The cherished dream of Ostap Bender, Brazil does not appear so often among the residents of Russia, both in tourist destinations and in search queries about emigration. And yet, the question of how to move to Brazil, lovers of the sea, sun, wild monkeys and white pants periodically ask visa center specialists and consultants on migration issues.
A little about the country
Brazil is located in warm latitudes and even at the height of winter it rarely gets colder than + 15 ° С. The cost of residential real estate and utilities in the country is much lower than Russian realities, and the attitude of the local population towards foreigners is very cordial and welcoming. A little overshadowed by the high crime rate, but if you avoid walking in criminal areas, you can live in Brazil for a long time, successfully and happily.
Where to begin?
Russian citizens will not have to come up with special reasons for entering Brazil for tourist purposes. An agreement between the governments of the two countries canceled the visa regime and now, to visit Brazil for a period of no more than 90 days, a Russian resident will only need a foreign passport. If your goal is immigration to Brazil, you need to apply for a visa. The documents are to be submitted to the consular section of the Brazilian Embassy. Usually, Brazilians are very loyal to all applicants and can refuse to issue a visa only if the applicant has problems with the law at home or has already violated Brazil's immigration laws earlier.
Legal ways to move to Brazil for permanent residence
The next step for a potential immigrant is obtaining a residence permit in Brazil. Experts believe that the immigration policy of the Brazilian authorities is quite strict and there are not many legal ways to obtain Brazilian citizenship. The most common among foreigners:
- Conclusion of marriage with a citizen or citizen of Brazil. The foreign spouse is automatically issued a residence permit for a period of four years.
- Family reunification. If close relatives, children or parents are Brazilian citizens, the foreigner has the right to apply for a residence permit.
- Business immigration is a real and not too expensive way to move to Brazil compared to other countries.
- Employment. The need for qualified specialists in the country is very acute and it is quite possible for a certified foreigner to find a job.
A residence permit is issued on the basis of a package of necessary documents and is renewed as necessary.
All works are good
If you want to develop in your profession, build a good career and at the same time receive decent wages for your work, pay attention to the possibility of working immigration to Brazil. A plus will be social guarantees and bonuses, which local employers do not forget. For example, in Brazil it is customary that a company pays its employees the way to and from work, reimburses the costs of a gym, etc. Material support for the birth of a child in Brazil is provided to both parents, even if the mother at the time of birth was not registered in an official job. Qualified specialists working in the country can also afford health insurance.
The most demanded blue-collar jobs in Brazil are IT professionals, nurses and doctors, agronomists, livestock breeders, translators and guides.
The negative aspects of employment in Brazil include the peculiarities of the mentality of the local population. Like all residents of Latin America, Brazilians do not like to bother too much and overcome bureaucratic difficulties, and therefore, a local employer, other things being equal, will prefer to hire a compatriot so as not to deal with paperwork for a foreigner. If you manage to prove your own worth and convince the Brazilian employer of your special exclusivity, you are guaranteed a residence permit with a work visa.
A work visa and a residence permit for it are issued to a foreigner for two years. After the expiration of the validity period, the permit can be renewed, and after four years of work and compliance with all the laws of the country, you can apply for permanent resident status and Brazilian citizenship.
Business people
One of the fastest and easiest schemes for obtaining Brazilian citizenship is investing in the country's economy. To obtain a residence permit, which will become permanent after a few months of residence in Brazil, it is enough to open your own company with an authorized capital of 100 thousand US dollars. Three years as a resident with a permanent residence permit entitles you to apply for Brazilian citizenship.
Investments in agriculture, tourism and services are considered to be the most promising in Brazil. Real estate is gradually increasing in value, but its purchase is still profitable in comparison with the developed countries of Europe and America. The only negative is the high tax rate for foreigners when purchasing an apartment or house. An immigrant will have to pay a tax of 16 percent of the cost of square meters, while a Brazilian citizen will only be withheld 2-5 percent.
You will be declared husband and wife
Immigration to Brazil by marriage, like in other countries of the world, is one of the fastest ways to obtain a residence permit, and then citizenship of the country. A foreign spouse becomes the holder of a residence permit automatically, one has only to submit the package of documents required after the wedding to the local authorities.
Over the next four years, the immigrant will have to live in Brazil and confirm the viability of his marriage - spend time with his spouse, run a joint household, relax and make joint visits to relatives and answer questions from the migration authorities in interviews and interviews. If during the probationary period no overlaps arise, the foreigner has the right to apply for Brazilian citizenship and obtain a Brazilian passport.
Think for yourself, decide for yourself
Brazil allows dual citizenship, and therefore, when obtaining its passport, you will not have to give up the previous one. Be prepared for the fact that when submitting documents for a passport, you will be asked to change your first and last name to a more euphonious one, according to the Brazilians.
