brazil makes available many types of work visas, ranging from temporary visas, 30 days to one year, to multi-year permanent visas, and even event-specific work visas for volunteers involved in major events such as the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, or special projects.

there are specific work visas for teachers, researchers, scientists, visitors travelling to brazil to attend professional training, reporters, and movie crews, athletes and sport/game competitors, that all broadly fall under the generic work visa classification.
