Are you leaving for an internship in Brazil? For all internships that last longer than 120 days, there are several conditions to acquire the mandatory internship visa under Brazilian legislation.
Internships for a duration longer than 120 days require a student visa.
LEGAL OBLIGATIONS
Be registered at a Sciences Po partner university
- In the city where you’re doing the internship
- When? At the university’s course registration opening
- « Convênio » or/and the « Termo de Compromisso de Estágio » is mandatory: it’s a tripartite internship agreement between Sciences Po, the host organization and the partner university
-
You have to take at least one class per semester at the partner university
To fulfill that obligation, the internship working hours will be limited to 6 hours per day maximum, or 30h per week.
For internships shorter than 120 days
Since the 6th of June 2014, students wishing to do an internship shorter than 120 days no longer have to register with a partner Brazilian university.
You should ask for a VITEM IV Student-Intern Visa
Good to know: since the end of September 2011, the Brazilian authorities have suspended the delivery of visas for V.I.E (international Volunteering in Companies).
