About the program
The Brazilian citizenship-by-birth program is based on the principle of jus soli (“right of the soil”). A child born on Brazilian territory automatically becomes a citizen from the moment of birth. Parents obtain eligibility for permanent residence immediately after the child is born, and after one year of residence they may apply for citizenship themselves. Brazilian law allows multiple citizenships. The procedure is transparent and does not require renouncing the current passport. Older children and close relatives can also obtain citizenship together with the parents.

Yes. Under the principle of jus sanguinis, descendants of Brazilian citizens can claim Brazilian citizenship by inheritance through Brazilian diplomatic missions.
What do parents need to obtain a residence permit?
Parents must provide proof of financial solvency, a police clearance certificate from their home country, and valid health insurance.
Is dual or multiple citizenship allowed for the child?
