you have to get your contract approved by the ministerio of trabajo and then you have to go to migraciones with that and start a long super fun process of getting a carnet de extranjeria.聽 your work should be able to help you with that...

thank you for the reply.. i appreciate it. what if we get married would that be easier? how long will the process take? but the company told me to get a permisso first for me to sign a contract with them..

Umm... I think getting a CE (carnet de extranjeria... a foreign person card) without a contract will be a lot tougher.聽 If you get married, yes, you can get a CE without a contract.

I will be moving to Miraflores next week. I have been looking for available jobs for an english speaker, my spanish is very bad but will get better I am sure. I was hoping to find some of the american companies which have available positions but I have not found much.
Can any of you post some Lima job board sites or where the best place to find jobs for an american?
