If you want to work in Peru you will need a special visa called “el Carné de extranjeria” which could be translated as “Foreign Resident ID Card”. With the “Carné de extranjeria” you are allowed to work in Peru and you don’t have a limit on the number of days you can stay. However you will need to pay $20 a year and an initial fee of $200. Other than being married to a Peruvian or having Peruvian family, to apply for the Carné de extranjeria you will need to have a contract with a company that wants to hire you. The contract must be for a year minimum. Unfortunately it is more complicated for companies to hire a foreigner than to hire a Peruvian and they are only allowed to hire a certain amount of foreigners to their company. An initial application fee of $49.90 applies to this visa. The process of applying for the Carné de extranjeria can be a bit complicated and the procedure is not always the same for everyone. So, make sure that you ask about the details of the procedure at the immigration office. Not all officials speak English, so if you aren’t fluent in Spanish make sure you bring someone who can translate for you. Peru has no special visa for volunteers. Travelers planning to volunteer in Peru will enter the country on a tourist visa and are allowed to volunteer (without payment) at a charitable organization or institution for a maximum of 183 days.

People going to Peru to study will need a student visa. Students wanting to intern (without payment) at a Peruvian company also have to apply for a student visa. Note that the Peruvian educational institution or training facility has to be recognized by the Peruvian Ministry of Education or the National Assembly of University Rectors. In some cases "short-term" students and participants of study abroad programs don't have to apply for a student visa. You should contact the nearest Peruvian consulate to check if this exception applies to you. While Peruvian Consulates in the US still issue student visa for three-month stays (which can be extended once you entered Peru), Peruvian Diplomatic Missions in other countries don't issue Student Visa anymore. Students or interns have to enter Peru on a tourist visa and then change their immigration status at Peru's immigration office. Students need to present an enrollment certification issued by a recognized educational institution. Interns will present an official letter from the foreign university or higher education institution, legalized by the Peruvian Consulate (or stamped with an Apostille) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Proof of sufficient financial resources to fund your studies or internship in Peru is also required.
