Frequently asked questions
What is the income requirement?
A Brazilian consulate lists a monthly income of at least US$1,500 from a foreign employer, or available funds of at least US$18,000. Evidence and document requirements vary by consulate; we check the applicable instructions before preparing your application.
Can the visa be converted to a residence permit?
Yes. The VITEM XIV can be converted to a temporary residence permit from within Brazil, allowing a multi-year stay without leaving the country.
Is my income taxed in Brazil?
Visa status does not itself settle tax residence. Brazil's tax authority lists a 184-day threshold within up to twelve months for certain temporary-visa holders, but some circumstances trigger residence earlier, including particular employment or permanent-residence changes. A Brazilian tax specialist must assess your visa category, stay and income.
Can I bring family members?
Yes. Dependants can be included in the application with proof of family relationship and financial support from the primary applicant.
