The number of resident permits for work and investment purposes experienced a a positive variation both comparisons with July 2022 (21.2%) and August 2021 (6.4%). The analysis of the historical series indicates ongoing stability in this particular type of administrative record (Graph 1).
The positive outcome for the month was primarily attributed to the granted authorizations for labor purposes in the Southeast Region (Graph 2).
Among skilled workers, Chinese received the most permits (Graph 3).

In July, the creation of jobs for immigrants experienced a slight negative oscillation, despite the movement of a larger volume of workers and the creation of vacancies (Graph 4).
The largest number of jobs was generated for production line feeders (Graph 5).
It has become a structural pattern that the states in the Southern Region are the ones that predominantly attract immigrant workers and generate employment opportunities in the formal market (Map 1).

The cross-border movements of people across Brazilian borders are still suffering from the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. In August the volume oscillated slightly downward, as can be seen in Graph 6.
In August, the balance of cross-border entries and exits remained negative, primarily influenced by the movements of Brazilians and tourists (Graph 7).

August marked the highest number of residence applications in the entire historical series, which began in January 2019, as depicted in Graph 8.
Although it ranks fourth among the most utilized eligibility criteria, as depicted in Graph 9, the residence permit for education (280) experienced a significant increase compared to the previous month, more than doubling its numbers, and nearly tripling compared to August 2019. This criterion is surpassed only by the granting of residence for Venezuelans (273), the Mercosur Agreement (209), and family reunification (286).
Map 2 shows that Venezuelans continue to be the main nationality for obtaining residence permits, followed at a distance by Bolivians.
