Why applications on this route get refused
Employment contract not approved by the labor authority
A contract that hasn't been approved by the competent Peruvian labor authority, or that runs for less than a year, doesn't meet the requirement.
How to avoid it: Have your employer submit the contract for labor-authority approval before you apply, and confirm its term is at least one year.
Employer not active with SUNAT
If your employer isn't registered as an active taxpayer, the application doesn't meet the requirement to show a valid, operating employer.
How to avoid it: Check your employer's SUNAT status is active before applying.
Missing or outdated clean record certificate
Not providing a certificate covering the full 5 years before your arrival, from every relevant country, is a common reason applications are rejected.
How to avoid it: Request certificates early from every country you lived in during that period.
