The recognition of stricto sensu postgraduate diplomas (Master's and Doctorate) obtained from foreign universities is a fundamental procedure for professionals to fully exercise their qualifications in Brazil, whether in academia or in the job market. This process, regulated by Brazilian educational bodies, aims to ensure the equivalence and quality of foreign education in relation to national standards. Among the various requirements demanded for the processing of the recognition request, the proof of the period of stay abroad during the course stands out as a crucial element. This article aims to explore in depth the importance and the means of proving this period, offering a complete overview of the topic. In the context of the globalization of higher education, academic mobility has become increasingly relevant. Consequently, the number of professionals seeking to pursue stricto sensu postgraduate studies (Master's and Doctorate) at foreign universities is growing, aiming to enrich their academic education and broaden their professional prospects. However, for these diplomas to be officially recognized in Brazil, it is necessary for the stay abroad to be duly proven, respecting the regulations established by the Ministry of Education (MEC) and the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES). This article addresses the requirements and the importance of proving the period of stay abroad for the recognition of stricto sensu postgraduate diplomas issued by foreign universities (art. 20, paragraph 4, VII of Resolution CNE/CES n. 2 of December 19, 2024), in addition to examining the role of Brazilian institutions in this process.
