Written and legally reviewed by [Camila Araújo Mota](https://getbrazilvisa.com/camila-araujo-mota), Brazilian Immigration Lawyer · OAB/CE 50.065 · Reviewed September 9, 2026 Yes, most Brazilian consulates and the MigranteWeb portal ask for proof of where you will stay in Brazil as part of the VITEM XIV application, but you do not need a long-term lease. Accepted evidence includes a hotel reservation, an Airbnb or short-term rental booking covering your arrival period, a signed rental contract, or a declaração de hospedagem (a declaration of hospitality) from a friend or relative who is hosting you. The document simply needs to show an address and the dates of your stay. Requirements vary slightly by consulate, so a short, refundable booking you can change later is usually the simplest way to satisfy this without committing to housing before you arrive. ## What counts as proof - A hotel reservation covering your arrival dates. - An Airbnb or short-term rental booking (refundable is ideal). - A signed rental contract, if you have already arranged housing. - A declaração de hospedagem, a hosting declaration from a friend or relative in Brazil, with their address. ## Do you need a long lease? No. You are not expected to lock in permanent housing before you even have the visa. A booking for your first week or two is enough to show an address and dates.

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.
