Setting up a company IS one of the grounds of obtaining the Carnet. This IS the investment visa.
You have to invest 25k in your own company. Show a business plan that will be evaluated by immigrations and hire 5 Peruvians.
Best for you to find out the facts of obtaining Residency and the Right to Work. Contact your most local Peruvian Embassy for the actual requirements on Visas and Residency.

So I am referring to a work visa through setting up a company, rather than getting a job through an employer. Not the investment visa. Great for people that don't have 25k!
Have spoken to the lawyer who wrote it, he has said there are updates and the Peruvian person on payroll is no longer needed, although two shareholders still are. You can have a 1% "shareholder", anyone you know resident in Peru or some lawyers will do it. The catch with this one is:

"For the employment contract, you must take into account that you need to have the work experience for the activity performed in the job that you are developing for yourself. The documents proving this must have the apostille seal (from the country in which they were generated) and then be translated into Spanish by an official translator, if they are issued in another language."

O and you need a lawyer ;-)

"You will need the assistance of a lawyer to draft the constitution and to authorize the contract. For the contract to be written, you or your lawyer will need to go to immigrations to request the “special permission to sign contracts” which will also be necessary for you to sign the work contract as an employee of the company that you are creating."

I have spoken to a different lawyer on the same topic and it is definitely an option for those that have the paperwork.

well,, that sounds like a very good change in policy,,, though I do not know all the details....
With the Carnet as a rentista based on the proof of $1000 you do not have the "right to work" in Peru.
After two years you can apply for Citizenship ....... [ The only difference I know is that with Citizenship you have the right to vote...and of course the right to work...]
I found out also that with Citizenship your TAX basis changes.... and where before there was no tax on global income. When you obtain Citizenship all global income is taxed even if it was taxed before in the country of origin....
I wonder if this will apply with the '"company as a route to work visa"

You might want to check if this and how this might affect you.
