Our mission: to make administrative procedures simple and suited to life at sea, thanks to my experience as a sailor and our local legal partnerships. Our strengths:
- ✅ Simplicity – We take care of everything
- 🌍 Local expertise – Brazilian legal partners
- ⚓ For sailors – Service adapted to the nomadic lifestyle

From sailor to trusted partner for your visas
I’m Maria, and I’ve been sailing with my family aboard our sailboat since 2021. After covering more than 12,000 nautical miles, I’ve learned to know the sea — but also the complexity of administrative procedures. When I arrived in Brazil, I personally went through all the country’s administrative formalities.
Following this experience, I created Voiles & Visas: to support sailors, families, and retirees in their visa administrative procedures. I guide and prepare you every step of the way.

Voiles & Visas supports you with two types of visas:
- 💻 Visa Nomade Digital (VITEM XIV) : to work remotely while sailing.
