Enquiry about giving birth in Brazil
I will visit Brazil this April with my wife to give birth with our first baby in sha'a Allah, the main target is to get the Brazilian Passport for my child, I have read many articles regarding this but still hane some unanswered questions..
1- we have only one month tourist visa, we will arrive one month and half prior the delivery date, is it easy to extend the visa for another 3 months, or it will be extended for one month only?
2- I am in dilemma in choosing the city based on the type of birth required(which is natural birth) , giving birth cost and existing of helpful immigration consultant in the city who can speed the process of getting the permanent visa and the child passport, since we are planning to go back home (Sudan) after two or three weeks maximum after giving birth.聽 聽
Till now I have being suggested Floripa where can I find my way through the natural birth and it is affordable as well although I do not any hospitals or doctors over there, another one suggested Curitiba, but in both cities I am not sure whether the process of getting the passport and getting the protocol number at least for permanent visa will fast or not?
these are the main issues, others will come later, waiting your response,
thanks in advance,,

It depends on the kind of VITUR Tourist Visa that you have been granted whether or not you will be able to extend it. If you've been granted a single use visa valid for a 30 day visit then you will not be able to extend your stay.
If you have been granted a 5 year, multiple entry visa then you can extend your stay. You need to look at the text at the bottom of the visa (see red arrow in photo below). If it states that the visa is valid for 5 years then you're ok. If not then you should check with the Consulado-Geral do Brasil in Sudan to find out if you will be able to extend your stay. Since the stay is limited to 30 days, it's quite likely that any extension will also be limited to 30 days.

Once the child is born you will have to register the birth at the Cart贸rio de Registro Civil in the city where the birth takes place and obtain a Birth Certificate. You will need to apply for the child's passport at the Federal Police passport office, this takes several days to a few weeks depending on how busy they are. I think your time frame is a bit tight for you to accomplish everything if you can't get an extension. The child WILL NOT require a Permanent Visa, since he/she will be automatically a Brazilian citizen.
If you and your wife are intending to apply for "Perman锚ncia Definitiva com base em filho brasileiro, then you'll both need to have all the documents ready for the application BEFORE you arrive in Brazil. You won't really need to worry about YOUR Tourist Visa situation if the child is born here, since the application for permanency MUST be accepted regardless of your visa being expired when the permanency application is based either on marriage to a Brazilian or based on a Brazilian child.

... what is written at the visa is that " valid for 30 consecutive days from date of entry...first entry within 90 days from date of issue...not valid for work or study" , and it is a multiple entry visa as well. Anyway, I will ask the consulate as you said..if they give me an extension for another 30 days, when these extra 30 days will start? starting from date of expiry of the first 30 days, so the total will be 60 days, or starting from the date of issuing the extension,so the actual total will be less than two months?
I have read your topic "IMPORTANT NEW CHANGES FOR THOSE APPLYING FOR PERMANENT VISAS"..It was published in September, do they really make the procedure faster now?
If we applied for VIPER after the child birth, are we going to get the permanent visa immediately and we can go back home and come to Brazil after few months to receive the "C茅dula de Identidade Estrangeiro" ? since we are not planning to stay in Brazil in this stage..and do we have to wait for the child passport issuing to apply for VIPER or we can apply after getting the birth certificate directly?
may I know what kind of documents required to be prepared BEFORE coming to Brazil for applying to VIPER?
Any tips for the cities where the process can be done faster with affordable prices for giving birth?
thanks,,
Now that has all changed...
If all the paperwork is in order and all present then you are granted permanency immediately, you are registered in the RNE and the only part you WAIT for is the C茅dula which they say will take 60 days to produce (Some get theirs sooner others take longer). Your passport gets stamped to reflect your permanent status;
Once you've been granted permanency you are allowed to be outside Brazil for up to 2 years before you would lose PR status, so many come back to Brazil for a quick visit every 2 years just to avoid losing permanency. (No minimum stay limit - just an entry and exit stamp in your passport restarts the clock).
If you have all the necessary paperwork ready upon arrival and have the child here, I personally would recommend that you remain in Brazil at least until you have received the C茅dula if you can afford to do so. It has to be picked up in person, the Federal Police will not mail it out and it cannot be picked up by a third party. Once you've got your permanency then you simply present your C茅dula and passport whenever entering or leaving Brazil. they stamp your passport and away you go.

thanks again,,
And you are also correct, you would be able to stay out of Brazil for up to two years, not 90 days as before.

Also, I would suggest Florianopolis for the birth.

Hope this message finds you well, I am planning to visit Florianopolis soon to have our first baby there and I would like to ask about ( all the paperwork is in order and all present in order to grant permanency ).
1) What exactly are these papers?
2) If it is in English, should I translate it to Portuguese?
3) Should I stamp these papers from聽 the local Brazilian Consulate where I live ?
Your guide is appreciated

Make sure you have someone with you who speaks Portugese when you visit the Policia Federal in Floripa...they have a sign up which says all information to the foreigners will be given in English. 馃馃槃馃槄. Amazing,聽 isnt it ?
Where can I authenticate the copy of my passport? And What do you mean by complete?
And the identity card of the other parent, why not the passport?
What is the Unappealable jugment of the action....?
Please clarify these point for me, thank you
Jim
The unappealable is if you and your partner are not living together or are not married so you are takibg responsibility of tge child and also visitation rights.
what about Marriage certificate ? And the paernts' Birth certificates? Are they are needed

I wanted to ask about natural births in public hospitals in Florianopolis. Do you know anyone that's giving birth in a public hospital naturally and if it was a positive or negative experience?
I am planning on moving to Florianopolis early May 2018 to give birth. I know public hospitals are for free thus the cheapest option but i want to make sure it is a safe option as well.
Looking forward to reading from you soon.
Despite the reputation of C Sections in Brazil鈥檚. The hospital鈥檚 in Florianopolis give first priority to always try for a Natural Birth, Incase of any unforeseen incidents or if the couple chooses then they will go for a C Section.
