Familial Visas
VIPER (permanent visas)
Globalization encourages the displacement of economic resources and facilitates human mobility.
It is increasingly common to find families made up of more than one nationality. However, to ensure permanent status for the family, it is necessary to be aware of the rights of the immigrant. The legislation pertaining to these concessions is Interministerial Ordinance No. 12, of June 13, 2018. Naturally, each category contains its specifics, but don't worry! Every process starts with understanding your life story together with document analysis.
Family Reunion
WHO CAN APPLY?
The family member “CALLING”: The Brazilian (or immigrant who already has a residency permit) with whom the current applicant for a residency permit wishes to have a family reunion.
The familiar “NAME”: Is the current applicant for the residence permit who wants family reunion with a Brazilian (or with an immigrant who is already a beneficiary of a residence permit).
Validity: Definitive (temporary or permanent).
A Foreigner That Has a Brazilian Child
WHO CAN APPLY?
A foreigner who has a child with a Brazilian that has legal custody of the child or a minor and economic dependence is proven.
Validity: Granted until the child’s economic emancipation (24 years old).
Extension: Extension of stay for a child is granted in cases where economic dependence is proven even after the child is 24 years of age.
Permanent Status Based on a Marriage or Stable Union
WHO CAN APPLY?
Applicable to a foreigner who has a stable relationship with a Brazilian or another foreigner who has remained in Brazil.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO ADD DEPENDENTS?
The stable union does not extend to the financial dependents of the foreigner. In this case, it is necessary that a permanent status based on a Marriage or Stable Union is granted. Then the foreigner may request the permanence for their dependent based on Family Reunion.
Validity period: If you enter Brazil with a stable union visa, the validity period is 2 years. If the process is carried out with the applicant within the country, the validity is not defined.
Extension: Undefined.
