A) General rules and Eligibility

This visa can be granted to foreign citizens (“digital nomads”) that can work for a foreign employer while in Brazil, using information technology to perform their functions remotely. If the applicant works for a company in Brazil, this visa cannot be requested.

For General Visa Information, please check here.

The issuing of this visa is based on Normative Resolution No. 45/2021 of the National Immigration Council.

B) Length of stay in Brazil

Visas are issued for up to 1 (one) year, counted from the day of issue.

Within 90 (ninety) days of arrival in Brazil, bearers of temporary visas must register with the Brazilian Immigration authorities (DPMAF) in the place where the applicant intends to take up residence. The applicant should present the copy of the visa application form, provided upon collection of the visa at the Embassy, as well as the other documents listed in the Normative Resolution No. 45/2021.

C) Required documents

1. Passport	Valid for no less than 6 months, with at least two blank pages. Please note that pages reserved for amendments cannot be used for visa purposes. If you have been to Brazil before, make sure to bring your used visa to our Embassy
2. One recent photo	Filipino passport-size, in color, front view, white background and taken within 6 (six) months. Low quality photos will not be accepted. Please click here for photo specifications.
3. One visa application form	Printed and signed by the passport holder. All supporting documents must be digitally attached to the online form.
4. Original NBI clearance issued within the last 90 days	In case the applicant has resided in other countries in the last 12 months, police clearance from each country duly apostilled/legalized.
5. Legible birth certificate issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority – PSA and apostilled by the DFA	In case the applicant is not Filipino, original birth certificate duly apostilled/legalized by the competent authority in the country of origin of the document. Note: The apostille/legalization of a birth certificate is not compulsory for visa processing, but it is likely to be required upon registration in Brazil. Therefore, it is highly recommended that applicants apostille/legalize their documents before applying for a visa, as a foreigner must register within 90 days of entering Brazil.
6. Proof of Health Insurance coverage in Brazil for the length of the stay.
7. Proof of the condition of a “digital nomad”	Applicant’s declaration attesting one’s ability to carry out one’s professional activities remotely, through information and communication technologies; Employment or service contract or other documents that prove the relation with a foreign employer; and; Proof of means of subsistence, from a foreign paying source, in a monthly amount equal to or greater than US$ 1,500.00 (one thousand five hundred dollars) or availability of bank funds in the minimum amount of US$ 18,000.00 (eighteen thousand dollars). If funds are not credited to a Philippine bank account, documents must be notarized and duly apostilled/legalized in the country of origin.
