As I understand a tax agreement between Brazil and country X only hold if you are claimed as a taxpayer by country X. In which case you would have to show Brazil your income is already taxed elsewhere. In such a case you would not live in Brazil ... Read More

The income restriction of the rentista visa can be remedied by living two years (at least half time) in Peru and then applying for a Peruvian passport. This is a second passport and does not require surrendering your original passport. Naturalized ... Read More

In my understanding, the retirement visa doesn't even allow you to rent out your house or flat when you're not living in it. This is bad if you plan to own your own home but not live in it all year round. Your home will stay empty when ... Read More

I was over 20 times in Peru for short holidays over the past 15 years and Spanish has become 2nd nature to me. The only thing that scares me in Peru are earthquakes. I don't trust their seismic building code and anyway if you want to move about ... Read More

My money will be transferred from Europe (Germany). I see many Peruvians here sending money through Western Union or Moneygram etc., so I wonder whether Germany-to-Peru transfers are as efficient as US-to-Peru transfers, because Western and ... Read More

Indeed. One big question for me is what becomes of SWIFT transfers when they land with the bank in Peru. As far as I understand Peru wants 100% of your pension to land on a local bank account for the rentista visa. If your lose, say 10% of the money ... Read More

Class K permit: does Kenya tax the remittance (pension)? by jack_gats
You can get a long stay resident visa under the condition that you have an insured income from abroad. What I'd like to know is whether the remittance gets taxed or whether you need to fill in a tax return that will lead to its being taxed.
