How it works

Three steps, one case

  1. Answer a few questions

    One at a time, mostly a single tap. Checked against current official Brazilian sources.

  2. See your pathway and checklist

    Which route fits, and every document it asks for.

  3. Work with an immigration attorney

    Choose a licensed attorney in Brazil. Your answers and documents go with you, so nothing is asked twice.

What you get

A clear answer, not a maze of forms

When you finish, you see where you stand and exactly what to gather.

Before you start

Is this legal advice?

No. Emigro gives a preliminary read of your route, checked against official Brazilian sources. A licensed immigration attorney confirms the requirements and files your case.

Do I need an account to start?

No. The questions work without one. You sign in with an email code when you choose an attorney or upload documents.

Who are the attorneys?

Independent, licensed immigration attorneys who work through Emigro. You choose who handles your case, or prepare your documents first and choose later.

How does payment work?

Your attorney sets their filing fee and you pay them directly. They confirm in your case once it arrives. Emigro never holds that payment.

What happens to my documents?

They are stored with your case and shared with the attorney you choose. The automatic check runs only when you start it, and sends that file to Emigro's document-reading provider for analysis.
