Für wen dieser Ratgeber ist

For South American travel, Lusophone work or investment, and Mercosur passport holders lining up two-year PR.

Einreise und Aufenthalt

Many passports are visa-free for 90 days. The US, Australia and Canada have been in and out of eVisa. Chinese passports must check Itamaraty / Federal Police notices before travel. Visitors cannot work.

Arbeiten und Wohnen

VITEM covers work, investment, research and family. Mercosur nationals have a residence agreement. Jobs or investments are often approved federally, visa-stickered at a mission, then registered with Federal Police plus a CPF.

Niederlassung und Staatsangehörigkeit

Mercosur nationals often reach PR in two years; others around four. Naturalisation is commonly four years (shorter for Lusophone countries or parents of Brazilians). Dual nationality is allowed. Confirm with the Ministry of Justice.

Time to PR：2–4 years by category, or direct via investment
