Brazil · Visto Temporário XIV — Aposentadoria ou Pensão por Morte · Retirement · apply online, in person · processing up to 180 days
Temporary residence for a foreign retiree, or for a person who receives a survivor pension, who can transfer at least USD 2,000 a month in foreign currency to Brazil. The first residence term is up to two years. It can then be changed to indefinite-term residence if that income continues.
Resolução Normativa CNIg 40/2019 replaced the old R$6,000 rule. The floor is USD 2,000 a month, in foreign currency, actually transferable to Brazil. A shortfall can be topped up with other regular income. There is no extra amount per family member on this visa. Spouse, children of any age, and parents or grandparents apply separately under Portaria Interministerial 12/2018; their residence ends when the sponsor's does, until the sponsor holds indefinite-term residence. Health insurance valid in Brazil and a police certificate are required. Register with the Federal Police within 90 days of arrival. An absence of more than two years without justification can end the residence. Ordinary naturalization counts four years only after indefinite-term residence starts, so the earliest ordinary path is about six years from this visa, with Portuguese communication. In-country processing fee R$168.13 (about USD 34) plus the CRNM card R$204.77 (about USD 41). Consular visa stickers are charged by reciprocity and are not included. Worldwide tax applies after tax residency, which for a temporary visa is 184 days in a 12-month period. Language: Portuguese communication; several documentary forms are accepted.
Brazil also offers a digital nomad visa for remote workers
