When the temporary visa granted is close to expiry, it is necessary to request renewal…

Brazilian Naturalisation Hub. General information; confirm the current rules before acting.

Overview

When the temporary visa granted is close to expiry, it is necessary to request renewal of the residence permit before the deadline. This renewal must be requested maintaining the same reason for the initial stay, such as work, study or another authorized purpose. Alternatively, it is possible to request conversion to another category of residence, depending on your personal situation, such as changing employment, family reunion or permanent residence. Remaining in the country with an expired residence permit constitutes an irregular migratory situation, subject to penalties and restrictions.
