Get Brazil Visa combines artificial intelligence with legal expertise to help international remote workers navigate complex Brazilian immigration requirements

FORTALEZA, BRAZIL – January 10, 2026

As Brazil emerges as one of Latin America's fastest-growing destinations for digital nomads, a Dutch-Brazilian entrepreneurial couple has launched an innovative platform to streamline the often-complicated visa application process. Get Brazil Visa (getbrazilvisa.com/visa-application) leverages artificial intelligence and legal expertise to help remote workers successfully obtain Brazil's VITEM XIV Digital Nomad Visa.

Brazil's Growing Appeal for Digital Nomads Brazil has experienced significant growth in international visitors, with the country receiving over 6.4 million international tourists in 2023, representing a 63% increase from the previous year according to Embratur. The introduction of the VITEM XIV Digital Nomad Visa in 2022 has positioned Brazil as an increasingly attractive destination for remote workers seeking a high quality of life at competitive costs.

The appeal is clear: Brazil offers a diverse climate ranging from tropical beaches to cosmopolitan cities, a cost of living up to 60% lower than major North American and European cities, a vibrant cultural scene, and now, a dedicated legal pathway for digital nomads. The VITEM XIV visa allows remote workers to stay in Brazil for up to one year with the possibility of renewal, while maintaining employment with foreign companies or serving international clients.

The Immigration Application Challenge While the VITEM XIV visa offers significant benefits, applicants often face challenges with Brazil's MigranteWeb government portal. Common friction points include:

• Complex documentation requirements with specific formatting standards • Application rejections due to minor technical errors in document submission • Language barriers for non-Portuguese speakers navigating the system • Lack of clear guidance on income documentation and apostille requirements • Processing delays when applications require revision These challenges represent opportunities for improvement in Brazil's digital infrastructure, and the government has shown commitment to welcoming international talent. However, many qualified applicants find themselves struggling with the technical aspects of the application process despite meeting all substantive requirements.

An AI-Powered Solution Get Brazil Visa addresses these challenges through a comprehensive platform that combines artificial intelligence with Brazilian legal expertise. Co-founded by Hassan Yassine and Brazilian lawyer Camila Araujo Mota, the service emerged from their personal experience navigating the visa process.

The platform features several innovative components:

AI-Powered Document Scanning The system analyzes uploaded documents against Brazil's specific Digital Nomad Visa requirements, identifying potential issues before submission. The AI is trained to catch common rejection triggers, achieving a validation approval rate exceeding 95%.

Intelligent Application Builder An interactive platform guides applicants through over 100 fields in the MigranteWeb portal, providing real-time validation and personalized checklists based on the applicant's specific situation.

VITEM XIV AI Assistant A 24/7 chatbot trained on Brazilian immigration law, CNIG Resolution 45, and real application experiences provides instant answers about income requirements, document translations, and processing times in 14 languages.

Optional Legal Oversight For applicants seeking maximum confidence, the Full Service package ($499) includes document review by a Brazilian immigration lawyer, providing human feedback directly in the platform before submission.
