ENROLL IN A LANGUAGE COURSE TO GET THE STUDENT VISA IN BRAZIL

 

 

Your tourist visa is about to expire but you don’t want to leave Brazil? After a while here, you are looking for a way to stay legally here after your allowed period? I can understand you well… And the good news is that it is possible (and pretty easy)!

Indeed, you can turn your tourist visa into a student visa by registering yourself with a language school, no matter your age.

 

 

What is the process to get a student visa in a language school?

In Brazil, the student visa application has to be done through an online form. The evidence of your student status will be the “Acceptance letter” given by your language school. It is the main piece of the compulsory documents needed for the visa application.

Once the form is complete, you will be asked to choose an appointment date with the federal police, where you will need to show all of these documents again, printed. You will get a temporary residence permit the same day and the official version will be available 6 weeks later, again at the federal police. Then over to you to go and get it, there is no need to make an appointment (don’t forget your passport and temporary residence permit!).
