Areas of Practice

Consultancy for requesting and renewing a residence permit for work purposes.

Law 13,445/2017 and Decree 9,199/2017 govern the status of immigrants in Brazil and establish the legal authority of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security for Residence Permits for Work Purposes.

Therefore, situations of labor migration, prior residence for the purposes of granting a visa or residence, are analyzed by the General Coordination of Immigration (CGIg).

This process generally involves the presentation of documentation that proves the job offer, in addition to specific requirements of the destination country, such as proof of professional qualifications and adaptation to the local market. Obtaining this authorization not only regulates the worker's stay, but also guarantees labor rights and access to social services.

Naturalization

Naturalization is the process by which a foreigner voluntarily acquires Brazilian nationality, provided that they meet certain legal requirements. In Brazil, there are four main types:

Ordinary naturalization: for those who have resided in the country for at least 4 years, with the possibility of reducing the period to 1 year in cases such as marriage to a Brazilian or having a Brazilian child.

Extraordinary naturalization: for foreigners who have lived in Brazil for more than 15 uninterrupted years and without criminal convictions.

Provisional naturalization: for children or adolescents who arrived in Brazil before the age of 10.

Conversion of provisional naturalization into definitive naturalization: occurs when the young person reaches the age of majority and confirms their desire to become Brazilian.
