Cost 2026 # Brazil Digital Nomad Visa Cost 2026: Every Fee You'll Pay The complete 2026 cost breakdown: government fees, document expenses, professional services, and hidden costs nobody tells you about. The total cost of a Brazil digital nomad visa (VITEM XIV) ranges from **$433 to $1,159 USD** depending on your nationality and whether you apply at a consulate abroad or through MigranteWeb inside Brazil. Government fees are fixed by Brazilian law. Document costs (criminal background check, apostille, translations) vary by country. Professional service fees are optional. GetBrazilVisa's Full Service starts at **$499**, less than half what most immigration lawyers charge. Last updated: May 2026 Fees verified with Consulates 50+ applications processed ![Camila Araujo Mota - Brazilian Immigration Lawyer](/assets/camila-headshot-BJfahbXt.webp) Camila Araujo Mota OAB-Licensed Immigration Lawyer · [OAB/CE 50.065](https://cna.oab.org.br/) WhatsApp Free ConsultationSend your case to Camila Camila (OAB-licensed Brazilian immigration lawyer) personally replies to every message, typically within 2 hours. Table of Contents ## Total Cost Summary: Consulate vs MigranteWeb There are two application routes for the VITEM XIV and they have materially different cost profiles. Applying at a Brazilian consulate abroad involves a visa sticker fee of $290–$500 plus your domestic document costs. Applying in-country through MigranteWeb after arriving on a tourist entry involves the GRU processing fee of R$168.13 (~$33 USD) plus a CRNM residence card fee of R$204.77 (~$40 USD). | Cost Category | Consulate Route | MigranteWeb Route | | --- | --- | --- | | Government fees | $290–$500 (visa fee) | $73 (GRU + CRNM) | | Document costs | $100–$300 (BGC + apostille + translation) | $100–$300 (same documents) | | Health insurance (1 year) | $600–$2,400 | $600–$2,400 | | Professional service (optional) | $149–$1,500 | $149–$1,500 | | Total (DIY, no insurance) | $400–$900 | $200–$400 | | Total (with GetBrazilVisa + 1yr insurance) | $1,500–$2,500 | $1,200–$2,000 | Practical Interpretation The MigranteWeb route is consistently $200–$400 USD cheaper than the consulate route because the Brazilian government fees for in-country processing are lower. However, you need to be physically in Brazil on a valid tourist entry to use it, and the portal is Portuguese-only. For most clients, the savings justify arriving first and applying in-country, particularly since the 180-day tourist entry gives you plenty of time to prepare documents and attend biometrics. ## Government Fees Breakdown The Brazilian government charges four distinct fees across the two application routes. Not all of them apply to every applicant. Which ones you pay depends on where you apply and which processing path you use. | Fee | Amount | When It Applies | Paid To | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | GRU (MigranteWeb processing fee) | R$168.13 (~$33 USD) | Required for all in-country applications | Ministry of Justice | | CRNM residence card issuance | R$204.77 (~$40 USD) | Paid after approval to Federal Police | Polícia Federal | | eVisa fee (if applying online abroad) | $80.90 USD | For eligible nationalities applying through eVisa portal | VFS/Itamaraty | | Consulate visa sticker (abroad) | $290–$500 USD | Varies by consulate: US $290, UK £245, AU $440 | Brazilian Consulate | Official Rule The GRU amount of R$168.13 and CRNM amount of R$204.77 are set by Brazilian federal regulation (Portaria Interministerial MJ/MF). These are periodically adjusted for inflation. Always verify the current amount on the [Portal de Imigração](https://portaldeimigracao.mj.gov.br) before paying. Non-refundable if rejected Every government fee is non-refundable. If the Ministry of Justice denies your MigranteWeb application, the R$168.13 GRU payment is forfeited. If a consulate refuses your visa, the $290–$500 visa fee is forfeited. Double-check your documentation before paying any government fee. A second submission means paying again. ## Document Costs (Variable by Country) Document costs are the most variable part of the VITEM XIV application because they depend entirely on your country of citizenship and where the documents are issued. A US citizen pays $18 for an FBI background check; a UK citizen pays £23 for a DBS certificate; a German citizen pays €13 for a Führungszeugnis. Apostille costs vary even more dramatically: some US states charge $20, others $100. Budget the high end to avoid surprises. | Document | Low | High | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Criminal background check | $18 | $50 | FBI IdentityHistory $18, UK DBS £23, Canada RCMP C$25 | | Apostille (per document) | $20 | $100 | US state-by-state, UK £45 FCDO, varies by country | | Sworn Portuguese translation | R$150 | R$300 | Per document, tradutor juramentado (~$30–$60 USD) | | Health insurance (monthly) | $50 | $200 | SafetyWing, World Nomads, Allianz; must include Brazil coverage | | Passport photos (3x4 cm) | $10 | $25 | Multiple copies, white background | | Notary fees (self-declaration) | $15 | $50 | Required for the self-declaration of remote work | Practical Interpretation Health insurance is the single largest variable in the total cost. A budget option like SafetyWing runs about $50/month, while comprehensive expat plans from Allianz or Cigna can exceed $200/month. The VITEM XIV requires $30,000 USD minimum coverage valid in Brazil, not any cheaper travel insurance. See our [Health Insurance Guide](/brazil-digital-nomad-visa-health-insurance) for vetted providers. ## Professional Service Costs (Optional) You are not required to hire professional help for the VITEM XIV. Applicants who are organized, fluent in Portuguese (for MigranteWeb), and comfortable navigating immigration portals can apply entirely on their own. That said, the most common reason applications are rejected is documentation errors that a professional review would have caught, and the government fees are non-refundable. | Service Type | Price Range | What's Included | | --- | --- | --- | | Traditional immigration lawyer | $1,500–$3,500 | Full service, 1-on-1 consultation, court-ready | | Visa agency / concierge | $600–$1,500 | Document coordination, no legal advice | | GetBrazilVisa Full Service | $499 | Lawyer-reviewed package, AI document scanner, MigranteWeb submission | | GetBrazilVisa Document Review | $149 | AI scanner + human sanity check, you submit | | DIY (no help) | $0 | You do everything yourself | Practical Interpretation The $499 GetBrazilVisa Full Service is priced to be the break-even point where the cost of professional review equals the cost of losing the GRU fee and redoing documents after a rejection. If you are confident in your paperwork, DIY is fine. If your income documentation is unconventional (freelance, crypto, irregular), the $499 typically pays for itself by catching issues before submission.

These figures cover government fees, background check, and apostille only. Insurance and service fees are additional. | Nationality | Visa/Gov Fee | BGC | Apostille | Est. Total | Route | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | United States | $290 | $18 | $20–$60 | $433–$533 | Consulate abroad | | United Kingdom | £245 (~$310) | £23 (~$29) | £45 (~$57) | $520–$620 | Consulate abroad | | Canada | C$210 (~$155) | C$25 (~$18) | C$40 (~$30) | $400–$500 | Consulate abroad | | Australia | A$440 (~$290) | A$42 (~$28) | A$93 (~$62) | $530–$650 | Consulate abroad | | Germany / EU | €80 (~$87) | €13 (~$14) | €25 (~$27) | $300–$420 | Consulate abroad | | Any (MigranteWeb) | R$168.13 (~$33) | $18–$50 | $20–$100 | $400–$600 | In-country via MigranteWeb | Totals exclude health insurance and professional services. Add $600–$2,400 for 12 months of health insurance. Add $149–$499 for optional GetBrazilVisa packages. ## Hidden Costs Nobody Talks About Beyond the obvious line items, there are several smaller costs that surprise applicants. Individually, none of them are large. Collectively, they can add $200–$500 to your total budget. - Currency conversion fees Paying $290 at a US consulate costs you the listed amount. Paying R$168.13 from a foreign bank costs you the amount plus a 3–5% conversion markup plus a $5–$15 wire transfer fee. Always use Wise, Revolut, or a low-fee Brazilian-linked account when paying Brazilian fees from abroad. - Document courier and shipping Criminal background checks and apostilled documents often need to be couriered between your home country, the apostille authority, and the consulate or Brazil. Budget $40–$150 for domestic and international courier fees across the application lifecycle. - Photocopies and printing MigranteWeb requires digital uploads, but biometrics appointments at the Federal Police often require printed copies of your application and supporting documents. Budget $20–$50 for a local copy shop in Brazil. - Biometrics travel The Federal Police station where you book your biometrics may not be in the city where you are staying. Domestic bus or flight travel to attend the appointment can add $30–$200, especially for applicants staying in smaller cities without a Polícia Federal unit. - Portuguese translation re-dos If the immigration analyst rejects a translation (wrong format, missing translator registration number, outdated stamp), you pay again. Budget a 10–20% buffer on translation costs for potential redo. - CPF issuance While the CPF itself is free, some international applicants pay $20–$50 to third-party services to handle the registration. See our CPF Guide for free routes. ## Dependent Costs: Spouse & Children Dependents apply through the VITEM XIV family reunion path and each dependent triggers additional government and document fees. The income threshold also increases by $60 USD per dependent per month. Official Rule Resolution CNIg 45/2021 requires an additional $60 USD per dependent per month on top of the $1,500 base. A primary applicant with a spouse and one child needs to prove $1,620/month ($1,500 + $60 + $60). | Item per Dependent | Cost | | --- | --- | | Additional GRU (MigranteWeb) | R$168.13 (~$33 USD) | | Additional CRNM card | R$204.77 (~$40 USD) | | Additional consulate visa fee (if applying abroad) | Same as primary ($290–$500) | | Marriage/birth certificate apostille | $20–$100 | | Sworn Portuguese translation of civil documents | $30–$60 per document | | Additional health insurance | $50–$200/month | | Additional income requirement | $60 USD/month | For full detail on dependent applications, see: [Brazil Digital Nomad Visa for Families](/brazil-digital-nomad-visa-family). ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is the cheapest way to get the Brazil Digital Nomad Visa? ### Are the government fees refundable if my application is rejected? ### Do I need to pay in Brazilian Reais or US Dollars? ### Two ways to start with Camila Camila Araujo Mota, OAB-licensed Brazilian immigration lawyer, personally reviews every case.

The GRU government fee is R$168.13 (~$33 USD) plus R$204.77 (~$40 USD) for the CRNM residence card, which is significantly less than the $290–$500 consulate visa fee charged abroad.

If your application is rejected, you lose those fees and must pay again for any resubmission. This is one of the reasons we strongly recommend a thorough document review before submitting.

Health insurance, apostille, and translation fees are paid in whatever currency the provider invoices. Budget a 3–5% buffer for currency conversion and international transaction fees."}}]}]} ```
