floridarob Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Instead of waiting until the last minute, I decided to go thru the process for the upcoming visa requirement for US Citizens... Didn't require any banking info.... I had to upload a foto like 3 or 4 times, i'd get an email saying no showing teeth (I was smiling) then another they couldn't see my eyes (I winked) another they couldn't see my ears.... I'm guessing that they're using Ai to process this stuff... In the end, it's took 7 days, but really only 3 days if you do the picture right 👍 Primeone385, xpaulo, Mavica and 1 other 3 1 Quote
pazubane Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Got mine last March, good for 10 years. Took 5 days for me from payment to getting the eVisa. Remember to have 2 printed copies w/ you upon arrival: "Recommendations: Before you embark on your travel to Brazil, there is a crucial step you must take. We kindly request that you PRINT TWO COPIES of your eVisa document. These printed copies will be REQUIRED upon your arrival at the airport and at immigration control when entering Brazilian territory." TheBossBabyback and floridarob 2 Quote

Members Novarunner Posted March 15 Members Posted March 15 I got a visa in March of 2024 that says it is good until March of 2034. Is that still good or do I now need something else? Thailand, Singapore and Vietnam in January was amazing but I need to get back to Brazil. Also, I may have the opportunity to become a remote worker in about a year. If there is anybody out there - ideally American (disclosing my nationality and cringing is a new feeling for me that I really dislike) - that is not so much retired but living and working in Brazil, I would really, really, really like to chat with you. I have a bunch of questions about taxes and owning or renting property in Brazil. Latbear4blk, hornyfrog and Primeone385 3 Quote

That can ultimately be used for a place to stay. Also congrats on getting to work remote in Brazil. I would love for that to happen to me. lol but I think thats totally obvious . Quote

I have a bunch of questions about taxes and owning or renting property in Brazil. Hello. I own a place here in Rio and now live here permanently as a resident. I was granted an investment visa for business several years back My friends group here in Brazil consists of several other expats (gay, straight and all things in between) who have permanent residency or citizenship in Rio or other parts of Brazil due to work, retirement, investment, marriage / family, etc. Many, like me — but not all — are also originally from the US. Some are originally European, some are Asian, one is Australian, a few from other South American countries, one from Africa. Two of them are immigration lawyers who live / work in Brazil and run a expat immigration / relocation consulting firm, and it’s very busy right now with lots of US citizens trying to expatriate to other countries ASAP (easy to guess why). Out of courtesy / respect, I am not going to post or provide any names or links on here without any permissions, but feel free to DM me if you have any questions, and I will try to lead you in the right direction. Brazil can be a bureaucratic nightmare (the famous saying here is “Brazil is not for beginners”), so getting knowledgeable experienced help with boots on the ground to navigate the entire process would be best. But in spite of its myriad of complications and issues, no one I know has ever regretted moving here. Primeone385 and Mavica 2 Quote
