Official Information

Overview

Short-term employment visa for foreign workers with contracts under 12 months, requiring Ministry of Labor approval.

The Temporary Work Visa (Trabajador Temporal) is regulated under Peru's immigration laws, including Legislative Decree No. 1350, to provide a legal pathway for foreign professionals to work in the country for short-term projects. It fills the gap for companies that need to bring in specialized talent for contracts lasting less than 12 months, such as consultants, technical experts, or those on a probationary period, without committing to the more complex and permanent resident work visa process.

This visa is for foreign workers aged 18 and older who have secured a specific, legally signed employment or service contract with a Peruvian entity. It is ideal for professionals in fields requiring specialized knowledge, project-based assignments, or short-term technical support. What makes it distinctive is the requirement for a minimum income threshold, ensuring that the foreign worker's compensation is aligned with local economic standards while providing a clear, time-bound legal status for their temporary employment in the country.
