Under the Mercosur Residence Agreement, Brazilian citizens can obtain residence in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador by proving nationality and a clean criminal record. According to the source, these routes do not require a job offer, minimum income, or diploma.
Sources point to a regional route that can substantially reduce the documentary burden for Brazilians moving to neighboring countries. The core initial documents are proof of nationality and a criminal-record certificate, rather than an employment contract or proof of high qualifications. This is especially relevant to families, workers, and people who want to relocate before finding a local job. Applicants should still check the destination country’s specific requirements because the path to permanent residence differs across countries.
