Step 1
Get a passportGet a Passport and Visa
To work in Brazil, you must ensure you acquire the right visa. Citizens can file with the Consulate General of Brazil representing their state. For example, the Atlanta Consulate General of Brazil serves Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi and Tennessee. Therefore, residents in those U.S. States need to file for a Visa at the Atlanta Consulate. It is important to note that several of the Consulate General offices do not accept applications by mail. According to the Brazilian Embassy in Washington’s website, there are ten different Visas representing various entry requirements. For example, athletes and artists (e.g. singers, performers) require “Temporary Visa III (VITEM-III)” while Americans visiting family and friends need Temporary Visa I. Most importantly, persons holding “Temporary Visa 1” credentials are not allowed to work in Brazil. -
