Your Guide | Digital Nomad Brazil
1. Why Choose Brazil?
From lush jungles and world-famous beaches to vibrant cities and rich cultural traditions, Brazil is a thrilling destination for digital nomads. Whether you’re looking to immerse yourself in Carnival energy, surf in Florianópolis, or find a laid-back rhythm in Bahia, Brazil offers an endless array of experiences. It’s also one of the few South American countries offering a dedicated digital nomad visa, making long stays easier than ever.
2. Visa and Entry Requirements
Brazil has introduced a Digital Nomad Visa that allows remote workers to live and work in the country legally for up to one year, renewable for another year. To qualify, applicants need to prove a minimum monthly income (around US$1,500) or savings of at least US$18,000, among other standard documentation.
Brazil’s government has made the application process clear and structured. You can follow this 5-step guide to obtain a Digital Nomad Residency Permit published by Brazil’s immigration portal.
Tourist visas are also available for shorter stays, generally allowing 90 days in a 180-day period for many nationalities.
3. Cost of Living
Brazil can be very affordable depending on the city or region:
Accommodation: US$600–$1.200/month for a one-bedroom apartment (cheaper outside of São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro).
Food: Eating out is budget-friendly, with meals costing US$3–$10. Groceries average US$150–$250/month.
Transportation: Public transport is widely available and don't break the bank; monthly passes cost around US$30–$50.
Coworking Spaces: Range from US$80–$150/month.

7. Community and Networking

8. Food and Dining
Brazilian food is diverse and full of flavor:
Feijoada (black bean stew), pão de queijo (cheese bread), and moqueca (fish stew) are local favorites.
