In a 6 May 2004 telephone interview, an official of the Embassy of Peru in Ottawa provided the following information: According to the description provided to the Research Directorate, the term ESA means that the length of stay in Peru will be determined at the point of entry; as of 2004, point of entry would be considered either the airport in Lima or the immigration office. The official also noted that the code next to the term "tarifa" represents the type of visa issued. For a visa issued in 2001, 62d would indicate a student visa. However, the official pointed out that this code has changed since 2001 and in 2004 no longer identified as 62d.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim for refugee protection.
