Skilled Migration in Brazil

The Verdict: Unlikely

Without a job offer, skilled migration is a long shot: Brazil has no points system or self-nominated work visa. If you can work remotely for clients abroad, look at the digital nomad route.

Being employable is not a basis for residence by itself. If a Brazilian employer does offer you a job, the company files the application and this route opens.

Other routes: remote work at US$1,500 a month or US$18,000 in savings; investment from R$150,000 for an innovation or research business; family reunion with a Brazilian spouse, partner or child. If a parent or grandparent was Brazilian, take the descent quiz first.
