anybody pursuing some form of remunerated
employment in brazil needs an
autorização de trabalho
or
work permit and anyone applying for such a document must also
obtain the appropriate immigration visa (visto) that is
applicable to their individual case.
the easiest way to obtain a work visa is to
be hired by a company that is either of brazilian ownership or
that has an official branch of operation in brazil - in this
situation, the company serves as a sponsor and generally takes
care of the entire visa process.
