How can I get a Peru long-stay visa?

I plan to go to Peru for 5 months. I'm looking at the tourist visa, but is is only good for 3 months. How can I get a visa that would let me stay for at least 5 months? I'm in Spain.

Best Answer

A tourist visa is obviously the only option if you're going as a tourist for more than 90 days in a 180-day period (for less than that, you do not need any visa).

You get it from a Peruvian consulate in Spain. The link is to the one in Madrid, with a list of the required documents.

Has the consulate explicitly said that they aren't issuing tourist visas valid for more than 90 days?
