Former federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) said this Saturday (20/12) that he was considering applying for a stateless passport after receiving information, according to him, that he could lose his Brazilian passport. Eduardo saw his mandate as deputy revoked by the board of directors of the Chamber of Deputies.
Despite the alleged loss of his Brazilian passport, Eduardo says it would not stop him from making further international trips because “he has other ways to do it.”

The former parliamentarian also said that with the confirmation of the loss of the document, he would have to return his diplomatic passport and described the situation as an “attempt” by Alexandre de Moraes, Minister of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), to harm his work. On the website of the Chamber of Deputies, Eduardo Bolsonaro’s diplomatic passport, issued in February 2023, already appears as invalid.
Eduardo said he “is already vaccinated” and knows the strategies of the STF minister. These statements were made by the former MP in an interview with SBT News.
The son of former President Jair Bolsonaro is accused of the crime of coercion in legal proceedings. He is accused of lobbying the Supreme Court in the criminal case that convicted his father and other allies of attempted coup after the 2022 election.
What is a stateless person?
According to the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, the definition of a stateless person is a person who is not considered a national by any state, that is, a person without a country or nationality.
To be recognized as stateless, the applicant must fill out a form containing information and personal data on the country of birth, family members, motivations for the request, among others. This form is sent for analysis to the Federal Police (PF).
If the document is approved, the applicant is invited to appear personally at the PF unit by appointment.
Subsequently, the application is transmitted to the Migration Department for analysis and final decision on the application for recognition of stateless status. The final decision is published in the Official Journal of the Union.
The process of recognizing stateless status is important because it can guarantee international protection and facilitate the naturalization of the applicant.
To begin the recognition process, the person must not be considered a national by any state, under the terms of the 1954 Convention on the Status of Stateless Persons, reside in Brazil and have no criminal record in the countries where they have lived in the last five years.
