evidence from the source country and declaration that funds enter through the banking system.
What This Route Allows
This route can allow you to live in Peru if you can support yourself through retirement income, passive income, savings, or other accepted funds. It is generally designed for people who will not rely on local employment.
What This Route Is Not
This is not a work visa. These routes usually focus on proving stable support from outside local employment and may restrict work in the country.
Next Steps
- Confirm your income is permanent enough for rentista status.
- Gather pension award letters, annuity documents, or permanent-income records.
- Prepare banking evidence and the required sworn declaration.
- Collect police/criminal/judicial record documents.
- File through the Migraciones online process from the appropriate status.
