Overview

If the person has a residence permit in Brazil, it is important to observe the permitted period of absence so as not to compromise their immigration status. In general, the resident cannot be absent from the country for more than two consecutive years, under penalty of losing the right to residence. However, it is always recommended to check the specific conditions of your authorization, as certain types of residence may have more restrictive rules regarding the time of absence allowed. At the end of the 2-year period, the migration authorities may, at any time, initiate an administrative process for the loss or definitive cancellation of the residence permit. Therefore, it is important to keep your registration data updated to be notified of the start of the process and the possibility of filing an appeal. If the person returns to Brazil only after a period of 2 years and the process of loss/cancellation of residence has not yet occurred, it is possible to present Justification for the absence from Brazil.
