Working in Brazil without a visa?

New 2026 rules simplify entry for technicians.

Decreto 12.657/2025 changed everything. Foreign technicians can now enter Brazil on a VIVIS for up to 90 days.

90 Days

The new maximum stay for technical assistance under a simplified VIVIS entry.

No direct hiring needed. You stay employed by your foreign company while providing services in Brazil.

To qualify, you need a formal contract between your foreign employer and the Brazilian entity. No individual hiring allowed.

Dica

Keep your salary payments outside Brazil. Your foreign employer must pay you to avoid labor law complications.

180 Days

Total time allowed if you extend your initial 90-day stay once.

Can I work for a Brazilian company?

No. You must provide services through your foreign employer's contract.

Avoid the bureaucracy of a full VITEM V work visa. The 2026 rules make short-term consulting faster and cheaper.
