VITEM IX — Investor Visa — Manager or Executive (VITEM IX — Investidor Administrador)

The VITEM IX Investor Visa for Managers and Executives is a strategic immigration pathway designed to support foreign capital investment in the Brazilian economy. It was created to allow international companies to deploy their key leadership personnel to Brazil to oversee, manage, or direct substantial investments. By providing a dedicated visa for these high-level professionals, Brazil facilitates the transfer of management expertise and ensures that foreign-invested projects are effectively supervised, thereby promoting economic growth, job creation, and operational stability within the country.

This visa is intended for managers, directors, or executives who hold legal authority to represent a foreign company or investment group that has injected significant capital into a Brazilian business. The ideal applicant is a seasoned professional tasked with the strategic oversight of a subsidiary or a joint venture in Brazil. What makes this visa distinctive is its focus on the applicant's role as a representative of the investor, requiring proof of the company's investment and the applicant's executive authority, rather than just a personal financial contribution.
