What this document is

“Declaração de meios de vida lícitos e suficientes” is a model published by the Brazilian Federal Police (Polícia Federal, PF) under “Declarações e Formulários”. Under penalty of law, the declarant states that they live in Brazil at the given address and have lawful and sufficient means to support themselves and their family.

The PF FAQ on residence authorisation and RNM lists this declaration among the documents that can prove income or means of subsistence. The form is in Portuguese and one page long; it carries a printed warning about Article 299 of the Penal Code (false statements in a document).

Who files it and where

  • the foreign national who must prove means of subsistence in a migration procedure signs it;
  • whether you need it depends on the legal basis of your request: check the document list for that basis on the PF website;
  • the signed declaration is attached to the request filed with the PF together with the other documents;
  • the PF states that its list of income documents is not exhaustive and that a single document does not guarantee acceptance: the authority may ask for more.

What the form asks

  • full name, nationality and marital status;
  • date and city of birth;
  • names of father and mother (filiação);
  • residential address in Brazil: street, number, complemento, bairro, city, UF, CEP;
  • city, UF and date of signing; the signature is handwritten.

What to bring

  • the signed declaration;
  • your passport or the identity document used in the request;
  • optionally, other income documents from the PF list: employment contract or CTPS, payslips, pension statement, income tax return, investment statements;
