Campinas relocation guide
Jobs in Campinas
CPAT provides a local matching route. A referral letter is a next step, without guaranteeing a job or immigration permission.

The short answer
Campinas's CPAT service offers free employment matching through an appointment and document process. It can refer an applicant when a suitable match exists. That referral is not a job offer. Before relying on local work, check the employer's actual terms and your permission to take the job. Keep those decisions separate from obtaining a CPF or choosing a remote-work residence route.
- Free matching. CPAT describes job matching and referral.
- Centro office. Av. Campos Salles 427.
- Documents. The published list includes identity, CPF, CTPS, PIS and proof of address.

These are service-published requirements and hours, rather than a live appointment confirmation or a current vacancy count. Check the current office arrangement before traveling.4
Separate documents from the right to work
Receita permits foreign residents and nonresidents to request a CPF. That tax identifier does not itself establish permission to work. CNIg Resolution 45/2021 concerns qualifying foreign remote employment and excludes ordinary employment for a Brazilian employer from its digital nomad definition.1,
Confirm the applicable work and residence route for the actual position. Put a written offer, salary, contract and any employer obligations beside the legal requirements before you move.
Check the job address against the move
Compare your home shortlist and the actual commute. Keep foreign remote work separate. Add the real pay and costs to your spending plan and use the registration checklist.3
Questions people ask
Does a CPAT referral letter guarantee employment?
No. The service provides matching and a referral when appropriate. The employer still makes the hiring decision.
What changes on the last Friday at CPAT Centro?
The published Centro schedule ends at noon on the last Friday, rather than the ordinary 4:30 p.m. closing time. Confirm the actual appointment before traveling.
Does obtaining a CPF authorize local employment?
No. CPF registration is a tax-identity process available to foreign residents and nonresidents. The appropriate work and residence permission is separate.
Does this guide verify a Campinas salary average?
No. Use the actual written job offer and household costs. CPAT does not publish a comparable salary average in its matching service.
