In the current international system, countries have responded in distinct manners to migratory phenomenon, principally in the internal sphere. Using Hermann’s Model, this study intends to verify, using documentary analysis, the level of influence which the international treaties signed by Brazil exercised on the formulation of migration legislation in the country between the Foreigner Statute (Law Nº 6.815/1980) and the 2017 Migration Law (Law Nº 13.445/2017). The results show that the Migration Law was more successful in enshrining terms established in international agreements, since the Foreigner Statute was created in a period in which the foreign policy agenda did not defend post-national citizenship.
