Overview

It is possible to bring a companion to Brazil with a Health Treatment visa, as long as there is a proven medical need. In exceptional cases, a temporary visa may be granted for more than one companion, even if family reunion requirements are not met, as long as the presence of the companion is justified by medical necessity. This measure exists to ensure that individuals undergoing medical treatment in Brazil can count on the support of family members or other people essential to their care and recovery. This is general information only. The appropriate legal path depends on the facts, timing, and authority involved. Before taking action, confirm the current rules for your situation and obtain individual individualized legal guidance where appropriate.
