Answer 1

Peruvians only have to wait two years.  Try asking Immigrations.

Answer 2

If they can prove a parent or grandparent was a spanish citizen they are entitled to spanish citizen

otherwise if the person overstayed their tourist visa they will have to wait 2 years without leaving spain and if after two years they can prove that they have a job they are entitled to spanish residency card
