Overview

The recent interministerial Ordinance represents a significant advance in immigration policies, establishing clear rules for granting temporary visas and residence permits to immigrants from the eight countries of the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP). This measure is a practical manifestation of the Agreement on Mobility between CPLP Member States, seeking to strengthen ties between these nations. This visa is aimed at highly qualified professionals, cultural agents, businesspeople and exchange students, emphasizing the diversity of profiles covered. Obtaining the CPLP Residence Visa is a detailed process, requiring the presentation of several documents. After entering Brazil, regularization is mandatory within 90 days for the residence permit to be granted. Initially, residence is granted temporarily, and you can later obtain residence for an indefinite (permanent) period.
