Digital Nomad Visa Migrante Web

As part of my plan for staying in Brazil under the Digital Nomad Visa, I would like to stay in AirBnB's in various cities during my time in Brazil.  Would the Federal Police accept a AirBnB booking and address as a proof of address in Brazil under this program?  If not, what would I need in order to register with the Federal Police?

Has anyone of you created such a document before? Is it "just" a letter/statement I write myself? Or what do you think?

* and continued by using the exact wording in the law required for this declaration, which is about having "a capacidade de executar suas atividades profissionais de forma remota, por meio de tecnologias da informação e de comunicação" and I have added another paragraph repeating this information and assuring this availability in different phrases

Request a Change of Address

What a mess of of a process.  Not worth to go thru all the hoops.  Just apply for the student visa. There are many immigration companies that will assit you in getting this with minimal studies required. Even if you fail or drop out. you still have the visa.     

I applied for my DN visa and after filling out the migrant web application and providing an extensive applications,  they questionnined every previous trip i made in the past asked me why i worked as a tourist for 3 years (6 months in 6 months away)  where I went in brazil where did I stay what did I do.   Really. it is just not worth all the hassle and costs.    I recommend just doing the student visa - allows you to do the same as digitial nomad and has less requirements

can anybody recommend a trusting and not too expensive immigration lawyer in Belo Horizonte- Brazil to assist with Visa/Residency procedures? Or is it easy to do it by ourselves?

@Daring12 m

Could you ask your lawyer if he has a colleague that he can recommend in the city of Belo Horizonte?

Where is your lawyer’s office and how much did he charge you? I got a REALLY high price-quote for assistance with paperwork to apply for residency in the Minas Gerais’s capital.

Mike, a Nomad visa is a permanent visa that allows you to work. You may not work under a student visa. and if not enrolled in class you must exit Brazil.

In principle the process should be easy, if you qualify for the type of residency that you're requesting, and all of your documents are in your hands and in order.  What's the basis for your residency application?

It's not clear from your description whether your were applying for a DN visa at a Brazilian Consulate in Canada, or for an Authorization of Residency as a DN with the Federal Police while in Brazil.  Their processes are somewhat different, and certainly they would have questions about past visas, and about the status of your current visa if you were already in-country.  The questions probably would have been sharper at the Federal Police, because the Digital Nomad visa has been around long enough now that they would expect applicants to have already been pre-cleared by a Consulate.  Not having gone through a Consulate would already be one red flag.

I wouldn't put too much faith in immigration companies that will help someone get a student visa "with minimal study required".  As Texanbrazil said, employment isn't allowed on a student visa, and we're seeing stronger enforcement against foreigners trying to finesse the rules.

@worldsoundly You managed to get a cpf whilst applying for the visa, I thought you could only get that once you have a visa?

-@ltoby955

Forgeiners may get a CPF at your consulates or while in Brazil at the RF or even the post office,

@Texanbrazil Ah thanks, I guess then you have to make tax returns even if you don't get the visa ?

No, Has nothing to do about filing taxes. ( except when you need to file)

Cpf is needed for many things Such as getting a cell plan/phone. Using mail service

Only time I use it was for vaccinations SUS site, open bank accounts., sometime caxia@ mercado will ask for it but you do not need it,

-@Texanbrazil

Correct.  Expats from the US tend to call it a "Brazilian Tax ID" because it's roughly equivalent to a similar number used there, and issued by the Receita Federal, which is equivalent to the IRS.  Probably a bad habit, except that "Brazilian Tax ID" is more descriptive than its real name, "CPF", which is the acronym for "Physical Person Registration" -- "Cadastro de Pessoa Física".  You DO need it if you're liable for Brazilian income taxes, but just having one doesn't make you liable.  More and more, you just need one for daily life in Brazil.

@abthree Thanks to you and Texan, you have an ongoing issue with Azul and can't progress without the CPF. Great that I don't have to file a tax return as presently I am just visiting.

Hello! Coming into this thread late but really need some help with this digital nomad visa. Desperately need some help!!

I'm stuck on Migrante Web (figured this would be an easy process after I've already been to the Policia Federal twice and this is where they told me to go). I was able to make an account but have no idea where to go from here, literally on the first page of the form. I have no idea what to select for type of Residence?

If someone could give me a quick rundown of what I need to select/any important things to know afterwards and to make this as quick as possible (I'm meant to go to Argentina in 3 weeks...), it would be GREATLY appreciated.

@Aneen Marina If you're not failiar ho to use the website or form, at this point my advice would be to go see someone who specialises in immigration to help you with the forms.  It won't be chep however the form is relatively self explanatory.    You may want to seek professional advice and guidance how to use the form if you can't youself.

@Texanbrazil Under the DN Visa you cannot work for any Brazilian company however nowhere does is restrict you from having funds elsewhere.

Is the digital nomad visa impossible for Americans? The State Department's processing time for Apostilles exceeds Brazil's criminal history check duration validity.

According to state department website, the apostille:"Processing Times: We will process your request in 10 to 11 weeks from the date we receive it. We are offering mail-in service but we are not currently offering in-person appointment service"

According to Brazil's requirements: "Certificate of Criminal Record... Police checks are valid for up to 3 months from the date of issue."

Wtf?

12/09/22  Welcome, nullpointerexception.  If you're requesting a Digital Nomad visa through a Brazilian Consulate in the United States, no apostille is required.

If you're requesting the Federal Police to process you in Brazil as a Digital Nomad, (or requesting the visa at a Brazilian Consulate outside the United States) they're willing to show a certain amount of flexibility on the three month deadline, especially in view of the State Department's statement; it would help for you to have a printout of that page from State's website when you go.

By "flexibility", I mean that the apostille was requested before the document was 90 days old, and that you present it to the Federal Police shortly after the date of the apostille.  Up to a month or so after probably won't be a problem, once you explain it; the longer you delay after the date of the apostille, the more difficult it's likely to become.

Thanks abthree. I'm indeed applying from outside the USA, so I will need to rely on that flexibility.

Hi @abthree, Everyone, I'm new here.

I have applied for the DN residency and get a response after 3 weeks, stating;

Residence Permit Application Form, according to Annex I, signed by the interested party or his legal representative

Considering that the document presented does not correspond to the documentation required by the Normative Resolution, submit a Residence Authorization Application Form, according to Annex I, of RN 45/2021, signed by the interested party or his legal representative.

Where can I see and fill the form online and submit? I thought I had filled the right form.

Also got this response;

Criminal record certificates or equivalent document issued by the competent judicial authority from which you have resided in the last five years.

Present criminal record certificates or equivalent document issued by the competent judicial authority from which you have resided IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS.

I have already submitted the certificate from Federal police, and the State of São Paulo, I'm not sure what this requirement is, unless they are requesting one from my home country. (I have been staying in Brazil for 9 months now).

Lastly, the third response was;

Document proving your affiliation, duly legalized and translated by a sworn public translator, unless the information is already contained in the document referred to in item II of Art. 4, of Resolution 45/2021

IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT THE DOCUMENTATION HAS NOT BEEN PRESENTED, present a Document proving your affiliation, unless the information is already contained in the document referred to in item II, of art. 4, of R 45/2021.

I am really not sure how to go about this last part.

12/23/22  Welcome, Obirije.  The answers to your Digital Nomad application questions appear below:

Residence Permit Application Form, according to Annex I, signed by the interested party or his legal representative
Considering that the document presented does not correspond to the documentation required by the Normative Resolution, submit a Residence Authorization Application Form, according to Annex I, of RN 45/2021, signed by the interested party or his legal representative.
Where can I see and fill the form online and submit? I thought I had filled the right form.

The form appears at the bottom of this Resolution:

https://www.in.gov.br/web/dou/-/resoluc … -375554693

You should probably print it, complete it, sign it, scan it, and upload the scan as part of your application.

Also got this response;
Criminal record certificates or equivalent document issued by the competent judicial authority from which you have resided in the last five years.
Present criminal record certificates or equivalent document issued by the competent judicial authority from which you have resided IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
I have already submitted the certificate from Federal police, and the State of São Paulo, I'm not sure what this requirement is, unless they are requesting one from my home country. (I have been staying in Brazil for 9 months now).

Criminal Background Checks are required from all countries where you have lived at any time during the five years previous to your application.  That includes your home country, and anywhere else where you've lived during that time.

Lastly, the third response was;
Document proving your affiliation, duly legalized and translated by a sworn public translator, unless the information is already contained in the document referred to in item II of Art. 4, of Resolution 45/2021
IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT THE DOCUMENTATION HAS NOT BEEN PRESENTED, present a Document proving your affiliation, unless the information is already contained in the document referred to in item II, of art. 4, of R 45/2021.

This refers to your birth certificate or a similar legal document that shows the names of both of your parents.  This is required from every applicant, unless the names of their parents already appear on their passports.

@Texanbrazil Got my CPF that way.

Thank you so much @abthree, really appreciate the clarification.

Hi @abthree, it looks like my DN residency has been approved, and it has a status of PUBLICADO where can I see where its published, fyi, I've not received any email yet

-@Obirije

Congratulations!  It's probably published in the Diário Oficial da União. Search for your name over the past few days here:

Thanks @abthree, I've seen my name published.

Quick question, I applied single and I would be getting married in a few weeks, how would my wife benefit from the residency now? would she need to apply for a visa to come to Brazil?

Fyi, I'm back in my home country to meet her and we are planning to come back to Brazil together.
