Peruvian Investor / Rentista Residency
Open
Last verified July 2026
The investor and rentista routes are the practical way to establish the legal residence that counts toward Peru's fast naturalisation process. It's worth pairing this with the naturalisation route while the two-year rule still stands.

What can go wrong

- Residency is the means, not the end. The real value is the two-year naturalisation clock, which the 2025 reform will lengthen.
