Is your safety protected in Brazil?

The 2026 guide to seeking legal asylum.

Brazil offers one of the most humanitarian asylum systems. Once you apply, you cannot be deported to danger.

Day 1

You get the right to work and access healthcare immediately after filing your request.

Your first stop is the Federal Police. They issue your 'Protocolo'—your legal ID during the process.

Dica

Pro Tip: Get your CPF tax ID and open a bank account as soon as you receive your Protocolo!

Can I work while waiting?

Yes! You are authorized to work legally from the moment you register your application.

The process takes 12-30 months. During this time, you have full access to public education and services.

Don't face the bureaucracy alone. Secure your new life in Brazil today.
