Temporary visa for foreign nationals requiring medical treatment in Brazil, renewable for up to 1 year while healthcare continues.
The Medical Treatment Visa (VITEM II) is a temporary visa for foreign nationals seeking specialized medical care in Brazil beyond 90 days. It fills the gap for individuals requiring complex surgeries or specialized procedures unavailable in their home countries. The visa provides a legal framework for patients and companions to access Brazil's medical infrastructure.
This visa permits up to 1 year per grant, successively renewable while treatment continues. Applicants must present medical necessity from a Brazilian physician, proof of financial resources for treatment and living costs, and a cost estimate. Dependents are allowed. The visa fee is USD 100. Registration with Federal Police is required within 90 days of arrival. Work is not permitted.
This visa is ideal for patients requiring extended medical treatment in Brazil who can demonstrate medical necessity and financial capacity to cover treatment and living expenses.
