I shopped around a few immigration lawyers before hiring her and she was easily the most affordable — and honestly the most knowledgeable too. One other firm quoted me nearly double for basically the same service. Approved in about three weeks and I'm now set up in Rio de Janeiro.

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."},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"bestRating":5},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Mehdi Bouabbane"},"reviewBody":"Can't recommend Camila enough. You can tell she genuinely knows Brazilian immigration law, not just the basics. She caught that my proof of income letter was missing a specific clause the consulate requires and had me fix it before submitting — I never would've caught that on my own. Incredibly professional from start to finish. Already told everyone in my coworking space in Pipa about her."}],"address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressCountry":"BR","addressLocality":"Fortaleza","addressRegion":"CE"}},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://getbrazilvisa.com/faq#webpage","url":"https://getbrazilvisa.com/faq","name":"Brazil Digital Nomad Visa FAQ: Common Questions","description":"Plain-English answers to the most common Brazil VITEM XIV digital nomad visa questions: income, working, processing time, banking.
