A free channel manager for individual Airbnb hosts in Peru
A free channel manager for a Peruvian host operates in a market with no nationwide ban and minimal licensing enforcement, but a 2024 rule (Decreto Supremo 011-2024-IN) requires hosts to report every foreign guest's identity documents and stay dates to Peru's migration authority through an official portal, separate from any tax obligation. getfursat's free tier syncs Airbnb and Booking.com regardless; it doesn't handle guest reporting for you.
Peruvian short lets sell mainly through Airbnb and Booking.com, concentrated in Lima's Miraflores, San Isidro, and Barranco districts. Formal STR licensing is essentially unenforced, with 0% of roughly 15,399 Lima listings holding a license, but the guest-registration rule is a real, separate, and specifically foreign-guest-focused obligation.
The main legal framework is MINCETUR's lodging regulation (Decreto Supremo 001-2015-MINCETUR and its 2021 modifications), which defines lodging activity and sets accommodation standards. The most consequential recent requirement is Decreto Supremo 011-2024-IN, requiring hosts to report foreign guests' identity documents and stay dates to Peru's migration authority through an official portal, separate from any tax obligation. Hosts earning rental income must also declare it to SUNAT, Peru's tax authority, and business-like operations may face additional municipal requirements. Formal short-term-rental licenses are not legally required, though tax registration is expected; despite this, out of 15,399 tracked Lima listings, 0% hold a short-term-rental license, indicating minimal enforcement in practice. Building-level restrictions are the more common real constraint, with newer condo towers in Miraflores, San Isidro, and Barranco frequently prohibiting short-term rentals in their HOA bylaws.
Peru is unusual on this list for regulating the guest, not just the host, the 2024 migration-reporting rule exists specifically to track foreign visitors' identity and stay dates, which means a host can be fully tax-compliant and still be non-compliant on an entirely separate axis if they haven't set up foreign-guest reporting through the migration portal.
