Overview
The visa and residence for the purpose of working without employment in Brazil, intended to carry out research, teaching or academic extension activities, are granted to scientists, researchers, teachers and other foreign professionals who wish to stay in the country for more than 90 days. Interested parties can apply for a visa directly to the Brazilian consular authority if they are abroad, or to the competent immigration agency if they are already in Brazil. The residence period can be up to two years and allows the applicant to receive remuneration related to authorized activities. To qualify, it is necessary to be involved in activities such as research funded by recognized Brazilian or foreign institutions, participation in international research projects or interinstitutional agreements, among other modalities, as determined by legislation.
