Peru

South America

Peru's famous two-year path to citizenship under Ley 26574 is still current law, though a pending five-year rule is waiting on its regulation to publish. The digital nomad visa created in 2023 was never added to the Migraciones application system and cannot actually be applied for, and crossing 183 days makes you tax domiciled only from the following 1 January, so the interim period is taxed at a flat 30 percent of gross income with no deductions.
