Gob.pe lists rentista residente: applicant must be outside Peru, have no police/criminal/judicial records, and receive a retirement pension or permanent income from Peruvian or foreign source.
Requires application form, passport, background documents; foreign-source income proof and sworn declaration of transfer through SBS-supervised bank/financial entity.
Foreign-source permanent net income minimum USD 1,000/month.
Peru's rentista route is for a pension or permanent income, not simply a temporary savings balance or ordinary freelance income. The authority decides whether the status is temporary or resident under the current rules and evidence.
The official Migraciones guidance describes the route as an online resident-visa process for foreigners with a pension or permanent income from Peru or abroad. Confirm the current minimum income and transfer-proof requirements before applying.
Rentista is passive-income residence, not a work category.
