VISA ISSUES
It is mandatory to have a student or internship visa in order to attend FGV-EAESP. To get the student visa students must be in their native Country. For further information please contact the closest Brazilian Consulate/ Embassy.
Internships
From now on, in order to attend an internship in Brazil, students must obtain the Brazilian Internship Visa (RN88). The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company, at the moment when applying for the visa at a Brazilian Consulate or Embassy.
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil, but they succeed on finding an offer after arriving here, they will have to travel back to their Country of origin and apply for the Internship Visa. (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status) Unfortunately, the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil.
