Can I work remotely in Brazil for a company in South Africa?

Yes it’s perfectly possible, but we advise first to check the following points:

  1. Check if the company has a Brazil presence in their country and if you need to apply for a work permit for that company.
  2. If the company does not have a presence in Brazil, but you can show that you are a qualified professional in the company, and that you are willing to work in South Africa, then you can apply for a work permit.
  3. If the company has a Brazil presence and you do not qualify, you can still apply for a work permit, but you will need to get a visa from the Brazilian consulate in South Africa, and pay for the visa.

How can I get a work permit in Brazil?
To get a work permit in Brazil, you need to have the following documents:

  1. An invitation letter from the company
  2. A passport valid for at least 6 months after the start date of the job
  3. A valid work permit for the country you are going to work in
    If you are a Brazilian citizen, you need to fill out the work permit application form, and if you are a non-Brazilian, you need to fill out the work permit application form and send the invitation letter to the company.
    You need to apply for a work permit in Brazil, and it can be done at a consulate or embassy of Brazil. There are consulates in Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Durban, and the consulate in João Pessoa is usually the easiest to deal with.

Will I pay taxes in Brazil or South Africa when working remotely in Brazil?

Taxes can be complicated when working remotely in Brazil for a corporation in South Africa, so here are some answers to the question of what taxes will I pay when working remotely in Brazil.

This question comes up a lot in my inbox. I’ve written about taxes in Brazil and South Africa before, but I’m sure I’ve missed some important points.
If you’re working remotely in Brazil, you’ll pay taxes to the Brazilian government.
Brazil has a 12% value added tax (VAT). This is a tax on all goods and services, and it is collected at the point of sale.
Brazilian law requires that companies with at least one Brazilian employee collect this tax on the employee’s behalf. Companies with fewer than five employees are exempt from this requirement.
If you’re working remotely in Brazil, you’ll pay the VAT to the Brazilian government, and then you’ll have to pay it again to the Brazilian company that hired you.
If you’re working in South Africa, you’ll pay taxes to the South African government.
South Africa has a 24% VAT.
Companies with at least one South African employee are exempt from collecting this tax.
