Work Visa from Nigeria to Peru
- 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.
