Peru is pointed out as one of the most accessible countries in Latin America for Brazilian immigrants, standing out for its world-renowned gastronomy and cultural proximity to Brazil. Facilitated immigration occurs through the Mercosur Residence Agreement, which allows Brazilian citizens to apply for temporary residence of up to two years based solely on the nationality criterion, guaranteeing the immediate right to live, travel, study, and work in the country.
However, political instability is the main point of attention for those considering moving to Peru. The country has had nine presidents in the last ten years, which results in sporadic protests and generates recurring political uncertainties.
According to the Global Peace Index 2026, Peru ranks 107th in the ranking, being classified as not very safe. This classification represents an alert for Brazilians planning to reside in the South American country.
