The Verdict: Need More Info
Your case turns on how the project reads against criteria that are not currently published. Get a written commitment from the Brazilian body backing it, and we will check the current requirements.
Brazilian law gives residence for activity of economic, social, scientific, technological or cultural relevance (Decreto 9.199/2017, art. 152). Since October 2025 its requirements are set by a joint act of the justice and foreign ministries, and we could not find a published version of that act.
The assessment is discretionary and measured against a Brazilian interest, so the stronger the Brazilian institutional backing, the better. Projects presented only on the applicant's own account do poorly.
