IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? The government of Peru has expanded the eligibility of Venezuelans to apply for temporary permits to those entering Peru in 2018, under Supreme Decree 001-2018-IN, which took effect today.
What does the change mean? Venezuelans who enter Peru by the end of 2018 are eligible to apply for a special Temporary Permit of Permanence, or PTP, that is valid for one year. A previous decree expired Tuesday.
Background: Under a prior decree, Venezuelans who entered Peru legally before Aug. 1, 2017 were eligible to apply for a PTP. The government has extended the eligibility again, now covering those entering Peru prospectively during 2018. Applicants must either hold an expired visa or choose to convert their regular status to a PTP. Applicants must have clean police, criminal and judicial records.
BAL Analysis: The decree allows regularization of status for thousands of Venezuelans who will have entered Peru since the previous supreme decrees due to humanitarian and human rights concerns.
