03/20/25 @Kurterino.聽 My reading of the Normative Resolution () is that you'll need both Brazilian and Swiss background checks.聽

You can get your Brazilian Federal background check online here:

Assuming that you live in Bahia, you can get your state-level background check here:

If you've registered an address in any other state with the PF during your residence, you can get your state background check on the site of the Tribunal de Justi莽a of that state.

@Kurterino For me, the way this worked was I got the Temporary Retirement Visa (it was good for 1 year).聽 As I understand it the function of the Visa is to enter Brasil to allow you to go the the PF and apply for the CRNM (which will be good for 2 years).聽 When the CRNM expires, you either renew for I believe 10 years, or if you are old enough, the renewal will be "indeterminado".聽

Is this what you are doing?聽 Renewal of the CRNM?

Unfortunately my Swiss background check isn鈥檛 clean anymore (It鈥檚 about narcotics) , but will be clean again in 5 years at most (AFAIK). Does anybody have any experience with this? My question at this point is if I should give it a try anyway, or if it鈥檚 smarter to wait a few years until it鈥檚 clean again? I鈥檒l still be able to spend 6 months per year in Brazil , and聽 there are other places that I know well and like a lot where could spend the other 6 months, so it wouldn鈥檛 be a huge sacrifice

03/22/25 @Kurterino.聽 I'm very sorry to hear that.

Depending on the severity and disposition of your charge, it might be worthwhile for you to consult a Brazilian attorney well before your Authorization for Residency expires, to determine whether this clause of the Law of Migration, Section IV, Art. 3 may work in your favor:

"III - outras hip贸teses definidas em regulamento.

搂 1潞 N茫o se conceder谩 a autoriza莽茫o de resid锚ncia a pessoa condenada criminalmente no Brasil ou no exterior por senten莽a transitada em julgado, desde que a conduta esteja tipificada na legisla莽茫o penal brasileira, ressalvados os casos em que:

I - a conduta caracterize infra莽茫o de menor potencial ofensivo;"

"III - other cases defined in regulations.

搂 1潞 A residence permit will not be granted to a person criminally convicted in Brazil or abroad by a final judgment, provided that the conduct is classified under Brazilian criminal law, except in cases where:

I - the conduct constitutes an offense of lesser potential harm;"

This law precedes the creation of the current Retirement Visa, and especially since you've already been granted an Authorization for Residency, there may be room for a renewal.聽

@abthree

Thanks a lot, that鈥檚 very helpful. I have come to like Brazil a lot and even bought a used scooter, so it might be worthwhile to give it a try. It鈥檚 a lot easier to be able to just travel back and forth without counting the days, plus I need to see an attorney anyway to do my taxes. I鈥檒l just try to find a large office with different attorneys/specialties , that should be easy to find, given that I live just 30 minutes from Salvador
