New Regulation: Visa-Free Technical Assignments in Brazil

As of now, German citizens as well as nationals of countries with which Brazil has signed a short-stay visa exemption agreement (VIVIS) can provide technical support in Brazil for up to 90 days within 180 days – visa-free. The condition is that the activity is not paid from a Brazilian source.

The regulation specifically includes:

• Assembly and repair of equipment or systems exported to Brazil
• Technology transfer
• Technical consulting
