Frequently asked questions
What is the income requirement?
Brazil requires a minimum monthly income of R$1,500 (approximately $300 USD) from sources outside Brazil. This is one of the lowest thresholds of any nomad visa globally, making it highly accessible for entry-level remote workers.
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?
Tax obligations for digital nomad visa holders depend on whether you become a Brazilian tax resident (generally after 183 days in Brazil in a 12-month period). We do not provide tax advice; consult a Brazilian tax professional if you plan a long stay.
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.
