Visa and Work Permit Guide

Version 1 | January 2015

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Between 5 and 21 August 2016, Rio de Janeiro will house athletes from 205 countries

competing in the 2016 Olympic Games, and between 7 and 18 September the city will

house athletes from 176 countries for the Paralympic Games. In addition to athletes,

Rio will also host the technical committees, broadcasting professionals, volunteers

and delegations from the National Olympic and Paralympic Committees, resulting in

a steep increase in the flow of foreign visitors to Brazil.

The Rio 2016 Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Rio 2016)

has developed, alongside the Brazilian Federal Government, a comprehensive Visa

Programme in order to facilitate the entry and stay of all foreigners coming to Brazil

to work on different activities related to the preparation and implementation of the

Games.

This guide aims to clarify the process for entry and stay in Brazil for the wide variety

of international clients and stakeholders of the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic

Games prior to Olympic Identity Accreditation Card (OIAC)/ Paralympic Identity

Accreditation Card (PIAC) being validated.

1 | GENERAL INFORMATION

A. LEGAL FRAMEWORK

People coming to Brazil solely to work on activities related to the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be regulated by the following legal guidelines:

1) Law 12.035, of 1 October 2009 (Olympic Act);

2) Normative Resolution 98, of 14 November 2012, from the National Immigration

Council; and

3) Normative Resolution 112, of 12 August 2014, from the same Council.

These laws were established to facilitate the granting of visas to our clients and stakeholders, prioritising those who are involved with the planning, organisation, delivery and operations of the Rio 2016 Games. The facilities provided by these guidelines will be effective until 31 December 2016.

Like all entry visas to Brazil, those offered to the Rio 2016 Games clients and stakeholders must be obtained from Brazilian diplomatic missions, consular representations or vice-consulates located abroad. Absolute priority will be given to visas requested under this Programme. Every effort will be made to issue visas as quickly as possible. We emphasise that, according to Brazilian law, visas cannot be issued upon arrival at Brazilian airports.

IMPORTANT: Even though the terms established by the Olympic Act are to facilitate, by all means, the entry of foreigners to Brazil for the Rio 2016 Games, Brazilian legislation reserves the right to deny visas, as well as the entry, of foreigners in Brazilian territory, in the cases of:

1) Unaccompanied minors (younger than 18);

2) Individuals in any way considered harmful to public order or national interests;

3) Individuals previously expelled from the country;

4) Individuals who were imprisoned or prosecuted in another country for a crime which is punishable by extradition under Brazilian law.
