The Brazil Immigration and Relocation Guide has been written to help potential immigrants in the quest to their country of choice.
The Guide would be extremely helpful to:
- People who do not want to spend thousands of dollars in immigration consultation fees
- People who do not mind to hire an immigration lawyer, but want to know what all their visa options are beforehand
- People who have general or academic interest in the subject of immigration to Brazil, all visa categories and procedures

Hi,
My name is Katia Castro, I’m from São Paulo, Brazil and here is why I have decided to write this Guide.
In 1999, I met a foreigner while studying in the USA and after some months of dating and living together we decided to get married. My future husband came to Brazil on Tourist Visa, we had translated and notarized all the necessary legal documentation and got married legally both in church and civil office.
We were extremely happy, life was in front of us, but before making any concrete plans on buying property, starting a business or even finding temporary job, first my husband needed Permanent Residence Visa. The Tourist Visa was to expire soon, so we gathered all the necessary documents as instructed by the Federal Police Department of Immigration and were ready to proceed.
Our research on the Internet showed that since we are legally married my husband has the right to obtain Permanent Residence as part of the Brazilian so called Family Reunion Law. Similar laws are popular in other countries in America and Europe so we were convinced that the process would be fast and easy.
We couldn’t be more WRONG!!
The BIG difference between the laws in Brazil and most of the other countries we researched was that in Brazil you had the RIGHT TO APPLY, but not the RIGHT TO RECEIVE!!
Our life turned to HELL! A small typing mistake in my husband’s name made all documents invalid and we had to redo everything! Then, The Federal Police officer in charge of our case reported that he went to our apartment for an interview (required by the law), but he couldn’t find us. Absolute LIE since my husband could not work on Tourist Visa and was at home all day long! More and more obstacles were laid on our road to the dreamed visa and at one point it was rejected by the Ministry of Justice with no explanation at all!
We were DEVASTATED! We didn’t know what to do and it seemed like our life together has come to an end – at least in Brazil, my country of birth! Something that was so obvious to us – getting married, having the visa issued and going ahead with our lives was denied and we had no solution!
At that point we decided that we still have another option – hiring an immigration lawyer, paying whatever fees they were going to ask us and having them to deal with the impossible bureaucracy in Brazil at that time.
So we did. It was not easy neither cheap but finally 2 years after getting married my husband finally received his Permanent Residence Visa.
According to our immigration lawyers we could avoid most of the problems and even get the visa ourselves if we knew WHAT EXACTLY to do and HOW EXACTLY to do it. We did not.
That’s the reason I decided to write this Guide – to help YOU avoid all the hassle and save your time and money when applying for visa to Brazil, and to give YOU the KNOWLEDGE of what to expect and how exactly to deal with it!

The Guide covers ALL MAJOR types of visas, not only Permanent Residency based on Family Reunion. They are:
- Transit Visa
- Tourist Visa
- All Types of Temporary Visa
- All Types of Permanent Visa
The paperwork required to obtain a visa can vary from the simple presentation of a passport on arrival in Brazil for tourists of certain countries, to translated and notarized documents such as an educational record, police record, etc. for foreigners who wish to reside and/or work in Brazil.
Tourist and transit visas are normally easy to obtain. However, temporary and permanent residence visas require an extensive list of documents and the procedure of obtaining is complex and lengthy.

Well hello Katia! What a lovely website you have created here; however, the information that you’ve put into it all seems clear, concise, and to the point.
It’s great to have someone there in Brasil that I can communicate with insofar as I am planning a trip down whenever possible. You have no doubt been to my site “The Thinker” because that’s where I learned how to find you. Thank you for visiting! If you should need any assistance on this end, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Best of everything for you and yours!
jon-paul
Thank you!
Wow, I really can relate to this. I received permanent investors visas for myself and my family. It took forever for us to receive it (2 years). The process was a real headache. After moving down here I found out that everything could have went a lot smoother. I will be posting a link to your site on my website as well.
I have a lot of site visitors contact me about assistance with the visa process. You may want to sell your guide on my site as well.
Take care,
Sharif
Thanks, Sharif! We are planning affiliate program and I’ll let you know once it’s live!
I appreciate that Katia
thank you because I almost married a brazilian girl. And now I plann to marry another one. So this is good to know. I know we will not live there until retirement but thanks. I know how curupt brazils government is and im sorry you had such troubles. I will live here in usa until I can afford to not work until I die, But anyway brazilian girls are special better than any other by far! thnx!
Just FYI – we do have an immigration lawyer. I am married to a Brazilian and technically have a Brazilian daughter. The lawyers told us it would take about two weeks to get my visa… nine months later I still do not have it. The Federal Police “lost” my file so we also had to start the process again. My advice to anyone trying to get through this process is to not have any great expectations about receiving a quick solution. Also, make two copies of everything you submit! Good luck.
Well, it definitely depends on the lawyer…If he is a good one, he should be able to start and finish your case without your personal involvement with the authorities.
If at any point in the future you decide to change him or just need one for another reason, just drop me a line and I’ll put you in contact with the best ones in Sao Paulo.
I write a blogg called digdigs. Im happy i found your blogg. You are a good person for trying to help people by posting it. I hope I get to use your info since im crazy in love with a brazilian girl or 2 but one had to go home to finish school. And broke my heart and now I meat another girl and she is braziliera kkkkkk so I get lucky now I just need to overcome all this distance! I will because im determined to be happy!
Well, Bonoite!
tchau!
The Love runs the World!
I’ll be happy to help with anything I can. Good luck!!

I have a situation somewhat like yours. I am a US citizen and my wife is a Brazilian with permanent residency here. Our son has both Brazilian and US citizenship.We now live near San Francisco, California.
We are thinking of retiring/moving to Brazil at some point. I would even consider becoming a Brazilian citizen perhaps. I do have concerns and interests about investment effects, costs of living, health care, jobs, etc.
I would love to talk to an informed and helpful person about these things. Any ideas?
David, have you tried to talk to Ben at Aries Immigration Consulting? Here is the link: http://www.how2immigrate.net/consultation.html
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.
Thanks for your information. I may follow up with him. I would like to get a better sense of these things.
Hi. My husband is going to be hired by a company in Brazil, and they are going to take care of his immigration paperwork.
I have two questions regarding this:
* since I´m his wife, do I apply for the family visa?
* in case I do so, may I work with that visa?
Thank you very much,
Ana
Dear Ana, the immigration lawyers taking care of your husband visa should also apply for a visa on your behalf, However, even though you will be allowed to stay with your husband in Brazil, you won’t be able to work unless you find an employer to sponsor your independent work visa.
