Skilled Migration in Brazil

Your result

Possible

Until there is an offer there is nothing to file, because on this route the employer is the applicant — but the waiting time is worth using, since the documents are the slow part and they are all things you can start now.

What to get moving: apostilles and sworn translations of your degrees and professional qualifications, letters from previous employers confirming your roles and dates, and criminal record certificates from wherever you have lived. These routinely take longer than the immigration decision itself, and having them ready is often what lets an employer say yes without hesitating.

It is also worth knowing what the employer will be asked for, so you can tell them: the petition is theirs to file, through the immigration ministry's online system, and the assessment looks at whether your qualifications and experience match the role. Employers who have not done it before tend to overestimate the burden.

And check whether you need the offer at all. If you are a national of most South American countries, a residence agreement gives you residence without any job offer, which means you could be in Brazil and looking for work rather than waiting for an offer from outside. If you hold a degree from a Brazilian institution, there is a route of its own for you too.

Tell us your nationality, what the expected role is, and which documents you already hold, and we will tell you what to prepare and whether a route without the offer is open to you.
