Immigrants from Portuguese-speaking countries intending to travel to Brazil will face more lenient visa requirements following a decision by Brazilian authorities to ease visas for them. The new changes come after the Minister of Justice and Public Security, Flávio Dino, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mauro Vieira, recently signed a new Interministerial Ordinance. This ordinance outlines the procedures for granting temporary visas and residence authorization to individuals from the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP).
The CPLP includes the following nine countries: 1. Angola2. Brazil
3. Cape Verde
4. Guinea-Bissau
5. Equatorial Guinea
6. Mozambique
7. Portugal
8. São Tomé and PrÃncipe
9. Timor-Leste
This measure is part of the Agreement on Mobility between the Member States of the CPLP and is set to take effect on October 2. The temporary visa, known as a CPLP Residence visa, will be valid for one year and can be granted to highly qualified research professors, technicians, businesspeople, cultural agents, exchange students, and other eligible individuals. The CPLP Residence visa will have a two-year duration and must be formally applied for in person by the immigrant or their legal representative.
