Visa overview
If the intended stay exceeds 90 days, a temporary visa (VITEM) must be requested. Temporary Visas are broken down into sub-categories (VITEM I to VITEM XIII), according to specific travel purposes and lengths of stay. VITEM holders must register with the Federal Police within 90 days from first entry. Upon registration in Brazil, a document containing both parents’ full names (e.g. full birth certificate) might be requested. In that case, the document should be first apostilled / legalised by the competent authority in the issuing country and subsequently translated into Portuguese by a sworn translator ("tradutor juramentado") in Brazil.
