So I first reached out to GetBrazilVisa in probably about the end of February. And from the start, I experienced extremely reliable, consistent, and thorough communication from them, which was a big contrast in comparison to some of the other firms I reached out to, some of the bigger, more well-known firms, who didn't respond to me very quickly, didn't respond thoroughly with as much detail and thoughtfulness as Camila and her team at GetBrazilVisa did. So literally from the start I was very impressed by how they handled communication, and within hours of me reaching out they had already started asking for documents and reviewing them. So that experience continued throughout the whole time that I worked with them, which was literally from the end of February until the beginning of August when the visa was secured. And I can say there was literally not one moment where I was disappointed or frustrated or felt let down in the experience. Camila literally works tirelessly to make sure that you're going to get the best outcome you can. She's very detail oriented. And so with that being said, there were things in the application process to make the application the strongest that it could that I would have never thought I needed to know, and I do think that anyone who seriously wants to get this visa needs to work with them, because there's so much that I had no idea about the process to make the application stronger that they know. Camila is so knowledgeable, but not only is she knowledgeable and has a very strong work ethic, replies seems like almost instantly to every message I sent, but she cares so much, like genuinely cares if you receive the visa. And I think that's also what makes them stand apart, is it's not just another client for them, like they actually care if you get this visa. And so I would unequivocally work with them again in any situation, and I think you should too. Elizabeth, a US citizen from Upstate New York, applied for the Brazil digital nomad visa (VITEM XIV) from inside Brazil and was approved in August 2026. She first got in touch in February and chose to file at the end of her tourist stay, so the span she describes is her own timing rather than processing time. We stayed in touch throughout while she got ready. Timelines follow the client, in both directions: where a case is urgent and the key documents are already in hand, we have taken an application from first contact to **submitted in 24 hours**.

The same OAB-certified immigration lawyer now files four residency routes for foreigners moving to Brazil. ![Camila Araujo Mota, OAB-licensed Brazilian immigration lawyer](https://getbrazilvisa.com/camila-araujo-mota-lawyer.jpg) CAMILA ARAUJO MOTA · OAB/CE 50.065 ### Every application reviewed by a licensed Brazilian immigration lawyer Camila holds an OAB license and has filed the VITEM XIV digital nomad visa since the category was created in 2022, still the largest share of our cases. She now prepares and files all four residency routes, and personally reviews and validates every application, so nothing reaches immigration authorities with a mistake in it. OAB LicensedVITEM XIV since 2022Four residency routes HASSAN · CO-FOUNDER & DIGITAL NOMAD ### Lived experience across Latin America, in 5 languages Hassan has navigated immigration systems across Latin America as a nomad himself. Fluent in 5 languages, he understands the nuances, cultural differences, and specific hurdles applicants from different countries face. You're never just a form number. 5 LanguagesLatin America NomadCross-cultural expertise THE GETBRAZILVISA APPROACH ### We know what immigration authorities actually look for As a small, focused team, we've processed enough applications to know exactly what gets approved, and what gets flagged. No bloated firm overhead. No junior associates learning on your case. Just a tight, specialized operation built for speed, quality, and a price that makes sense. Fast turnaroundTransparent pricingSpecialized, not generalist Before you decide ## Why we recommend applying with a lawyer You can file the Brazil digital nomad visa yourself, and people are approved that way. Camila strengthens your application package, personalised to you and based on knowing what immigration authorities look for. We also help you avoid the lengthy **cartas de exigência** that immigration officers send, which we see many people deal with when they apply by themselves. ### Camila as your legal representative - A written petition A legal argument for your case citing RN 45/2021, signed under OAB/CE 50.065. A file without one is a form; a file with one is an argued case. - Your Brazilian criminal records Federal, plus one per Brazilian state you have lived in. Camila obtains them and files them with your application. - Sworn translations, by a tradutor público Only a publicly appointed translator counts. Both letters below ask for originals alongside translations, and one asks twice. - The forms checked before they are filed A blank justification, the wrong form, a date of birth that does not match the payment slip. All three are in the letters below. - Your document list, in order What each document is, where to get it, how long it takes, which need an apostille, and what to start first. - A lawyer who has read your file Answers come from the lawyer holding your case, not from a help desk working through a script. - The filing, and whatever comes back Camila files as your legal representative and answers the Ministry in your name. An exigência on a case she filed is her work, not yours. ### Hurdles on the way A **carta de exigência** is an immigration officer asking for more before they will decide. It is written for lawyers, and the case waits until every item is answered. Here are two recent examples we received from clients who applied on their own. Tap a letter to read it. Carta de exigência 2 pages · 5 items · July 2026 Sent the translation of the criminal record but not the original. Read the full letter Carta de exigência 3 pages · 9 items · May 2026 Criminal record: original and translation, for every country lived in over five years. Read the full letter Names, process numbers and timestamps have been removed. Everything the Ministry asked for is exactly as it was written. ### The Federal Police step, after approval Approval is not the last thing that happens. Your residence has to be registered in person with the Polícia Federal before your RNM card exists, and that step is its own process. - **The documents are not the ones you already sent.** The Federal Police ask for their own set, and assembling it correctly from outside the Brazilian system is where most people stall. - **What is required differs by state.** The unit that registers you in São Paulo does not ask for the same things as the one in Florianópolis, and the published guidance does not always match the counter. - **The appointment is the hard part.** Slots at the busy units open without warning and are taken quickly. Camila books yours. ## What it costs One package, one payment, whichever route you file: USD 599, paid once when you sign $599paid once Same price in Brazil (MigranteWeb) or abroad (consulate). Most big firms charge $75 just to talk to you, then $1,200 to $1,500 to file. This price covers Digital nomad (VITEM XIV)Retirement (RN 40/2019)Marriage & family reunion (VITEM XI) Investor cases ([VIPER](https://getbrazilvisa.com/brazil-investor-visa)) are quoted individually, because the file follows your investment. ### Full Service We handle everything end-to-end, including submission Stage 1 · Pre-application - Full dossier review and document preparation - OAB lawyer builds your case from scratch - CPF (Tax ID) guidance, incl. your Receita Federal visit - Health insurance selection guidance (consulate route) Stage 2 · Application - Full MigranteWeb submission (in Brazil), or consulate liaison + e-consular filing (abroad) - Our attorney's legal petition appended to strengthen your case - Translation coordination if requested Stage 3 · Post-application - Daily status monitoring and rejection handling - Federal Police visit guidance + CRNM (ID card) pickup - We handle any follow-up requests from immigration \* Direct line to Camila inside your case, same-day replies #### Not included - Sworn translations: approximately USD 30 to 40 per document - Government fees (GRUs): approximately USD 80 in total - Your criminal background certificate and its apostille: we do guide you step by step how to do this You pay $599 once, when you sign. \* We cover any follow-up requests immigration raises on your application, at no extra cost; the final decision always rests with Brazilian authorities.

I applied with her for the Brazil digital nomad visa from in-country as a US Citizen with W2 employment. Camila is an expert, very diligent, and responsive. Feels like a personal service in comparison to other experiences I have had with immigration attorneys in other countries. I will reuse Camila for my renewal or changing my residency type. I am happy to have found a fair and trustworthy lawyer here in Brazil! I highly recommend Camila (and GetBrazilVisa) for all immigration matters in Brazil. Thanks Camila!! I can’t recommend Camila highly enough. Her rates were extremely reasonable, and the level of care, responsiveness, and professionalism she provided was exceptional. I initially hired her to help me obtain a Digital Nomad Visa, but during the process I decided to switch to a Family Visa and apply for residency instead. Even though the scope of the work changed, she remained just as attentive and supportive throughout. In fact, I felt compelled to pay her more than our original agreement because I was so impressed with the value she provided. Camila kept my applications organized, ensured everything was filed on time, secured and prepared me for my appointments with the Federal Police, and made sure I had every document I could possibly need. Thanks to her, I successfully obtained both my visitor visa extension and my resident visa. She even went above and beyond by covering my appointment fees when I couldn’t pay with PIX as a foreigner. This was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a lawyer. Camila genuinely cares about her clients and stands with you every step of the way. If you need immigration assistance in Brazil, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. I moved to Brazil from Denmark on the digital nomad visa in October of 2025 with the help of Camila. She was very professional and even when I had to delay my arrival she accomodated and made sure I was taken care of. From preparing my documents to getting my Brazilian ID card, she helped me with every step. Thank you! without the help of camila and her legal team, I surely would have failed this visa process. The forms and requirements, And all the documents are so complicated you really need a legal advisor to help you do it correctly. I wish I had hired her at the start of the application instead of halfway through. I was working from USA running my company and wanted to try a year in Brazil. The digital nomad visa process looked manageable on paper but once I started dealing with getting my documents apostilled through the DVV and figuring out what the Brazilian consulate actually needed, I hit a wall. Camila sorted everything out and was super patient with my million questions. If you plan on moving to Brazil, I highly recommend their service.

DIY applications take 3-6 months and have ~85% approval rates due to document errors and MigranteWeb complexity. GetBrazilVisa reduces processing to ~30 days with a 95%+ approval rate through licensed attorney review of every document and direct MigranteWeb submission. ### What's included in your service plan? Full Service is a flat $599, paid once when you sign. It includes end-to-end guidance from our OAB-licensed lawyer, full document preparation, MigranteWeb submission on your behalf (or consulate liaison if you apply from abroad), rejection handling, daily monitoring, Federal Police and CRNM guidance, and a direct line to Camila inside your case plus email support. The price is the same for the in-Brazil MigranteWeb route and the consulate route. ### Do I need an immigration lawyer for the digital nomad visa? It's not required, but strongly recommended. Missing apostilles, incorrect translations, and MigranteWeb errors are the top 3 rejection reasons. A licensed Brazilian immigration lawyer catches these issues before submission, saving you $100-290 in reapplication fees. ### What happens if my application is rejected, do you help? Yes. Full Service covers any follow-up requests immigration raises on your application, at no extra cost: we review the request, correct or add the documentation, and respond for you. The final decision always rests with Brazilian authorities. Our 95%+ approval rate means rejections are rare. ### How long does processing take with GetBrazilVisa? Average processing is 30 days from complete document submission. This compares to 3-6 months for DIY applications. We handle MigranteWeb submission, government follow-up, and expedite wherever possible. ### Which of the four visa routes do I qualify for? Remote income from outside Brazil points to the digital nomad visa (VITEM XIV). A pension of about US$2,000 a month points to the retirement visa (RN 40/2019). A Brazilian spouse, partner, parent or child points to residency by marriage or family reunion (VITEM XI). Investment of BRL 500,000 in a company or BRL 700,000 in property points to the golden visa (VIPER). The free eligibility check asks eleven questions and Camila reads the answer before any fee is quoted. ### Will you handle the MigranteWeb submission for me? Full Service clients get complete MigranteWeb handling. We navigate the Portuguese-language government portal, upload all documents in the correct format, pay the GRU fee on your behalf, and monitor your application status until approval. ### Do you help with dependent visa applications for my family? Yes. We process spouse and children's dependent visas alongside your main application. Each dependent requires their own apostilled documents. We coordinate all family applications to be submitted and processed together. [Browse all Brazil visa FAQs](https://getbrazilvisa.com/faq) ## Ready to Start Your Brazil Journey?

I applied with her for the Brazil digital nomad visa from in-country as a US Citizen with W2 employment.\n\nCamila is an expert, very diligent, and responsive. Feels like a personal service in comparison to other experiences I have had with immigration attorneys in other countries.\n\nI will reuse Camila for my renewal or changing my residency type. I am happy to have found a fair and trustworthy lawyer here in Brazil!

Her rates were extremely reasonable, and the level of care, responsiveness, and professionalism she provided was exceptional.\n\nI initially hired her to help me obtain a Digital Nomad Visa, but during the process I decided to switch to a Family Visa and apply for residency instead. Even though the scope of the work changed, she remained just as attentive and supportive throughout. In fact, I felt compelled to pay her more than our original agreement because I was so impressed with the value she provided.\n\nCamila kept my applications organized, ensured everything was filed on time, secured and prepared me for my appointments with the Federal Police, and made sure I had every document I could possibly need. Thanks to her, I successfully obtained both my visitor visa extension and my resident visa.\n\nShe even went above and beyond by covering my appointment fees when I couldn’t pay with PIX as a foreigner.\n\nThis was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a lawyer. Camila genuinely cares about her clients and stands with you every step of the way. If you need immigration assistance in Brazil, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her."},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"bestRating":5},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"DJ"},"reviewBody":"I moved to Brazil from Denmark on the digital nomad visa in October of 2025 with the help of Camila.

She compares the firm to larger practices she contacted and describes the document review. She first made contact in February and chose to file at the end of her tourist stay, so the months she refers to are her own timing rather than visa processing time. Her visa was secured in August 2026.","thumbnailUrl":["https://getbrazilvisa.com/assets/elizabeth-testimonial-poster-DYt8ov_t.webp"],"contentUrl":"https://media.getbrazilvisa.com/elizabeth-testimonial-v1.mp4","uploadDate":"2026-09-01","duration":"PT2M8S","transcript":"Hi, my name is Elizabeth and I'm from Upstate New York. So I first reached out to GetBrazilVisa in probably about the end of February. And from the start, I experienced extremely reliable, consistent, and thorough communication from them, which was a big contrast in comparison to some of the other firms I reached out to, some of the bigger, more well-known firms, who didn't respond to me very quickly, didn't respond thoroughly with as much detail and thoughtfulness as Camila and her team at GetBrazilVisa did. So literally from the start I was very impressed by how they handled communication, and within hours of me reaching out they had already started asking for documents and reviewing them. So that experience continued throughout the whole time that I worked with them, which was literally from the end of February until the beginning of August when the visa was secured. And I can say there was literally not one moment where I was disappointed or frustrated or felt let down in the experience. Camila literally works tirelessly to make sure that you're going to get the best outcome you can. She's very detail oriented. And so with that being said, there were things in the application process to make the application the strongest that it could that I would have never thought I needed to know, and I do think that anyone who seriously wants to get this visa needs to work with them, because there's so much that I had no idea about the process to make the application stronger that they know. Camila is so knowledgeable, but not only is she knowledgeable and has a very strong work ethic, replies seems like almost instantly to every message I sent, but she cares so much, like genuinely cares if you receive the visa. And I think that's also what makes them stand apart, is it's not just another client for them, like they actually care if you get this visa. And so I would unequivocally work with them again in any situation, and I think you should too.","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"GetBrazilVisa","url":"https://getbrazilvisa.com","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://getbrazilvisa.com/logo.webp"}},"inLanguage":"en","isFamilyFriendly":true,"about":{"@type":"Service","name":"Brazil Digital Nomad Visa (VITEM XIV) application service","provider":{"@id":"https://getbrazilvisa.com/#organization"}}}]} ```
