Overview

Establishing yourself in Brazil with your family is entirely possible, as long as the correct immigration procedures are followed. Brazilian legislation provides for different types of residence permits, according to each person's profile and situation, including reasons such as work, investment, retirement and family reunion. Even if no family member has Brazilian nationality, it is possible for one of them to request authorization as the main holder and include their spouse, children or other dependents through the family reunion process. The legislation allows these requests to be filed simultaneously, but it is important to know that the dependent's residence permit is conditional on prior approval of the main applicant's permit.
