Brazil Business Visa — VITEM II

The VITEM II (Visto Temporário II) is Brazil's business visitor visa allowing entry for meetings, conferences, and business activities without engaging in paid work. Some nationalities can apply via Brazil's e-Visa system, while others require consulate applications. Note: Brazil re-introduced visa requirements for US, Canadian, and Australian citizens in April 2025.

Processing typically takes 5-10 business days through the e-visa system. Traditional consulate applications may take longer. Our premium service helps expedite where possible.

São Paulo (Faria Lima and Vila Olímpia districts) dominates as Latin America's largest financial center. Rio de Janeiro (Centro and Barra da Tijuca), Curitiba (industrial), and Porto Alegre serve major corporate functions. We prepare visa applications for travel to any of them; we do not book the travel itself.

Portuguese is required for commercial contracts, tax filings, and government interactions. Our corporate service provides certified translations for corporate documents when needed. English works in international business contexts, especially in São Paulo, but Portuguese materials strengthen Brazilian partner relationships.
