Illegal immigration to Brazil is the entry inBrazil of foreign nationals without government permission, and in violation of the Brazilian immigration laws.
As the country's economy improves it has found itself a magnet for illegal immigration.[1] Many illegal immigrants have arrived particularly fromHaiti andBolivia.[2][3][4][5][6]
Brazil often creates special legalization procedures for immigrant groups who become too numerous and would not otherwise qualify for immigration.[7] As of 2024, Brazil allows practically unrestricted immigration for nationals of allSouth American countries,Afghanistan, Haiti,Syria andUkraine, for nationals ofCuba who participated in theMais Médicos medical training program, for nationals of theDominican Republic andSenegal who claim refugee status (without reviewing the refugee claim), and for nationals of member states of theCommunity of Portuguese Language Countries in certain occupations or who are already in Brazil.[8]
