Preview Page 5.101 The status of a foreigner in Brazil is defined by Law No. 6815 of August 19, 1980 (the “Foreigners’ Statute”), which governs the entry and stay of foreigners in Brazil, their identification, their pursuit of business, professional and other activities, their acquisition of Brazilian nationality, extradition, expulsion and deportation, and sets out the reciprocal rights and duties of the foreigner and of the Brazilian Government. Law No. 6815 also created the National Immigration Council, an offshoot of the Ministry of Labor and Employment to coordinate and direct Brazil’s official immigration policy. The administration of this law fundamentally serves the national security, institutional organization, political, socioeconomic and cultural interests of Brazil, as well as the defense of the interests of Brazilian workers. 5.102 As a rule, any foreigner may enter the country in times of peace. In order to do so, however, the foreigner must comply with the requirements of the Foreigners’ Statute and obtain the applicable visa. Seven types of visa are envisaged in the law:
(i) transit;
(ii) tourist;
(iii) temporary;
(iv) permanent;
(v) courtesy;
(vi) official; and
(vii) diplomatic.
