Your Six-Step Work Visa Journey

Navigate the Brazil work visa process with confidence through our comprehensive, guided approach.

1. Work Visa Pre-Qualification
VisaHQ’s first step is a thorough pre-qualification assessment to determine your eligibility for a Brazil work visa. Our platform then generates a customized document detailing your qualifications, which you can attach to your resume when applying for jobs. This document demonstrates to potential employers that you have already taken important steps toward obtaining a visa, making you a more attractive candidate.

2. Free Consultation with an Immigration Specialist
As part of our commitment to guiding you every step of the way, VisaHQ offers a free consultation with a dedicated immigration specialist. During this session, you can discuss your unique circumstances, clarify any questions about visa requirements, and gain a solid understanding of the overall application process. This personalized advice helps you make informed decisions and feel confident about your path forward.
3. Tailored Application & Document Preparation
VisaHQ makes the paperwork process easy by guiding you through Brazil’s detailed visa requirements. Our team helps you complete all forms correctly and gather essential documents such as your employment contract, degree certificates, criminal background check, passport, and résumé—many of which must be translated into Portuguese and legalized. We ensure each document meets Brazilian Ministry of Labor standards, minimizing delays and maximizing approval success.
4. Seamless Submission & Sponsor Coordination
In Brazil, your employer must file a work visa request on your behalf with the Ministry of Justice and Public Security or Ministry of Labor, depending on the visa type. VisaHQ works directly with your sponsoring company to ensure their portion of the application is filed correctly and in coordination with your consular submission. We guide both you and your employer through every step, aligning timelines and keeping the process moving smoothly on both ends.
5. Government Approval & Visa Authorization
Once Brazil’s Ministry approves your work visa request, they issue an authorization that’s forwarded to the Brazilian consulate in your country. VisaHQ tracks your application closely, updates you throughout the process, and ensures you’re ready to complete the final steps. Our proactive support reduces wait times and gives you peace of mind knowing everything is on track for approval.
6. Final Consular Appointment & Travel Readiness
VisaHQ helps you finalize your visa at the nearest Brazilian consulate. We schedule your appointment, review your application package, and prepare you for any interviews or documentation requests. Once your visa is issued, we guide you on travel requirements and post-arrival steps in Brazil, including registration with the Federal Police, so you can start working legally and confidently from day one.
