Brazil has introduced a new special humanitarian visa for Ukrainian nationals and stateless persons affected by the war in Ukraine to reside and work in Brazil for up to two years initially. The new humanitarian visa is available immediately and until August 31, 2022. Individuals can apply for the visa either at a Brazilian consular post (and register with the Federal Police within 90 days of arrival in Brazil) or in country at the Federal Police in Brazil. Applicants may submit signed declarations in lieu of birth and marriage certificates if they are unable to obtain these documents or unable to apostille, legalize or translate them. There are no government fees for this visa. The visa may be renewed for an indefinite period before it expires if holders have not been absent from Brazil for more than 90 days in a year; have not entered or exited Brazil illegally; have a clean criminal record in Brazil and abroad; and can prove economic means for their livelihood.
