In May 2015, Heberty controversially obtained Timorese citizenship, making him eligible to play for Timor-Leste internationally but he did not make his international debut with them.
On 19 January 2017, the Asian Football Confederation declared 12 Brazilian men's footballers, including Heberty, ineligible to represent Timor-Leste. Following their nationality falsification, the country was banned from competing in international events.
Heberty is considered one of the top 5 players in Matchday 13 of the Thai League 1 in an article by FOX Sports Asia. He has made 249 appearances across four clubs in Thai League 1, the most for a foreign player in the league.
