Navigating the Relocation Process to Brazil:<br />
A Comprehensive Guide<br />
Authors: Danilo Rodrigues and Vanessa Coutinho, Fink <strong>Mobility</strong><br />
The mobility transference of expatriates to Brazil has become an increasingly<br />
relevant topic on the global stage, as companies seek to expand their operations<br />
into new markets and career opportunities transcend borders. However, this shift<br />
is not without its challenges this transition is not without its challenges. This<br />
article will examine the main difficulties faced by expatriates upon arriving in<br />
Brazil, including issues related to immigration, language, cultural differences, and<br />
additional challenges encountered in relocation services.<br />
Changes in the Immigration Sector<br />
In recent years, Brazil has undergone significant changes in its immigration sector<br />
to accommodate the arrival of expatriates. Following the pandemic, with growing<br />
demand and the need to attract foreign talent, the country has streamlined visa<br />
and residency processes, emphasising the modernisation and digitalisation of<br />
processes that were previously manual or in-person. Focusing primarily on privacy,<br />
security, and accessibility, this initiative is just one example of how Latin American<br />
countries are striving to tackle today's challenges competently and modernly.<br />
There is still much work to be done, but the future is digital, and governments are<br />
aware of this.<br />
However, there are still bureaucratic challenges that can hinder the process for<br />
expatriates, especially regarding obtaining necessary documents and authorisations<br />
to reside and work legally in Brazil. For example, through the Migranteweb<br />
tool (used to request residence periods in Brazil), significant delays have been<br />
experienced. Currently, the Brazilian government is in the process of changing the<br />
third-party company responsible for issuing CRNMs (Brazilian Immigrant ID’s). This<br />
means that it will take some time until services are normalised again. Therefore,<br />
during this period, we are unable to issue new CRNMs. FINK Mobilty and<br />
immigration providers should be monitoring closely the expiration dates of<br />
protocols and registration certificates so that extensions can be arranged after<br />
their expiration.<br />
