Decreto Legislativo 1350, article 29.2.n, as restated by Decreto Legislativo 1582, makes this a residence quality with an indefinite stay. The current TUPA procedure says the same and says the grant is not renewable. It is not the separate calidad migratoria permanente, which rentista holders cannot request. The US$1,000 floor applies to a foreign pension or foreign rent. A pension or rent from Peru must be proved, and no minimum is published. The annual figures are twelve times the monthly foreign-source test. There is no savings alternative. The Migraciones fee for a first application from abroad is S/ 58.80, payment code 07567. A family member files a separate familiar-de-residente application at the same S/ 58.80. Someone already in Peru pays S/ 161.40, code 07568, to change into this quality. After entry, the carné de extranjería is a further S/ 24.00. The stored dollar fees use SUNAT's 9 October 2026 sale rate of S/ 3.453 per US dollar. An absence of more than 183 consecutive days in a 365-day period can cancel the quality, unless Migraciones authorizes a longer stay. Naturalization is a separate procedure. Under the nationality law still in force it requires two consecutive years of legal residence. Law 32421, which would lengthen that period, is not in force. A person who stays in Peru more than 183 days in any 12-month period becomes tax-domiciled from the following tax year and is then taxed on worldwide income, including foreign capital gains. The visa does not create an exemption.
