Why Employers and Foreign Professionals Trust Oliveira Lawyers
- Judgment and experience that matter. We assess the proposed duties, employer arrangements, pay, and assignment length. The right route depends on the actual work, not just the job title or the intended arrival date.
- An attorney responsible for your case, with progress you can follow. Our attorneys and team coordinate employer and applicant records, applications, and authority responses. Your online board shows documents and the next steps.
- Staffed offices in Brazil, with support abroad. Our Brazilian offices provide local support, while our U.S. offices coordinate documents such as background checks, certificates, and apostilles.
- Support at your Federal Police appointment. We prepare registration documents and coordinate the appointment when residence registration is required. Professional accompaniment is available in all major Brazilian cities.
- A relationship that makes the next step easier. From assignment renewals and employment questions to family residency, rely on a firm familiar with your business and your move. Related legal services are agreed separately.

Understanding Work Visas in Brazil
Brazil has a history of hyper-regulation of labor relations and potential fines and legal liability for those who do not follow the many applicable laws and regulations.
It is key that foreign companies engaging with local companies in Brazil retain qualified licensed counsel to advise on the immigration aspects of work in Brazil as well as for the actual applications for the needed work visas, authorizations, and permits.
