Overview
Loss of residence permit may occur due to prolonged absence or failure to comply with certain obligations. 1. Avoid prolonged absences: Some permits have time limits outside the country. Plan your trips considering these deadlines. 2. Stay informed: Certain permits have requirements, such as continued employment or study, updating recorded data. Make sure you are compliant. 3. Know your rights: In Brazil, loss or cancellation is not automatic. There is a legal process for this, guaranteeing the right to be notified, as well as the right to contradictory proceedings and full defense.
