Overview

The CPLP Temporary Residence Visa is intended for citizens of the countries of the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP), which includes Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Timor-Leste. This visa allows for an initial stay of one year in Brazil, with the possibility of applying for a "residence permit" for up to two years after entering the country. It is a visa accessible to a variety of people, such as higher education teachers and researchers in specialized centers, non-higher education teachers, businesspeople with organized economic activity, cultural agents such as artists and athletes, and students participating in recognized exchange programs. This system aims to facilitate the mobility and integration of professionals and students, promoting cultural and economic exchange between CPLP member countries.
