🇧🇷 Brazil · Study Abroad
How to study in Brazil as an international student — application steps, student visas, and living costs.
Studying in Brazil depends on admission by a recognised institution, visa or residence status and the course type. International students should verify the institution in official education systems and use the appropriate MRE visa or Federal Police residence process.
- Regular higher-education courses should be checked in e-MEC, the official register of higher-education institutions and courses.
- MRE consular guidance treats regular study, exchange, internships and language courses under VITEM IV when the category applies.
- Students already in Brazil may have residence-permit steps directly with the Federal Police depending on status.
