GENERAL RULES
- Internships consist in supervised educational activities, developed within a professional environment, aimed at preparing students who are regularly attending higher education institutions for productive work.
- For internships with duration of up to 90 days, the applicant must request a Visitor Visa (VIVIS). Norwegian and Icelandic passport holders are exempt from Visitor Visas (VIVIS); therefore, they do not need to obtain a visa if the internship lasts for up to 90 days. Other nationalities must check the visa requirements table (click here).
- Foreign nationals who are already in Brazil can apply for residence permit for the purposes of study / internship directly with the Federal Police.
- Internship / study visa holders are permitted to undertake paid work, as long as the working hours are compatible with the internship / course load.
- This type of visa authorises the student to take on an internship at a specific institution. If the intern would like to switch to another institution, the Federal Police must be contacted.
