🇧🇷Brazil

Brazil is vast, vibrant, and underrated by nomads who assume it is too far or too risky. It offers world-class beaches, a deep music and food culture, surprisingly good urban infrastructure, and a formal nomad visa with a modest income bar. The trade-offs are real distances, a language barrier since Portuguese dominates, and safety that varies widely, but the upside is a country with unmatched energy and natural beauty.

Your entry & visa for Brazil

A United States passport needs a visa/eVisa first, but the Digital Nomad Visa is the real long-stay route. Pick your passport above for your own access.

The Digital Nomad Visa

Brazil's digital nomad visa grants one year, renewable for a second, requiring proof of remote work and about $1,500/month in income (or roughly $18,000 in savings). You apply at a Brazilian consulate or, in some cases, after arrival. Many shorter-stay visitors use the 90-day tourist entry, extendable to 180 days per year, depending on nationality.
