How to Get a Brazil Work Visa at the Chicago Consulate

Brazil Work Visa Chicago Consulate

Brazil Work Visa Chicago Consulate

The Chicago Consulate serves the States of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

This visa is for people looking to work (making money) in Brazil.  In a nutshell, getting a work visa in Brazil is a headache.  You have to find a job in Brazil, then get a work permit issued by the government authorities in Brazil, and then finally apply for your work visa back in the country of your residence.  Good luck!

Maximum duration of the VITEM-V visa is two years.
