Amnesty Granted

With the strongest economy in the region, the attraction of Brazil for everyone from multinationals to migrant workers is enormous. The Federal Government's sanctioning of an amnesty for individuals working in the country without proper documentation earlier this year promises benefits for all.

On July 2 this year, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva sanctioned an 'amnesty' law allowing foreigners who are illegal in Brazil to request temporary residency.

With the strongest economy in the region, the reasons for migrating to Brazil from neighboring countries are numerous, whilst there are plenty of opportunities for overseas companies deciding to set up operations which require the posting of skilled professionals from abroad.
