Brazilian Digital Nomad Visa Renewal Online Submission Issue

P
#1

Hi all,


I am trying to submit my digital nomad visa renewal package online and I run into the following issue when trying to submit it. I get the notification that optional fields in Step 2 of the application, specifically, the document annex, are not filled in. Even when I fill those fields in with placeholder pdf documents I get the same issue and I cannot proceed to submission. Does anyone have any advice on a workaround here?


Thanks all,


Patrick

Hi @Patrick Schultz

Is it that yellow warning for Procuração/Outros documentos or some other thing? Are you not able to just ignore the warning and skip to the next step? You shouldn't even have to use a placeholder normally.


And if you believe it's a technical problem about the webpage you can always contact them via: https://portaldeimigracao.mj.gov.br/pt/ … des/401437

That yellow warning on optional fields trips up a lot of people. From what applicants report, the optional Step 2 annexes usually don't block submission even when the warning shows — the form often lets you advance with them empty. A couple of things worth trying: keep any uploaded PDFs small with short filenames (no accents or spaces), and use Chrome — the portal seems happiest there. If it still won't let you through, the portal's own support channel (portaldeimigracao.mj.gov.br) is the fastest way to get an actual answer on whether the warning is blocking in your case.
