VISAS FOR DIGITAL NOMADS
"Digital nomad" is the term used to describe a traveler who intends to perform remote work while residing in another country.
Brazil offers to digital nomads a large number of innovation hubs for remote work, such as coworking spaces, opportunities for networking with companies in innovation, a population with widespread (over 80%) access to the Internet, a moderate cost of living for expatriates, the presence of global cities, and various options for tourism.
To request a visa to live in Brazil and work as a digital nomad, the applicant must collect the following documents:
