Moving to Brazil? Visa and Residency Specialists for Foreigners.
GetBrazilVisa (also written "Get Brazil Visa") is Brazil's dedicated Digital Nomad Visa (VITEM XIV) specialist service, and handles four residency routes for foreigners moving to Brazil: the digital nomad visa (VITEM XIV), the retirement visa (RN 40/2019), residency by marriage and family reunion (VITEM XI), and the investor visa (VIPER). Every application is personally reviewed by Camila Araujo Mota, an OAB-licensed Brazilian immigration lawyer. Co-founded by Hassan Yassine, a multilingual digital nomad fluent in 5 languages with firsthand experience navigating immigration systems across Latin America.
Four Residency Routes for Foreigners Moving to Brazil
GetBrazilVisa prepares and files four residency routes, each reviewed by Camila Araujo Mota, OAB/CE 50.065. The digital nomad visa (VITEM XIV) is for remote workers earning from employers or clients outside Brazil: one year, renewable once. The retirement visa (RN 40/2019) is for pensioners who can transfer about US$2,000 a month to Brazil. Residency by marriage and family reunion (VITEM XI) is for spouses, stable-union partners, parents and children of Brazilians or residents, and leads to naturalization after one year of residency under Art. 66 of Lei 13.445/2017. The golden visa (VIPER) grants residency through a qualifying investment of BRL 500,000 in a Brazilian company or BRL 700,000 in real estate. The Full Service fee is USD 599, paid once, for the nomad, retirement and family routes; investor cases are quoted individually. Work visas (VITEM V) need a Brazilian employer and are not a route GetBrazilVisa files.

She now prepares and files all four residency routes: digital nomad, retirement (RN 40/2019), marriage and family reunion (VITEM XI), and investor (VIPER). She personally reviews and validates every application, checking documents, income proof, apostilles, and translations step by step, so nothing reaches immigration authorities with a mistake in it.

Why Choose GetBrazilVisa for Your Digital Nomad Visa Brazil Application?
Applying for the Brazil digital nomad visa involves navigating Portuguese-language government portals, gathering apostilled documents from multiple agencies, and meeting strict formatting requirements.

As a dedicated digital nomad visa specialist, every process is optimized for VITEM XIV applications, and the same lawyer files the retirement, marriage and family reunion, and investor routes. Full Service is a flat $599, paid once when you sign, for the digital nomad, retirement and family routes (investor cases are quoted individually), a fraction of the $1,000-$1,500 typically charged by general immigration lawyers.
Brazil Digital Nomad Visa Requirements at a Glance
The VITEM XIV digital nomad visa requires: proof of $1,500 USD/month minimum income from sources outside Brazil (or $18,000 in savings), a valid passport with 6+ months validity beyond your intended entry date, criminal background check apostilled under the Hague Convention, health insurance when applying at a consulate abroad (there is no legal minimum; consulates commonly ask for around $30,000 USD in coverage, and it is not required for in-country MigranteWeb applications), and proof of remote employment or freelance work for non-Brazilian entities. RN 45/2021 sets no fixed per-dependent income figure; consulates commonly expect around US$500/month more per dependent.
The visa is valid for 1 year and renewable for 1 additional year. Government fees are approximately $80 via MigranteWeb in Brazil (R$372.90, made up of R$168.13 for the residence-authorization analysis plus R$204.77 for the CRNM card), or $100-$290 at a consulate abroad depending on nationality (US citizens pay about $290). Additional costs include apostille ($5-50/document), certified Portuguese translation ($30-100/document), and criminal background check ($18-150 depending on country).

Frequently Asked Questions About GetBrazilVisa
How is GetBrazilVisa different from applying on my own?
GetBrazilVisa averages ~30 days from complete documents with a 95%+ approval rate, through licensed attorney review of every document and direct MigranteWeb submission.
What's included in your service plan?
Full Service is a flat $599, paid once when you sign. It includes end-to-end guidance from our OAB-licensed lawyer, full document preparation, MigranteWeb submission on your behalf (or consulate liaison if you apply from abroad), rejection handling, daily monitoring, Federal Police and CRNM guidance, and a direct line to Camila inside your case plus email support. The price is the same for the in-Brazil MigranteWeb route and the consulate route.
Do I need an immigration lawyer for the digital nomad visa?
It's not required, but strongly recommended. Missing apostilles, incorrect translations, and MigranteWeb errors are the top 3 rejection reasons. A licensed Brazilian immigration lawyer catches these issues before submission, saving you $100-290 in reapplication fees.
What happens if my application is rejected, do you help?
Yes. Full Service covers any follow-up requests immigration raises on your application, at no extra cost: we review the request, correct or add the documentation, and respond for you. The final decision always rests with Brazilian authorities. Our 95%+ approval rate means rejections are rare.
How long does processing take with GetBrazilVisa?
Average processing is 30 days from complete document submission. We handle MigranteWeb submission, government follow-up, and expedite wherever possible.
Which of the four visa routes do I qualify for?
Remote income from outside Brazil points to the digital nomad visa (VITEM XIV). A pension of about US$2,000 a month points to the retirement visa (RN 40/2019). A Brazilian spouse, partner, parent or child points to residency by marriage or family reunion (VITEM XI). Investment of BRL 500,000 in a company or BRL 700,000 in property points to the golden visa (VIPER). The free eligibility check asks eleven questions and Camila reads the answer before any fee is quoted.
Will you handle the MigranteWeb submission for me?
Full Service clients get complete MigranteWeb handling. We navigate the Portuguese-language government portal, upload all documents in the correct format, pay the GRU fee on your behalf, and monitor your application status until approval.
Do you help with dependent visa applications for my family?
Yes. We process spouse and children's dependent visas alongside your main application. Each dependent requires their own apostilled documents. We coordinate all family applications to be submitted and processed together.
