Brazil is the largest country in South America and a member of BRICS and Mercosur. Brazil's visa system is categorized into tourist, business, student, work, investment, and family reunification visas. Most visas are issued for a term of 1 to 10 years, with the possibility of renewal, subsequent acquisition of permanent residency, and—eventually—citizenship. Brazil recognizes dual citizenship and offers a range of benefits to residents, including access to free public healthcare (SUS) and education.
Residents of Brazil may freely travel, work, and study in Mercosur countries (Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay) through a simplified procedure, without the need to obtain additional visas.
Residents of Brazil have access to the free public healthcare system (SUS), which covers most medical services, including emergency care, hospitalization, and many types of medical treatment.
The children of residents are entitled to attend public schools in Brazil free of charge. Public universities are also available, offering low tuition fees (or free tuition upon admission).
After 2 to 4 years of legal residency (depending on the specific category), one may obtain permanent residence; four years after obtaining permanent residence, one becomes eligible to apply for Brazilian citizenship.
Brazil recognizes dual citizenship. Obtaining a Brazilian passport does not require you to renounce your current citizenship.
Brazilian citizenship grants visa-free or simplified entry to over 170 countries, including the Schengen Area, the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, and most South American nations.

The passport must be valid for at least 6 months at the time of application submission and contain a minimum of two blank pages for a visa.
A certificate of no criminal record is required from the country of residence (typically valid for 90 days, with an apostille and a translation into Portuguese).
It is necessary to demonstrate the availability of sufficient funds to cover living expenses in Brazil (the required amount depends on the visa category: ranging from $2,000 for a tourist visa to a regular income of 6,000–9,000 BRL for retirees).
For most temporary visas, health insurance providing coverage within Brazil for the entire duration of the stay is required.
The applicant must clearly state the purpose of entry (tourism, study, work, investment, family reunification) and provide supporting documentation.
After entering Brazil on a long-term visa, it is mandatory to register with the Federal Police within 90 days to obtain a resident identity card (CRNM / RNE).
