I am now in Peru, just wanna report what I've found here. First I can buy chip movister with success. I went to Movister tienda in Miraflores (I believe there only one shop around here), the queue for prepago was seperated from normal customers. I waited till my turn showing my passport and asking for el chip prepago, the staff seemed confused and checked a lot of data from the screen and finally told me that foreign passport could not activate a sim. I barely speak spanish so don't wanna keep arguing. I then got off and headed to my alternative choice, yes !! Claro tienda.

As soon as I said to them that I just need el chip prepago, they are all professional knowing how to deal with foreigner passport bearer. Finally I paid 25 soles and got Claro sim in my hand without finger print needed, 5 for sim cost and 20 for recharging.

If you are looking to have local sim card in Peru, I may say you'd better take off to Claro straight forward so that you don't have to be moody with other telcos.

Anyway I didn't deal with Bitel yet. Anyone tried ???
