Is a lawyer necessary for applying for residency? by ChipW
After 12+ years in South America (8 countries), including 3 years of backpacking those 8 countries, I've decided to seek residency in Peru. Is the process easy enough to go it alone? Or should I look for a lawyer?
Thanks, much appreciated Read More

Thanks for the info. I searched and found the first link points to a Page Not Found page, and apparently, the page it couldn't find dates back to 2013. I also searched another expat forum, and that search resulted in an Internal Server Error page. ... Read More

Entry stamp 90-day extension - online? by ChipW
I'm sure I filled in an online form some years ago to receive a 90-extension for my entry stamp, but now I'm not seeing any such thing. Does it still exist?
So, I left CO and am now in EC. The Migraciones did not give me an extension, in fact, they have not sent me any message at all since I submitted the online form. My friend in Migractiones contacted the Bogota office, and received a message from ... Read More

@nico peligro My word, the people in this forum are so incredibly judgemental - yes I saw that message and there is no mention of where a person can find the form for the extension. Maybe you should take another look at it. Read More

@South American Voyager so judgemental - I've been living in South America for 12+ years, 7 countries, 300+ towns/cities - many of which I've spent time in on multiple occasions. How long have you been in SA? Oh, I see your profile shows expat since ... Read More
