Eduardo Bolsonaro Receives U.S. Permanent Residency

Former Brazilian congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and a close ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, announced Monday that he has been granted permanent residency in the United States, commonly known as a green card.

Eduardo Bolsonaro confirmed that he has officially received lawful permanent resident status, allowing him to live and work in the United States indefinitely. The announcement comes as Brazil continues to experience political tensions involving members of the Bolsonaro family.

Eduardo Bolsonaro has spent recent months in the United States, where he has strengthened relationships with conservative political figures and organizations. His move has fueled speculation about his future political plans and whether he intends to remain active in Brazilian politics while residing in the U.S.

A U.S. green card grants foreign nationals the right to permanently reside and work in the country, although it does not confer U.S. citizenship. Permanent residents remain citizens of their home country unless they later complete the naturalization process.

Neither Eduardo Bolsonaro nor his representatives have indicated whether the new immigration status will affect his long-term political ambitions in Brazil. The announcement is expected to attract attention as legal and political developments involving the Bolsonaro family continue.
