According to official figures from the National Directorate of Migration and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Peru is the home of 64,303 foreign residents, from which 14% come from Argentina.

Peru's National Statistics Institute (INEI) has published this, and much more relevant data, in the book "International Migration amongst Peruvian families and Profile of Peruvian returnees."

Meanwhile, the second largest community in Peru is the American (US), with approximately 5,800 (9.1%), while 655 Chileans represent 8.8% of foreigners in Peru.

The next communities are Bolivian (4,549 or 7.1%), Colombian (4,353 or 6.8%), Brazilians (3,626 or 5.6%), Spanish (3,484 or 5.4%) and Chinese (3,240).

62.3% of these residents live in Lima, while 5.2% live in La Libertad and 3.7% in Arequipa.
