On May 17, the Brazilian government published two new normative resolutions to immigration law. The new resolutions, which are already in effect, make some changes to its work visas and create a new visa category for short-term postgraduate student workers.
Normative Resolution, No. 104, makes several changes to the regulations that govern existing work visas. The changes apply to all work visas and include:
The government also published Normative Resolution, No. 103, creates a new “summer job” visa category for postgraduate students interested in doing short-term work in Brazil over summer vacation. To be eligible, the student must be enrolled in a masters- or doctorate-level course that requires at least 360 hours of instruction. In addition, the student must have a contract with a Brazilian company. The new visa will be valid for 90 days and cannot be renewed.
It is not clear yet how these new resolutions will be interpreted or implemented by the government, especially in reference to electronic processing. BAL will provide updates as they become available.
