Nearly half of all Brazilians in France live in the overseas region of French Guiana, including many who have crossed the 730 km border illegally. While Brazilian citizens may travel to Metropolitan France without a visa, they do need a visa to enter French Guiana.[2]
As is the case in neighbouring Guyana and Suriname, many Brazilian migrants are gold miners.
As of 2023, there are about 93,000 Brazilians in French Guiana.[1]
