What is the best way to get permanent residency in Peru (aside from marriage)
Hi, I am have been researching naturalization in order to get a second passport in Peru. It seems that it is pretty straight forward, you can apply after 2 years of permanent residency. But, it is a little more hazy how one can get PR without marrying? I was looking at the rentista (pensioner) visa, which seems to just require proof of $1000 of passive income? It seems a little unspecific about what constitutes "proof. " But a rentista visa is a "non-working" visa? Would a rentista visa, student visa, etc all allow for a 2-year residency that would qualify one for citizenship? Does anyone here have actual experience with this, possibly know a local lawyer who can get it done? If the scuttlebutt I have seen is true then it sounds incredibly cheap, fast, and easy compared to other countries out there. Thanks!
Prepaid cards are different now
[QUOTE=Guerinto;2016490]In 2015, all I had to do was show up at the Claro on Avenida Jose Larco, bring my unlocked phone and my passport. You get in one line, then another and you get a chip and a number there. I believe I also bought some data on the spot and after that you top up a Metro, among other places. Was pretty quick and simple for me, but then I brought a local with me just in case. I have basic Spanish.
Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]That has changed now. Foreigners can rent a sim card at the airport for $10 usd and $6 usd a day. If you want a prepaid only a local can do that with an ID and fingerprint.
