Career prospects

To study in Brazil, international students must obtain a student visa (VITEM IV). Students have to apply at the Brazilian consulate located within their home country. A student visa application necessitates students to present their enrollment proof, financial documents, and a police background check. The student visa becomes effective for the entire study period and can be renewed according to student needs. Confirm with your selected university about any special requirements for your targeted program because they may ask for research proposals or recommendation letters. The minimum age limit for a study visa in Brazil is at least 18 years old for applicants to apply independently.
