Overview

Retirees and pensioners who wish to live in Brazil can apply for a temporary visa, as long as they demonstrate a monthly transfer of at least USD 2,000 to the country, among other eligibility and documentation criteria. The visa is initially granted for two years and can be renewed indefinitely, also known as permanent. Those who are already in Brazil as visitors can apply for this category of residence permit. This is general information only. The appropriate legal path depends on the facts, timing, and authority involved. Before taking action, confirm the current rules for your situation and obtain individual legal advice where appropriate.
