Brazilian citizenship for children born abroad to at least one Brazilian parent. Limited to 1 generation — only children of Brazilian citizens qualify, not grandchildren. Two pathways: (1) consular registration at birth (automatic), or (2) later registration in Brazil combined with a formal declaration of intent to be Brazilian after age 18. A Brazilian parent serving the government abroad confers automatic citizenship regardless.
Very strict 1-generation limit: only children of Brazilian citizens qualify, not grandchildren or further. If not registered at a consulate at birth, the person must physically move to Brazil and formally opt for Brazilian nationality after turning 18. Digital consular registration expanded in 2025 to simplify the process worldwide. Brazil does not have E-2 treaty with the US. Brazilian passport ranks well for Latin American travel but has fewer visa-free European/Asian destinations than EU passports.
