I have meet a couple of foreigners living in Peru who say that they qualified for the "Familiar Residente" Visa without being married. They lived with and continue to live with their partners.
In Peru, this is referred to as "convivientes" and is quite common amongst Peruvians. I know several people whose parents never married.
Anyone have any details on this? What documents would be needed to proof that my girlfriend and I have been living together?

Well, I have spend a bit more time searching and familiarizing myself with this subject.
"Any day now" Migrations will approve a new TUPA, which outlines their administrative procedures. Supposedly, those new procedures will allow convivientes to regularize their migratory situation.

The best you can do is rent a apartment together. I mean in the contract, if you both are on it is obviously that you live together.

Yes, registering as convivientes is the first step and quite easy to do.
The issue is convincing migration to give me a Resident Visa based on conviviente status. We are still waiting for them to update their TUPA and include this.
As far as I know, right now (September 2015) migration will reject the Resident Visa application for convivientes.
