The visa/work authorization (without formation of employment relationship) is destined to the foreigner that comes to Brazil provide service that involve technical assistance or technology transfer (know-how). The characteristic feature of this type of visa is the absence of employment relationship between the foreigner and the Brazilian company that require its services (the employment relationship, in this case, shall remain with the foreign company, from which the foreigner is hired).
This type of visa is applied, for example, when a Brazilian company imports certain machinery. As a rule, the importation of machinery necessarily involves the coming of the selling foreign company's technicians. These foreign technicians, besides aiding employees of the Brazilian company in the assembly of machinery, transmit all their knowledge with regard to the applied technology, forms of use, technical assistance, among other activities to ensure the complete installation and operation of machinery imported.
