Inquiries regarding permanent residence and Brazilian passport

C
#1
Hello,

I really hope I can get some answers to my questions here.

I am Lebanese and have 2 daughters. I gave birth to my youngest in Brazil in 2017, she got a Brazilian passport and we returned to Lebanon. I now want to apply for permanent residence. How long would it take for me to get it? Do I need to stay in Brazil during the whole period?

My other question is this. My eldest daughter, who was born in Lebanon, is turning 5 in July. I was told that she is eligible for obtaining the Brazilian passport since her sister was born in Brazil. Is it true? Do you know what the process is and how long should she stay in brazil in order to complete the paperwork?

I appreciate your assistance.

Regards,
Christel

If you have all the required documentation the issuance of the Protocolo for permanent residency is done on immediate basis on the date of your appointment.

However the actually PR cards take 45 to 90 days to be printed and sent back to the Policia Federal where you submitted your applications

You don鈥檛 have to stay in Brazil for the duration of the process.

Your 5 year old is eligible for the Brazilian citizenship based on a process called Provisional Naturalization.

However you can only apply for this after your child鈥檚 PR card is ready.聽

The processing time varies between 6 months to a year approximately

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Can I please know how long I have before my 5 year old won鈥檛 be eligible anymore? I mean, do I need to begin with her passport procedure as soon as possible or I have some time? She turns 5 in july, so can I apply for the permanent visa then in December apply for the passport?

As per the new law you can apply for it anytime before the child crosses 10 years of age.

That鈥檚 great news.

Sorry to bother you, but I have a final question. I was told last night that upon the new law, the permanent visa takes between 3-6 months to be issued, and that we have to stay in Brazil until it鈥檚 completed. Is that true? I can apply for it and return to my country, then travel back to take it when it鈥檚 ready?

I really appreciate your assistance.

If you provide everything required you will be given a protocolo which is a temporary visa that allows you to travel. I don't believe it takes 3 to 6 months. I've been told 30 to 60 days.

Last November, while the regulations were being changed and the Federal Police here were processing hundreds of refugees from Venezuela,聽 mine only took a month.聽 Now that the new rules are fully in place, I doubt that wait times have increased.

Our problem is really in the fact that we heard we weren鈥檛 allowed to leave the country before we get the permanent visa.

So it鈥檚 reassuring to know that we can leave and it won鈥檛 take more than a month.

Unfortunately there are a few people who give false information such as this to families in order to scare them.

The reality is that even when the Policia Federal issues the Protocolo they will explain the details and validity of the Protocolo to you.

The basic reason for the Protocolo is to show that your PR card is under process and it also gives you a right to enter and exit from the country but for a specific period of time

One more thing. If you do leave on your protocolo, it's a good idea to let PF know that you are leaving. I did the few times while waiting for the CIE. I did it by telephone.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Also, be aware that the Protocolo expires in six months, unless it's renewed by the Federal Police ()
Your life will be much easier if you're able to wait in Brazil until your CRNM (Carteira de Registro Nacional Migrat贸rio, formerly RNE/CIE) is issued.聽 If that's just not possible, follow Jim's advice to let the PF know that you'll be traveling on the Protocolo, and make sure you're back in time to receive your CRNM, and certainly no later than six months from the issue date of the Protocolo.
