IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? The Peruvian government has set up an online system for foreign residents to pay a mandatory annual alien fee (“tasa annual de extranjería”).
What does the change mean? Foreign residents should pay the annual alien fee of US$20 in the first quarter of the year, as the amount doubles for each successive late quarter and failure to pay will affect their ability to access other immigration services.
Background: The annual alien fee is not new, but starting this year it may be paid online. Foreign residents may engage an authorized third party to pay the fee on their behalves, but should do so immediately as this option may no longer be available in coming days or weeks.
BAL Analysis: To avoid late fees and suspension of other services, foreign residents are advised to pay the annual alien fee as soon as possible and before March 31.
