If you plan to immigrate to Peru and stay there, it is highly recommended to check the immigration laws in advance to handle all the bureaucratic procedures properly. There are several types of visas popular among the expats moving to Peru:
Expats usually stay in Lima, the capital of Peru, either in a rented apartment or in a private house. If you are planning to immigrate to Peru alone, the average rental price for a one-bedroom apartment will cost around €380 per month. When you are moving to Peru with your family, a three-bedroom apartment will cost you €700 per month.
If you decide to buy an apartment in Peru, you will also have to pay a transfer tax, registration fee, and real estate agent’s fee.
LIVING IN PERU
When immigrating to Peru, foreigners prefer to live in Lima. Despite being the capital of Peru, Lima offers affordable prices for accommodation and food, while the average monthly salary is €800-900. People relocating from the USA to Peru would be pleasantly surprised by affordable prices and an opportunity to save money.
Do you need to send documents urgently to Peru to help secure a place to stay before moving?
Lima is a popular hotspot among expats who immigrate to Peru because it offers many job opportunities. However, employers prioritise hiring locals to foreigners. Anyway, highly qualified professionals in the medical and legal fields are in demand. Professionals in mining, fishing, oil and gas industries would also find many job opportunities in Peru.
If you are moving to Peru with children, you need to take care of their education. The quality of education in Peru is one of the best among the Latin American countries. Children go to school starting from the age of 6 till 16 and then enrol in a college or university. There are two types of schools in Peru: public and private. While educational programs in public schools are in Spanish, those could be bilingual in international schools.
Healthcare system in Peru is divided into two categories: private and public. Most medical facilities are located in big cities and urban areas, but the quality of healthcare in Peru is not very high. That is why wealthy Peruvians and expats prefer private healthcare services and facilities. The pharmacy chain is also well-developed across the country, but the prices for medicines could be 2-3 times more expensive than in the USA and European countries.
You can drive in Peru with your local driving license up to 30 days, and after that, you need to obtain an International Driving Permit. The IDP is valid for one year. Then you can get a Peruvian driver’s license.
Using a car in Peru can be appropriate when you drive across the country. However, it is better to use the public transportation system, especially when you reside in Lima.
