Dismiss from my job while I'm on work permit

J
#1

Hello!


I'm writing this message because I didn't find any good and clear information on the web and my lawyer is also having some difficulty to reply me.


So, I have a brazilian work permit since MARCH 2023. However, for some personnal reason I will dismiss from my job. I want to know what will happen to my VISA. Should I leave the country as soon as I leave my job?


I have seen some different informations on the internet, so that's why I'm calling for your help!


For a bit more of context I'm from France.



Thank you!

I can't answer the question, but, did your employer sponsor you ?

If you obtained your visa as a result of a company offering you a job, ie sponsoring you, then theoretically the visa will cease when the job does. However, I doubt anyone will come to your door and ask you to leave Brazil, so long as there was no criminality involved in leaving your job. A friend of mine continued to stay in Brazil for several months after leaving his job...


Your visa should have an expiry date, after which, if you do not find a new sponsor and apply for a new visa, you will be out of status... But until then you should be good to stay.
