Immigration records in Brazil are essential for genealogists researching ancestors who arrived in the country during various migration waves. From the early Portuguese settlers in the 16th century to the influx of European, Middle Eastern, and Asian immigrants in the 19th and 20th centuries, Brazil has a rich immigration history.
Key records, including passenger lists, naturalization documents, and residency permits, provide information on individuals’ origins, occupations, and settlement locations. Major ports such as Rio de Janeiro and Santos were primary entry points. Exploring these records helps researchers trace family histories and understand the diverse roots of Brazil’s population.
