How long must the investment be maintained and what continuing ownership, investment or physical-presence conditions are important?

The official source does not state a minimum holding period. The permit runs in 'bianual' periods up to a total of six (6) years, and each extension (prórroga) requires re-submitting the original requirements, including proof of a direct agricultural/aquaculture investment of at least B/.60,000.00, except the criminal-record certificate and the cheques, plus the applicant's national tax clearance (Paz y Salvo Nacional de Rentas). The official source does not state a physical-presence requirement.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • No explicit holding period or physical-presence rule; continued investment is evidenced only by re-submission at extension.

Which family members can be included where officially stated, and what broad residence/work rights result?

Dependants can be included by adding an investment of B/.500.00 per dependant, which may be justified by a local bank reference. The official source does not state which family members qualify as dependants or what residence or work rights result.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The document does not define which family members are considered dependents.
  • The document does not state any residence or work rights for included dependents.

What status is obtained, how is it renewed, what longer-term residence/citizenship direction is officially stated, and what happens to the investment when relevant?

The permit is granted for two-year periods up to a total of six years. Renewal (prórroga) requires the same requirements except the criminal-record certificate and the cheques, and additionally a tax clearance certificate (Paz y Salvo Nacional de Rentas del Solicitante). The official source does not state any longer-term residence or citizenship direction, nor what happens to the investment.

Limits of the record
  • The document does not state any longer-term residence or citizenship direction.
  • The document does not state what happens to the investment upon renewal or after the permit ends.
