Overview

It is possible for someone to visit Brazil as a tourist and, upon falling in love with the country, decide to settle here permanently. However, making this transition requires following legal immigration procedures and obtaining an appropriate visa. Initially, the visitor can stay in the country on a tourist visa for a specific period, generally up to 90 days, depending on nationality, they may request an additional 90 days. If you decide to stay longer or establish residence, you will need to apply for a residence permit, either temporary or permanent, depending on the situation and future plans. This process involves complying with the requirements established by Brazilian legislation and includes several documents, depending on the person's case.
