About us

Meet Our Visionary Founder and Leader

Karina Chuquimia:

Karina Chuquimia founded Immigration Consulting in 2016 with a mission to break barriers, bridge cultures, and facilitate the soft landing of entrepreneurs and startups in Brazil & Latin America.

A Journey of Dedication and Expertise:

With over 20 years of legal expertise, Karina is dedicated to empowering clients to thrive in the global market. Born in Argentina and now based in Brazil, she seamlessly combines international legal proficiency with an entrepreneurial spirit.

An Immigrant’s Story:

Arriving in Brazil 15 years ago with just two suitcases and many questions, Karina worked in fields unrelated to her legal background. However, in 2011, she seized a significant opportunity by joining one of Brazil’s top law firms in the corporate immigration department. Her experiences, including her work in the Rio 2016 Olympics, fueled her vision to create a unique approach to immigration management.

Immigration Consulting: A Unique Approach

Immigration Consulting is distinct in its specialization in Intercultural Management. We understand the complexities of the Brazilian immigration system and the cultural nuances of our clients from all corners of the world. Our team listens to your unique needs, helps you understand your options, and ensures compliance with local immigration requirements.

Innovative Solutions for Digital Nomads:

Today, in 2024, Immigration Consulting stands as the world’s first company to develop an application for digital nomads to request visas.

Expanding Horizons with IntGrows:

In 2023, Karina co-founded IntGrows, a startup offering soft landing solutions for entrepreneurs and startups entering Brazil. This venture stemmed from the success of IC’s international business support division.

A Passionate Advocate and Speaker:

Karina Chuquimia is not only a qualified lawyer in Argentina and Brazil but also a passionate activist, advocate, mentor, and speaker at various events spanning technology, immigration, culture, and beyond.

WHY IMMIGRATION CONSULTING?

Immigration is a complex issue, often involving sensitive and personal situations, and with a myriad of possibilities.  
With a very complicated legal and immigration system, many newcomers to Brazil and Latam get lost and confused, struggling to comprehend many bureaucratic systems.  Many ends up spending huge amounts of money, needlessly, and without any satisfactory solutions.  
We know that immigration issues can be a great cause of stress.  Our team gets to know clients on a personal and professional level, in order to ensure that the immigration process feels manageable and stress free.
We handle the bureaucracy on your behalf, and explain each step along the way.  We are tireless in our efforts on behalf of our clients, and relish the challenge of resolving particularly difficult immigration cases.  
Brazil is a wonderful place to live, and it is exciting to discover the amazing cultural offer of this marvellous land.  
Newcomers should spend time learning the language and enjoying the sights and sounds, while we look after your immigration status.
