In Brazil, deportation is an administrative measure applied to individuals who are found to be in an irregular migratory situation, such as entering the country unlawfully, overstaying their visa, or having their residence permit cancelled.

Overview

In Brazil, deportation is an administrative measure applied to individuals who are found to be in an irregular migratory situation, such as entering the country unlawfully, overstaying their visa, or having their residence permit cancelled. The process is conducted by the Federal Police and must respect the principles of due process, including the right to a full defence and to appeal with suspensive effect. Before deportation is enforced, the person is formally notified and given the opportunity to regularise their status or voluntarily leave the country within a set period, typically 60 days. Legal guidance can help clarify the applicable rules, the risks involved, and the next step that fits your situation.
