The number of work permits for labor and investment purposes has experienced a slight positive variation in relation to the previous month (2.3%), as well
as in the annual period (5.3%). This data reaffirms the stability of the historical series (Graph 1).
Technical, science and arts professionals benefited the most from work permits in February (Graph 2).
Among skilled workers, no major changes were observed in the monthly (3.0%) and yearly (1.3%) comparisons. The standout category remains RN02
(workers employed in Brazil). RN30 governs the renewal or extension of permits for an indefinite term. In other words, these are workers whose permits
have been renewed rather than new workers (Graph 3).

In January the number of jobs for immigrants in the formal market oscillated positively, returning to the level observed in November 2021. The revival of the
labor market in this sector, which began in September and was interrupted in December, still requires confirmation through the results of the upcoming
months (Graph 4).
Two aspects regarding nationalities have drawn attention. Firstly, the notable increase in job opportunities created for Venezuelans, and secondly, the
remarkable performance of Haitian women, surpassing that of men from the same nationality (Graph 5).
The South Region continued to be the location that not only had the highest number of immigrant workers, but also the one that generated the most jobs
(Map 1).

STI
STI (International Traffic System)
In February, the ongoing trend of increasing movement of people through border crossings, which had been observed since April 2021, was abruptly halted
(Graph 6).
The negative balance observed during the month was primarily driven by a higher number of departures of Brazilians, a trend that has been gradually
becoming a structural characteristic throughout the historical series that began in 2018. This suggests an intensification of Brazilian emigration (Graph 7).
Regarding other nationalities, approximately 30% of the negative balance was contributed by Argentineans, Paraguayans, and Chileans.

SISMIGRA
SisMigra (National Migration Registry System)
The number of residence registrations has been negative for the second consecutive month, although higher than February 2021 (Graph 8). This indicator
should be monitored over the next few years to determine whether or not the trend has changed.
Once again, the reduction in residence registrations occurred due to a decrease in the number of Venezuelan registrations (Map 2) and a decline in children
(Graph 9).
The decrease in residence applications recorded in Boa Vista and Pacaraima indicates a decline in the entry of Venezuelans through the northern borders.

In February, there was a disruption to the positive trend in the evolution of applications for the recognition of refugee status (Graph 10). The drop was
primarily determined by the decrease in the number of applications from Venezuelans (Map 3).
Two characteristics in the applications registered in February must be noted: i) higher participation of people under 15 years old among the applicants; and
ii) resumption of Pacaraima as the main entry point of the applicants (Graph 11).
