Working in Brazil: work permits
- Foreign nationals who want to work in Brazil generally need a residence authorisation for work purposes, handled by the Ministry of Justice and Public Security. Either the employer or the immigrant can apply. Official information.
- For people still abroad, the authorisation is decided first, and the immigrant then obtains a temporary visa from a Brazilian consulate. Official information.
- Beware of fake job offers: genuine employers do not ask candidates to pay for a job, a visa or an interview. If an offer asks for money, do not pay. Check it with the company directly.
