Brazil’s VITEM IV is intended for studies, exchange programs, and research, generally requiring at least 15 hours of study per week. Students may work if their employment is compatible with their course load and must register with the Federal Police within 90 days of entry.
According to the official source, the study visa can support residence in Brazil for up to one year, with extensions available until the studies are completed. Applicants need evidence of enrollment and financial means, followed by Federal Police registration within 90 days of entry. Paid work is allowed, but it must remain compatible with the student’s course load. This is particularly important for students and exchange participants planning a longer stay in Brazil.
