Thank You in advance.

This four-year period can be further reduced. If the resident has a Brazilian wife or child, he can apply for citizenship after one year. If he has certain professional, scientific or artistic abilities, he is eligible for Brazilian citizenship after two years. Three years of permanent residence entitles foreigners for a citizenship who own a property or business of a certain value.
Now this is pre 2017 when I came.
After living in Brazil continuously for one year after the issue date of your CRNM, you can apply to be naturalized as a citizen.  The normal waiting period is four years, but it's shortened for spouses of Brazilian citizens.
If you continue to live abroad, you can't apply for citizenship; your CRNM continues to be valid for residency in Brazil, however, as long as you don't remain outside Brazil for longer than two years at a time.
You cannot be out of Brasil for more than 2 years after you gain CRMN or process begins again.
You also have to pass a written Portuguese test
Well, you have to write to your University´s registrar office to send you your transcript of records, have that translated in Portuguese and have that validated by a university in Brazil. This area of discipline is well exploited and the curriculum and principles are very similar anywhere in the world so "revalidation" should not be a problem. However, fluency in Portuguese is a must if you take on a job in Brazil... Employment not guaranteed especially with some positions if you are a permanent resident. If you´re a citizen, chances are better especially civil service. Good luck!

At first I will try to look for Human Resource work or Marketing Job after I studied a Portuguese Language.
Or to put a business .
hurdles. Lots of taxes to pay. Your wife should know.
No work without a work visa or becoming a permeant resident.
Investment Visa will be expensive.
After all documents filed for permeant resident and granted, along with registry of marriage and live here a year you apply for citizenship. (written Portuguese test and to be in HR a must)
Cannot leave Brasil over two years or it starts the process again.
Yep salaries low and taxes high.

Question can I apply for Permanent Visa here in Riyadh?
Thank You.
Question can I apply a for permanent visa here in Saudi Arabia?
How about permanent visa ? Can i apply here in Saudi?
You do not apply for a work visa until you have a sponsorship from a company and approved by the Brazilian Gov. You do not apply for jobs with the embassy.
You do realize that site is saying a "head hunter" is working to fill a position in the health care system. It is not a job offer and probably many more head hunters are also looking for qualified Brazilian's citizens for the job.

The link in your post doesn't say anything about applying for residency; it's just job listings, and most of them are not for Brazil, although they're labeled as such. The "freelance" jobs listed would not include a work visa, so would be of questionable legality, until you obtained permanent residency, which will let you apply for a Labor Card and obtain paid employment.
You can only apply for permanent residency at a PolÃcia Federal office in Brazil, not at an embassy or consulate abroad. As Texanbrazil said, the usual way to do that is to request a VITEM XI visa based on family unification (i.e. to live with your Brazilian spouse in Brazil) at the nearest Brazilian Consulate or Embassy, and then to register with the PolÃcia Federal shortly after your arrival, and request your permanent residency.
If you were married outside Brazil, you will need to register your marriage at a Brazilian Consulate in order to request a VITEM XI. The instructions for this are generally on the Consulate and Embassy websites in the "Services for Brazilians" section, and usually in Portuguese only, since technically, it will be your wife who is registering the marriage -- and requesting your visa and permanent residency, for that matter.
As for citizenship, as already discussed, as the spouse of a Brazilian citizen you can apply after one continuous year of residence, that year being counted from the issue date of your CRNM. Once you apply, though, be aware that the Ministry of Justice process for processing naturalizations is VERY slow, so there's no way to tell when you'll see any action. I applied for naturalization on April 16 of this year. Not having heard anything in four months, I went to the PolÃcia Federal to inquire. They assured me that there was no problem with my application, they just hadn't forwarded it to BrasÃlia yet: I should just be patient.
Once you have a tourist visa and in Brazil go to the PF office to apply.
abthree has given you great advice and as he said PR cannot be done at an Embassy or Consulate office.

Perhaps there is some confusion because you've heard that there is such a thing as a "permanent visa" that one could apply for at a Brazilian Consulate abroad.
In fact, there used to be. It was called the VIPER, and it was abolished for all new applicants during the major rewrite of Brazil's immigration laws that was enacted in May 2017, and effective in November 2017. Even the VIPER wasn't open-ended, though: you couldn't apply for it, then hold it. It had a trigger. You had to declare an anticipated arrival date in Brazil, and if you missed that date, you would have had some explaining to do. And you still had to report to the PolÃcia Federal shortly after arrival, to register and request your ID card, the CIE, now the CRNM.
Under the new law, the VIPER was replaced by the VITEM XI, a temporary visa, but only for purposes of getting you into Brazil. You now have to complete the entire permanency process with the PolÃcia Federal in-country.
I hope that clarifies things.
Thanks ,
Vin

The website for the Brazilian Embassy in Riyadh doesn't seem to have a page showing the documentation required for a VITEM XI visa. Here's the page from the site of the Brazilian Embassy in Abu Dhabi, showing the documentation requirements for both spouses:
The requirements should be the same in Riyadh, but you should contact them by email to confirm, and to find out how to make an appointment. Their email address is:
consular.riade@itamaraty.gov.br
According to their site, visas may take up to 45 working days to process.
Thanks
Here's the list of documents that you and your wife need to pull together to request your permanent residency at the PolÃcia Federal:
If you arrive in Brazil with the docs in hand and get to the PF ASAP, you should be able to get your application in, no sweat. Your card will probably take 2-3 months to be returned to the PF office where you apply, but if you leave a "Procuração" (Power of Attorney, from a cartório) with your in-laws, they can pick it up for you.
Good luck!
