Living together in Brasil

For families planning to live together

This service is for people joining a Brazilian family member or an immigrant with permission to live in the country. Spouses, partners, children and some other relatives may qualify. The requirements depend on the relationship, age, dependency and the status of the family member already in Brasil.

Where we start

Tell us who plans to move, where each person lives, their nationalities and how they are related to the person in Brasil. Knowing which civil records your family already has also helps. You do not need to send passports, certificates or children’s documents at this first stage.

The documents behind your family’s application

Your relationship and your documents

We review identity documents, birth or marriage records and evidence of a partnership, where applicable. We also check the documents of the family member in Brasil and any proof of dependency needed for the relationship. Each person receives a checklist suited to their case.

What needs to be prepared abroad

We identify certificates, criminal-record documents where required, and any apostille, legalization or sworn translation needed. Before you order documents or translations, we check the requirements of the authority handling the application and look for inconsistencies in names, dates and family records.

How we help, step by step

  1. 01 / REVIEW

    Review your case

    With our legal partner, we check who can apply and which process to follow. We explain what each family member needs and how we can help.

  2. 02 / DOCUMENTS

    Prepare your documents

    We make a document checklist for each person, including civil records and proof of the family relationship. We show you what is missing and explain any translation or apostille requirements.

  3. 03 / APPLICATION

    Prepare and file the application

    The professional handling your application guides you through the process, at a consulate or in Brasil, and follows requests for documents during the agreed support period. We share the filing receipt when it is issued and explain what comes next.

  4. 04 / FOLLOW-UP

    Follow the next steps

    We explain registration in Brasil and plan the support for your family’s arrival. If you also need help finding a home and settling in, we include those services and their costs in your proposal.

After approval, the next steps are already planned

Registration and your residence card

We explain the Federal Police registration that applies after a visa or residence decision, help prepare the appointment and follow the residence-document stage within the agreed service. We also review the permission’s validity and the dates your family needs to keep in mind.

Settling in and planning renewals

If your family also needs housing and arrival support, we coordinate that work with the immigration process and itemize it in the proposal. We explain the next renewal or residence review and agree the support needed before the current engagement ends.

Questions before you begin

Can any family member apply?
No. The rules depend on the relationship and your family’s situation. Having a relative with residence in Brasil does not guarantee approval for another person. We check the conditions for each family member before starting.
Do I apply abroad or in Brasil?
It depends on where you are and your circumstances. Applying for a visa at a consulate and requesting residence in Brasil are different procedures. In the initial review, we explain where your family should start.
Can a partner apply without being married?
A qualifying partnership may support a family reunification request. The evidence needs to meet the applicable requirements. We review the documents you have and explain what else is needed to establish the relationship.
Does one application cover the whole family?
Each person’s situation and required documents must be checked. We organize the family’s applications together, while keeping individual requirements, appointments and official charges clear. The proposal identifies which family members are included.
What if a document is missing or contains an error?
We identify the issue during the review and explain whether a new copy, correction or additional evidence is needed. If the authority asks for more information after filing, we help organize the response and track the deadline during the contracted follow-up.

Processing times and decisions remain with the responsible authorities.
