📋 Tender Overview
Almost 100,000 foreigners entered last December through the Santa Rosa Border Control Post (PCF), located on the border between Peru and Chile, which allowed for an increase in commercial and economic activities in the south of the country during the Christmas and New Year holidays, reported the National Superintendence of Migrations. To meet the demand, the Tacna Zonal Headquarters arranged for the enabling of all the Migrations modules for immigration control, after coordination with the Investigative Police (PDI) of Chile and the authorities of the Bilateral Coordination Committee (CCB), which is in charge of the operation of Santa Rosa and Chacalluta.
In this way, Migrations registered the immigration control of entry of a total of 86,140 citizens from Chile, 4,251 from Bolivia, 1,415 from Colombia, 1,329 from Argentina, 1,027 from Ecuador and 673 from Brazil. The difference is made up by foreigners from Venezuela, the United States, Germany, France, Spain, Paraguay, Mexico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Great Britain, Italy, China, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, among others.
Migratory movement on the border with Chile in recovery
In this regard, the Tacna zonal chief, Luis Alberto Ramos Ruidias, commented that the migratory movement on the border with Chile is in the process of recovery and will soon reach pre-pandemic levels. There is a clear recovery to pre-pandemic figures, we are in that process. The city of Tacna, being strategic in matters of tourism and gastronomy, is favored in terms of immigration control, he commented.
Let us remember that immigration control between Peru and Chile is sequential, which implies that citizens who cross the border to register no longer need to go through both checkpoints. That is, those who go from Tacna to Arica go directly to the Chacalluta Border Complex for their exit and entry control, and those who move from south to north go to Santa Rosa, where there are immigration inspectors from Peru and Chile.
This procedure is part of the security measures applied by Immigration to authorize or not entry into the country, cross-checking the travelers information with national and international alert systems such as Interpol, the Pacific Alliance, warrants, among others.
