The Brazilian federal government published in the Official Gazette, the temporary visa regulation for digital nomads. The measure allows foreigners to come to Brazil to work for foreign companies, remotely, using information and communication technologies (ICTs). The period of stay of the immigrant resident will be up to one year. The period can be extended by the same period.

The resolution also stipulates who is not a digital nomad: “A digital nomad will not be considered an immigrant who works, with or without an employment relationship, for an employer in Brazil or whose residence permit for the exercise of work activity in the country is regulated in another normative. of this Council”.

The temporary visa must be requested at any Brazilian consular office abroad, with the presentation of the documents provided for in the resolution, such as health insurance valid in the national territory, certificate of criminal record and proof of your status as a digital nomad. The immigrant who is in national territory may submit his/her application for a residence permit to the MJSP through the MigranteWeb System. In addition, proof of monthly livelihood equal to or greater than US$1,500 or availability of bank funds of at least US$18,000 is required.

These remote workers need Internet – preferably high-speed – via cable or Wi-Fi offered by cafes, restaurants, hotels, coworking spaces.
