Overview
Sporadic trips abroad, the sum of which does not exceed 12 months, during years of indefinite residence, do not prevent the granting of naturalization. When assessing the period of absence from Brazil for naturalization purposes, proportionality is as follows: maximum of three months in a period of one year, including all periods of sporadic travel. Therefore, the same proportionality must be taken into account when calculating periods of two years or more. Always consult a trusted lawyer for instructions based on your case. An immigration lawyer understands the importance of complying with immigration regulations and can help you navigate the process of obtaining the necessary documentation for your immigration journey. Legal guidance can help clarify the applicable rules, the risks involved, and the next step that best fits your situation.
