While I was in Ghana Africa, I was told they can call and receive worldwide. That was in 2014. And I did receive calls from there in the US as proof, although I could not call them from the US due to my carrier.Since 2021 I have my US phone, PCS ... Read More

I was 68 when I was naturalized in 2019, and I had to pass the CelpeBras for my application to be accepted.聽 I'm not aware of the rules being changed; it will be interesting to see how that turns out.聽 -@abthreeThat's why I said "may ... Read More

If you are 62 years old or older you may not have to take the Portuguese test. That is what an immigration told me, so I am waiting two more years before applying for naturalization.Yeah, as for the rest, get a good lawyer! Read More

I have always shipped regular cardboard boxes through the airline. Since Brazil stopped the 70lb limit about 10 years ago cardboard boxes don't hardly weigh anything so you get 50lb maximum protection and when they arrive they bring it to the ... Read More

@Brazil Bill sounds like a total scam if you knew someone at the port probably it would have been free. -@CanforbraThat's the point, it is a legal scam or at least an allowed one. But like all the tollbooths going up all over you have a ... Read More

@Peter Itamaraca He was not trying to get anything "fancy", just the run of the mill driver's license. Yes, it would be great if he knew Portuguese well enough, but that isn't the case. I believe in the States they have more accomodations, though ... Read More

@ClaudiaMonica I must admit this is the first time I think I have heard of a written test here (I believe they have now dropped on the on-line course). Normally you get a license on a like-for-like basis, plus an eye, medical and psychiatric test. ... Read More

@CanforbraGetting the letter means Brazil won't tax you. The port is different, they make their own rules. I would say they are more like the teamsters or the mafia. You want it, you pay to get it.I was wondering how much they were going to charge ... Read More

One other thing as well is to go to a AAA outlet to get an international driver's license issued. I believe it was good for 6 months here which would buy you time to get a Brazilian one.I know the first time I lived here my US license expired and ... Read More

It is complicated in going to all the right places but very easy to go through and have it done. The test itself is an all day affair and will be in Portuguese, obviously. Being the only North American to probably go through the testing where I was ... Read More

I just got the "request" for taxes for my shipment coming into Brazil on 27/12/2023 and I will have to pay an extra R$14,900 for the privilege of it coming into the Sao Paulo port.SHIP IT THROUGH THE AIRPLANE!!!And again, I have my Atestado de ... Read More

@sprealestatebrokerThank you for the video link. My wife and I had fun watching it as we love that area. Her brother lives in Resende and we looked for land in and around Maria de Fe in Minas. Being born and raised in Pennsylvania, I especially ... Read More

Only fresh fruits, veggies, and meats are problematic. Boxed or canned foods, frozen, etc. are not usually a problem either coming or going. Read More

Many, many moons ago I flew into La Paz, Bolivia and it took about a week to get used to the 14,000 (?) Feet atmosphere. A young girl that flew in with us had to be put on oxygen. We flew in while living in Panama City, Panama (right at about 50 ... Read More

My personal opinion is to bring it in the airplane with you. However, there are some things to think about.1) Are you moving to Brazil? While I don't know all the rules but if you are you can get a letter from the local consulate so you don't have ... Read More

Oh, and he had been a citizen since very young with his mother being Brazilian. He was born in the US but we did the citizenship paperwork with the consulate early on I just don't remember what age he was at the time other than very young. Read More

We got our son an exemption letter before coming and he was 20 years old at the time. He had lived in Brazil from between the ages of 6-10 years of age previously. There was absolutely no problems or questions. We got this from the consulate in the ... Read More

Personally, I generally feel safe, yet wary depending upon the place and people, in both the US and Brazil. In the US the only city I used to conceal carry in was DC but there were other places at times like San Antonio, TX. I did find it unique ... Read More

@roddieshoI will let you know what company I used and how everything turns out from shipping if/when it gets here (as I hear horror stories). I can already hear the port people waiting for me to pay for their Christmas by paying port "taxes" even ... Read More

Oh, the new permanent visa, at least for us married to Brazilians, doesn't expire Read More

@roddiesho I am trying to remember as it was back in 2008 but it couldn't have taken long since it was issues in 2008 and I arrived in September of that year. However, I was issued a VIPER from the Brazilian consulate in Atlanta so that might of ... Read More

I have to admit though that back in 2010 or 2011, my Brazilian wife and I (we are both medical missionaries) were speaking in the Santa Cruz area of Rio and the local drug dealer sent a message that he wanted to see us (to pray for his sick mother). ... Read More

It should also be noted that you reenter Brazil through the resident side. I just reentered a few weeks ago and went to the resident side but noted that I needed a Brazilian passport to fully enter through that side, However, you are then rerouted ... Read More

Hello, my name is Bill, I am from the US and this is the second time I have been living in Brazil. I am married to Elen who is from Brazil. The first time we lived here was from 2008 to 2012 and now from 2021. I have a CPF, a Permanent Resident ... Read More
