I am in the process of installing MySQL on Windows and it asks for Visual Studio in the check requirements part. I didn't had Visual Studio installed before, so I download and installed the Visual Studio Community. Then I clicked on the MySQL check button to see if Visual Studio was installed and I does not recognize it. (I also tried to close MySQL installation and open it again, and also restart my computer)
Do I need a specific version of Visual Studio?
Thanks,
André.

You do not need Visual Studio for MySQL.
However, if you would like to use "MySQL for Visual Studio", it will require VS 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, or newer versions as time goes on (per installer).
When installing using the Windows MSI installer, in Setup Type, you probably selected Developer Default, which includes "MySQL for Visual Studio", which will require Visual Studio. Choose a Setup Type that does not install "MySQL for Visual Studio" if you do not need VS.
