The Brazilian Government provides the possibility of foreign students to follow their graduation courses in Brazilian universities in order for them to both study what they want and learn about Portuguese language and Brazilian culture. The visa provided is called VITEM IV, (Temporary Visa 4) and provided to students only and valid for a year only, renewable within Brazil as long as you remain in college. This programs works via an exchange agreement bewteeen Brazil and several countries around the globe. You do not pay for your studies but will have to pay for your stay in the country, i.e. - food, housing, transportation, etc. After the course is over, you can request an extra 2-year visa via an internship program, or direct employment, in public or private companies. The visa provided will be then VITEM V - a worker's visa. After this you can request to remain in the country as a Temporary Resident. You can also jump over the studying part and get a worker's visa shall you be able to find an employer in Brazil before travelling. Workers get a 2-year visa renewable for the same period once. After 4 years in the country you can request the Temporary Resident status, equivalent to the U.S. Green Card. I suggest you contact the Brazilian consular or diplomatic representation closest to your location in order to get more information on this.
