This article aimed to discuss internationalization in universities, in times of pandemic and online education, from the perspective of experts and researchers in the area. The research is exploratory with a qualitative approach and data analysis occurred through analytical induction and triangulation. The results indicate that the internationalization of higher education has occurred through exchange and virtual academic mobility, considered an opportunity arising from the pandemic, because it enables an international and intercultural training for a larger number of participants. In relation to the challenges inherent to virtual mobility, the Educational Institutions must act with protagonism, in an organized and strategic way to overcome the crisis, implementing internationalization actions and benefiting from virtual environments. Moreover, governmental support, adequate infrastructure, and teacher training appear as important elements to overcome the non-presence and achieve the objectives of internationalization in online education.
