This type of visa may be issued exclusively to qualified foreign professionals required to provide technology transfer services to a company based in Brazil, with no employment relationship, by virtue of contract or agreement with the company.

Only after the authorisation is received by the Consulate will the applicant be able to lodge the visa application itself.
