Victor Ramos made his professional – and Série A – debut on 16 November 2008, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–2 away loss against Atlético Paranaense. Mainly a second-choice, he only established himself as a starter after the arrival of new manager Paulo César Carpegiani.

Victor Ramos scored his first goal in the main category of Brazilian football on 12 July 2009, netting the fourth in a 6–2 home routing of Santos. He finished the campaign with 17 appearances, being a regular starter.

On 20 July 2011, after being demoted to Standard's reserve team back in January, Victor Ramos was loaned to Vasco da Gama until the end of the year. However, he failed to impress and acted mainly as a backup to his former Vitória teammate Anderson Martins.

On 31 January 2012 Victor Ramos returned to Vitória, in a season-long loan deal. He was an undisputed starter for the side during the year, appearing in 33 league matches and scoring a career-best five goals as his side returned to the top tier.

On 17 December 2013 Victor Ramos moved to Liga MX side C.F. Monterrey, signing a two-year deal. In July of the following year he was announced at Vitória on loan, but the move was later declared void by his parent club.

On 12 January 2015 Victor Ramos was loaned to Palmeiras, for one year. After being sparingly used, he left the club and served a subsequent loan stint at Vitória before rescinding his contract with his parent club.

On 6 April 2017, Victor Ramos signed for Chapecoense. He left the club in October 2017.

On 20 December 2017, Victor Ramos joined China League One side Meizhou Meixian Techand, becoming the first foreign player in club's history. However, he had his contract terminated by mutual consent on 18 January 2018.
