The residence permit for an indefinite period in Brazil can be obtained through several routes.

Overview

The residence permit for an indefinite period in Brazil can be obtained through several routes. One of them is through marriage or stable union with a Brazilian citizen. Another possibility is the grant for length of residence, after proof of legal and uninterrupted residence in the country for a certain period. In this second case, those who have temporary residence as employees, volunteer workers and workers in religious activities can later obtain a permanent residence permit. Just like the investor or entrepreneur. Obtaining permanent residence can also occur after obtaining temporary residence as an investor or entrepreneur, retiree or pensioner. Another important route is the granting of permanent residence by obtaining refuge or asylum, if the person meets the requirements.
