Overview

Entering Brazil as a tourist can serve as a valid starting point for those who wish to establish residency in the country. Brazilian immigration law allows, under certain conditions, the possibility of changing immigration status while already in the country. For example, individuals may be eligible to apply for a permit based on employment opportunities, digital nomad, MERCOSUL, family connections, study, investment, retirement and pension, marriage or civil partnership to a resident in Brazil, and other options. It is essential to ensure that all legal requirements are met. Legal guidance can help clarify the applicable rules, the risks involved, and the next step that best fits your situation.
