Where the visa stands
Brazil offers a digital nomad category for qualifying remote work connected to an overseas employer or business. The published financial options include income or available funds.
Start with your work plans
The financial test is US$1,500 per month in foreign income or US$18,000 in available funds. The income map compares only the monthly earnings option. The foreign-work and document requirements remain separate.
Describe who pays you, where your employer or clients are based and what you would do while living abroad. Use those details when checking the official route. Employer approval and immigration permission are separate questions.
Employer approval and immigration permission are separate questions.
Take the first application step
Read the official digital nomad checklist, then use the Brazilian consulate serving your residence for local submission and fee instructions.
Consular fees and procedures depend on the responsible post and applicant category. The savings alternative is not monthly income.
Keep two money questions separate
The visa income test concerns the evidence required for an application. A living budget concerns your housing, healthcare, transport and daily spending. Compare both before committing to a move.
This briefing reorganizes the existing visa summary. It does not represent a new source review. The visa section of the guide keeps the original review dates and qualifications.
