Brazilian Naturalisation Hub. General information; confirm the current rules before acting.

Overview

Sporadic trips abroad whose sum of periods does not exceed 12 months, in years of residence for an indefinite period, do not prevent the granting of naturalization. When assessing the period of absence from Brazil for naturalization purposes, the proportionality is as follows: a maximum of three months within a period of one year, including all periods of sporadic travel. Therefore, the same proportionality must be taken into account when calculating terms of two years or more. Always consult a lawyer to receive instructions according to your case. An immigration attorney understands the importance of complying with immigration regulations and can help you navigate the process of obtaining the necessary documentation for your immigration journey. The technical knowledge of an immigration attorney ensures that the applicant meets all the requirements and obtains the necessary documents for the process, as required by law.
