How to get visa in Brazil

If you pretend to stay in Brazil you have 5 options how to obtain visa. I will describe it with all necesarities.

  1. Investment visa - if you got equivalent to 150.000 BRL (approximately 78.000 USD) you can open thru your procurador (person, usually lawyer, that have a power of attorney) open new company and send this money for bank account of your new company. I'll recommend you to hire company that is specialized for visa business, you can avoid all future problems. 
  2. Working visa - usually happens when you are interesting of job in Brazil for bigger company. Your new employer will make all necesary steps for obtaining visas.
  3. Marriage with brazilian - it looks like the easiest way for getting visa, but trust me, brazilian woman are complicated
  4. Childbirt - there is nothing to say it's obvious, if your child will be born in Brazil, you got automaticaly brazilian visa
  5. Visa amnesty - every 10 years the brazilian govermant will give amnesty.  From the date of approval, illegal foreigners who entered prior to February have 180 days to make themselves known to the Federal Police and register their position. They will need to present proof of their date of entry, a clear criminal record both within and outside of Brazil, and pay an as-yet unconfirmed sum for the Carteira de Identidade de Estrangeiro (CEI).  

After 5 years of remaining visa you have the right to apply for naturalization which means brazilian passport.
