  "root_cause": "Peru's paid 'prórroga de permanencia' (stay extension) is, per Migraciones' own TUPA requirements, legally available only to nationals/residents of Andean Community (CAN) member states — Bolivia, Colombia, and Ecuador — whose entry authorization was shorter than the treaty maximum, up to a combined cap of 183 days per 12-month period, via Form F-007 and a small fee (S/11.70 under the governing decree). Tourists of other nationalities (US, EU, and most of the world) receive a single, non-extendable stay authorization at entry and cannot pay to extend it further. Overstaying accrues a daily fine (S/5.50/day as of 2026, 0.1% of the UIT) collected on exit, and can also lead to an entry ban or expulsion.",
