Your Office, Anywhere in Brazil

Brazil's Digital Nomad Visa (officially the Temporary Visa for Remote Workers) was introduced to attract talented professionals who work remotely for companies or clients outside of Brazil. It is one of the fastest and most accessible visa options available, with a streamlined application process that can be completed in as little as two weeks.

This visa is perfect for software developers, designers, consultants, content creators, and any professional whose work can be done from a laptop. With a minimum income requirement of just $1,500 USD per month, it is accessible to a wide range of remote workers looking to experience Brazil's incredible quality of life.

The visa is valid for one year and can be renewed for an additional year, giving you up to two years of legal residency in Brazil. During this time, you can travel freely within Mercosur countries and enjoy all the benefits of living in one of the world's most dynamic and diverse nations.
