Bottom Line Up Front

Today’s verdict: Peru is quietly tightening migration control on three fronts at once — a biometric, police-linked ID, thousands of nationwide checks and airport e-gates on the way — while Argentina’s Monotributo deadline hits Wednesday and Cali counts down to a locked-down August 7 inauguration.

Peru enforcement. A biometric electronic Carné de Extranjería, 2,541 police-backed control operations and a plan for e-gates at Lima’s airport all point one way: keep your carné and status current.

Argentina deadline. The Monotributo recategorisation closes Wednesday, August 5 — freelancers on the regime should review their last 12 months now.

Cali countdown. More than 11,000 forces, a drone ban and an August 7 inauguration at the Arena USC — plan travel in the Valle.
