Residency in Brazil

My boyfriend and I are going to marry. We know about the documents and process to marry in Brazil but we have some doubts about asking for residency.
Will he can stay in Brazil until an answer about the residency (during the process)? Or will he be required to leave after the days that his visa let him to stay?

Thank you.
