Overview

Brazil offers humanitarian visa to individuals in situations of extreme vulnerability, including stateless persons, those who are not recognised as nationals by any country. This visa provides a legal pathway for stateless individuals to reside in Brazil with dignity and access to fundamental rights such as healthcare, education, and employment. The humanitarian visa reflects Brazil’s commitment to international human rights and its alignment with the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons. Applicants must demonstrate their stateless condition and the humanitarian need for protection, and once granted, the visa allows for the regularisation of immigration status and the possibility of obtaining permanent residency in the country. Legal guidance can help clarify the applicable rules, the risks involved, and the next step that best fits your situation.
