wavz: It's indeed cheaper to live in non big cities and non touristy places but you may not like it there. Most of the time, the people and the system there are not used to foreigners so you may find it difficult to integrate or get things done especially with the language barrier. Personally, I feel the south is the best to live because of the exposure, development and opportunities. I don't know much about Rio but I can tell you about São Paulo in detail. The city of São Paulo is located in the State of São Paulo and it's just one of the 645 cities in the state. Yes, the state alone is over a quarter of Nigeria's land size with a population of 45m. It's very possible to find and live in cheaper cities within the state of São Paulo. You can explore cities that are close to São Paulo city. It's not always a traveling distance, you might just be crossing a street to enter the next city. There are also cities categorized as São Paulo interior, they are farther from main cities but they are cheaper, you may get bored there too depending on your personality. For example Campos do Jordão, it's a touristy interior city about 3 hrs drive from the city and very hilly, if you like nature, you may like it there. You may stay in any of these cities and move to SP City later if you want, it's more feasible to move within a state than to move inter state. Brazil is too big that moving from North to South for example will be a big headache. There are places that will take you 3 days by road to get there, even Rio to São Paulo is 7 hrs by road Another city you can check out is Curitiba in the state of Paraná. It's conducive and relatively cheap. Rio and São Paulo are expensive especially with accommodation but food and transportation isn't a problem in SP. São Paulo is more developed than Rio but more crowded. São Paulo is the New York of Brazil. Rio is more of an older city with older buildings and lots of graffiti but the people are generally perceived to be nicer. I hope I answered your questions. 5 Likes |

koolsammie: Yes, it's possible. You can apply directly to the university of choice. You may still be able to get grant from the university directly if it's not already competitive. GCUB grant is for international students specifically but the government bolsa is for everyone, there's still a chance to get it. If you don't get it, it's still tuition free but you won't be getting the monthly stipends. 1 Like |

oloyemeji: Studio apartments are usually kitnets for students and the price I almost the same with a two bedroom. Apartments in Brazil are generally very small, studio apartments are usually about 30-40 square meters and 2 bedrooms from 48 upwards, the bigger, the more expensive. 1500 reas is about $306 today at R$4.95 to $1 Asides rent, you'll pay condominium fee, water, gas (if charged separately) and electricity. |

oloyemeji: It depends on the type of rental. If it's a temporary furnished apartment such as airbnb, it tends to be more expensive budget between USD1k - 1500. Might be lucky to find cheaper. Unfurnished 2 bedroom apartments in a good area, 1500 reas upwards. Generally, Food budget depends on what your family eats but here are prices of some things Feeding 5kg Rice.

untamedd: Your police report is from Nigeria and you need it for your own PR application only, has nothing to do with your baby who is a Brazilian. To use your police report here, you have to legalize it either at the Brazilian embassy in Nigeria or Nigerian embassy in Brazil. CPF is not a requirement except this is a recent development and it has to be as recent as this month cos I know ppl who did it last month. Assuming CPF is now a requirement, anyone can get a CPF. Everyone I know including myself got their CPF as a tourist and it's valid for life. You get your child's birth certificate at the cartorio, they only need your name and passport number and the yellow paper from the hospital. Other documents application do not need your police report either Only your own PR and Naturalization need it. You have no reason to apply for asylum. 3 Likes |

Bammybestowed: Not True Everything stated by your friend is false. You do not need to apply for asylum for any reason. I don't know if it's a recent update but you do not need CPF for police report. Assuming you do, anybody can get a CPF number even a foreigner. You also do not need Police Character to get any of your child's document. You can even get a CPF while in Nigeria. 2 Likes |

[quote author=Asmy91 post=127948036][/quote] If you have someone in Lagos, ask them to go the embassy to check for you. They are not the best in responding to inquiries or complaints. Something similar happened to a friend, DHL picked up but couldn't use the return waybill possibly because it had expired so it was just sitting in DHL office. My point is it could be from either party so check both. |
Travel / Re: Giving Birth In Brazil by untamedd(f): 4:44am On Jan 15 |
Asmy91: DHL didn't respond to your emails? Your return label should have a tracking number which you can use to track it. You can go back to where you got the return label and ask then to find out where it's at if it's not trackable on their website |

Someone here reached out to me asking questions which I did my best to answer even she was being inconvenient. At some point she started sounding entitled then I decided to reduce the rate which I respond to her. Two days ago, I suddenly got a message from her asking if she could use my phone number while filling her form (just one of her ridiculous requests).I'm in Brazil with a Brazilian phone number. I replied her asking her not to use my number and her response was she has already used it since i didn't answer her on time. I told her to remove the number, she said "Is done, no big deal". I don't know this woman from anywhere and her entitlement is sickening. I have already blocked her and decided to call her out here. I don't know the nature of her application and the type of documents she used to submit, whether genuine or not so I'm considering changing my number. If I don't, God help her that the embassy reaches out to me. 2 Likes 1 Share

lovetterrison: I’m not very familiar with conferences but to be safe, just have your invite notarized. Visa category would still be Tourist visa, in the column asking for the purpose of your visit, you can put conference. Yes, you need to book appointment on e-consular, your mode of submission would be through courier and you can then use DHL to submit after the embassy gives you the approval to do so. However, the embassy sent out a notice that they are currently not processing visas till further notice and in case of an emergency, you can send them an email. |

icu4: After interview or after submission? If they give you back your passport without a visa on it after interview, isn’t that refusal? |

Travel / Study In Brazil: Admissions And Visa Procedures by untamedd(f): 4:23pm On Oct 12, 2023 |
Hello Everyone! I know there is a thread already about Giving birth in Brazil. On that thread, I have seen many people make inquiries about study without a lot of response. I decided to open a thread dedicated to studying in Brazil. Brazil welcomes International students to study in their country and all public Universities are tuition free even for foreigners. Brazil is also trying to encourage International students to come and study here in Brazil, hence they have set up GCUB which is a body that provides funding (grants) to international students who intend to study in Brazil. The funding is a monthly stipend provided to support students while studying. Without it, you can still study for free. Admission Process Each faculty decides their own admission process so if you’re interested in a particular course, you’ll need to check the faculty website to see when they usually start their admission process as well as requirements. Some faculties require entrance exams, some don’t. If they do, you’ll make arrangements to write the exam in Nigeria. Language Brazil universities are one of the best in the world. Learning language is Portuguese but as an international student, you can request to do your work in English. Depending on your faculty requirements, you may need to write Portuguese proficiency exam or complete a Portuguese course within one year of admission. Most of the Universities website have the option to view their website in English language at the top of the website. If not you can use your browser’s translation tool to translate the website. After Gaining Admission You’ll need to authenticate your documents at the Ministry of foreign affairs and Ministry of Education. You’ll also legalize with the Brazilian embassy in Lagos. You’ll then apply for your study visa. If you have a study grant, you may not need to prove financially capability, otherwise you’ll need to. If you know about this process, please feel free to contribute. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

deegalaxy: Yes, you can. Even if you travel on the last day of your visa validity, you are still entitled to stay 90 days and extend for another 90 days. In some cases, immigration may stamp you in for just 30 days at first but you can still extend it. |
Travel / Re: Giving Birth In Brazil by untamedd(f): 3:34am On Aug 18, 2023 |
Bammybestowed: You can enter Brazil as long as your visa is valid, that means you have until next year March to enter Brazil. Now, after you enter Brazil, you are only allowed to stay 90 days, extendable by another 90 days. Your first 90 days starts counting once you enter Brazil. Hope it’s clear now? 1 Like |
