Are you a foreign professional planning to work in Peru? To do so legally, you need a Peru Work Visa (also called the Peru Work Permit or visa de trabajo). This visa allows you to live and work in the country with a valid employment contract registered by a Peruvian company.
At DR DOCUMENTS, we help foreign professionals and companies complete the full process — contracts, apostilles, certified translations, Migraciones filings, and issuance of the Carnet de Extranjería.
The Peru Work Visa is a residence permit that grants foreigners the legal right to work for a Peruvian employer.
Foreigners hired by Peruvian companies.
Expats who will live in Peru under a labor contract.
Professionals relocating to Peru for long-term assignments.
Temporary Work Visa: For short-term contracts, projects, or assignments.
Resident Work Visa: For longer contracts or permanent positions, renewable annually.
To apply for the Peru Work Visa, both the applicant and the employer must provide documents.
