f) Regulatory foundations
The government of Peru signed the Law of Adherence to the Mercosur Residency Agreements in June 2011 and anticipated its immediate ratification. Once the Immigration Law or Law nº703/1991 was in force at that time . Therefore, the agreement was applied using the Single Text of Administrative Processes (TUPA) of the National Superintendence of Migration. Once the Immigration Law was repealed, Decree No. 1236/2015 and Decree No. 1350/2017 were enacted, which repealed the previous decrees and constituted the new Peruvian Migration Law . The initiative of the Ministry of the Interior with the changes was to simplify and order migration legislation, protecting the fundamental rights of national and foreign citizens. In the International Agreements section you can find the residence permit for nationals of countries with which the Peruvian State has international treaties and agreements, in addition to establishing the possibility of residence.
