Initial validity of the VITEM V visa, with renewal and residency options.
Your salary must meet legal minimums. In 2026, the floor is R$ 1,518, but skilled roles usually pay much higher to qualify.
Dica
Check your professional license! Engineers and doctors need specific Brazilian registrations before the visa is granted.
The process involves the Ministry of Justice and the Consulate. One mistake in your criminal record check can cause months of delay.
Can I apply while inside Brazil?
Yes, if you hold a valid legal status, you can transition to a work visa locally.
Short-term consulting? You might need the Technical Assistance Visa instead. It's faster and simpler for stays under 90 days.
