Overview
When a foreign person is engaged to a Brazilian citizen and intends to marry in Brazil, there's no need to obtain a specific fiancé visa, as such a visa category doesn't exist in Brazil. Instead, the appropriate course of action would be to apply, post-marriage, for a residency permit via the family reunion process, which is granted to spouses or partners of Brazilian citizens. Before the wedding, the foreign national may travel to Brazil as a tourist, contingent upon her nationality and subject to the tourist visa requirements applicable to her country of origin. After the marriage, she can then seek to transition her status from tourist to resident by liaising with the relevant authorities in Brazil. If the couple is non-Brazilian citizens, they can go to Brazil to get married and later apply for the residency permit as well. Legal guidance can help clarify the applicable rules, the risks involved, and the next step that fits your situation.
