Hi Sabina,

Welcome to Expat-blog! I hope your experience here will be both enjoyable and informative. I'm sure you will make lots of new friends here.

To answer your questions, a tourist visa does not permit working, unfortunately. You can transform the tourist visa into a temporary work visa if you are able to land a contract with some company, they will probably handle the details for you. The other drawback of a tourist visa is that it only permits a maximum stay of 180 days of the year (calculated on a rolling year).

The only other way to get your Carteira de Identidade Estrangeiro and Carteira de Trabalho is to get married or enter into a stable union with a Brazilian (or foreigner who is a permanent resident), or have a baby born here in Brazil and then apply for a permanent visa.

Hi Sabina,

If this is your very first visit to Brazil then yes, your visa is valid for an initial stay of 90 days which you can extend for another 90 days (total 180 days) at the headquarters of the Policia Federal nearest where you are staying in Jo茫o Pessoa. This should be done about 3 weeks before the initial 90 day stay is over. It is best to take someone who speaks Portuguese with you if at all possible.
