Peru Family Reunification Visa
The Peru Family Reunification Visa corresponds to the “Familiar de Residente” migratory quality under Decreto Legislativo N° 1350 (Ley de Migraciones). It allows eligible family members — including children, parents, and other dependants defined by the regulation — of a Peruvian citizen or a foreign resident in Peru to obtain a residence status that lets them live in the country. This migratory quality is granted by the Superintendencia Nacional de Migraciones (MIGRACIONES) and allows a permanence of up to two years for family members of Peruvian citizens, or one year for family members of foreign residents, both renewable, and it also permits the holder to carry out subordinate or independent paid work. Depending on the applicant’s situation, the process may be started at a Peruvian Consular Office abroad or directly with MIGRACIONES once legally present in Peru. As with all Peru migratory qualities, the decision to grant Family Reunification status rests solely with the competent authority.
Eligibility
- Applicant is an eligible family member (spouse, child, parent, or other dependant recognised by the regulation) of a Peruvian citizen or a foreign resident in Peru
- The Peruvian or resident sponsor can document the family relationship
- Applicant holds a valid passport or travel document
- Applicant provides an apostilled or legalised police clearance certificate from their country of origin, with official translation if required
- Applicant provides an Interpol international exchange clearance (Ficha de Canje Internacional) valid within the last 6 months
- Applicant is able to complete the process in person, as it does not admit representation by proxy

Exchange rates fluctuate; the INR figure above is indicative only. This fee applies to the domestic application processed through MIGRACIONES; a consular application for family reunification requested from abroad may involve a different fee, which should be confirmed directly with the relevant Peruvian Consular Office. Information may vary depending on individual circumstances.
Processing Time
According to guidance on Peru’s migratory quality change procedures, an application submitted through the Agencia Virtual de Migraciones is generally resolved within up to 30 business days from a complete submission, though this period is suspended if MIGRACIONES requests additional documentation. Processing speed depends on verification of the sponsor’s status, the family relationship, and the completeness of apostilled or legalised supporting documents. Applicants are advised to begin gathering documentation, including the Interpol clearance certificate, well in advance, as this document has a limited validity period of 6 months.
