Hello Wilej.

Q1. 3 to 6 months after submitting the required documents (i have heard of people who received it earlier than 3 months and some more than 6 months)

Q2. Yes. They can help you gather the necessary documents and application but their job ends once you submit the application with the immigration office. No one can influence how fast or slow your application is processed by the Policia Federal. Even a Brazilian President will be put to jail for trying to influence the process lol

Q3.(accommodation and hospital bills not included) 150-200 USD per person should be fine.

Q4. There are good Nigerians in Brazil, but Sorry, i don't hang with my fellow Nigerians here. When you come, you will understand.

Q5. If you meet the requirements for the job you should able to get it without any discrimination. Brazil has more Blacks than any African country except Nigeria. More blacks than any country in the world. More than half the Brazilian population are from black decent. Being black here is no problem.

Cheers

Hi Acme45. Unfortunately, the Brazilian consulate does not have a specific amount. Use the Schengen daily rate as a guide which suggests you to maintain a balance of around € 4000+ for a period of 3 months+. The more money the better and the longer the money stays in your account the better. Avoid bulk transfers within the time period require for your statement of account as it is an indication that the money may not belong to you.

Remember that meeting the financial requirements does not guarantee you will get the visa. Other factors are taken into consideration.

Finally, if you genuinely want to give birth in a private hospital, rent accommodation and other expenses and you have saved money for that, then the money in your bank account will definitely be enough.

Thanks

pls what about the government Hospital what is the cost?

Free.
Please take your time to read through the thread from page 1, it'll only take few hours.

Adjo10:


Thanks TJ.

I understand your question but it is very subjective. The best paid jobs in Brazil are government jobs and you need to be a Brazilian to work with the government.

If you are a graduate and well qualified and speak Portuguese fluently then you should be able to land yourself a well paid job with an international organization or the private sector.

If you have a good business idea, then you have a market of 240 million people. If your idea succeeds then you could be a rich man.

Just to put things in context, Brazil’s minimum wage is currently around US$ 250.

I hope this was helpful. Thanks

pls is the US$250 FOR WEEKLY OR MONTHLY?
Thanks

MrBrownJay1:


will depend on a lot of things.... which city you want to live in? where in that city do you want to live? how you want to live? what you gonna do there etc etc

but if you want the cheapest of the cheapest, you can rent a studio in a favela for 250/350Reais, monthly food on a budget for 2people 500Reais...

@Adjo10 Good day I was wondering with the tourist visa will I be able to open an account register a sim and all?

Hello juliusocean. With the tourist visa you can get a CPF number (Tax number) in Brazil. This tax number can help you register a sim card and go to the hospital but that is all you can do with a tourist visa + CPF. You cannot open a bank account or attend public schools and many more unless you have a resident permit (which you get after your child is born)

I will advise you to take your time to read the consulates visa requirements as all your questions about visa related issues have been answered there. Here is the link:

To give you a quick answer, Brazil does not accept financial sponsorship for a tourist visa and the account should be the last 6 months.

Thanks alot when you visited what city did you stay I am considering salvador and florianopolis the least house I saw was 75k per month when I converted maybe I need to be on ground to get something cheaper?

@Adjo10 please pardon me did you rent an apartment from your base or you did over there if yes How i think this part has not been clarified I read the thread twice over now its the missing piece of the puzzle

Did my little research while waiting for the experts.... Thought I share with you guys

Keep the thread moving

Hello juliusocea. Nice. I can see you are doing a lot if research which is a very good step. I am assuming that you or your partner are going with the purpose of giving birth. Based on that i would definitely recommend Florianopolis over Salvador as it is much much safer. Your unborn baby carries a lot of responsibilities so safety should be first before any other thing.

75k is very cheap and i am assuming that is in Salvador. As a tourist in Brazil “cheap “ can end up being super expensive as crime is high.

To be realistic, you are not going to get it any cheaper than that when you are on the ground. You see... Brazil’s economy is highly dependent on tourism. Brazilians can easily detect tourists especially that you do not speak Portuguese. Prepare to pay high and live as a tourist at least until your Brazilian baby is born. By then, you have adjusted to the system.

I know right now you may think things will be cheaper for you once you arrive in Brazil but I’m telling you the truth, come prepared to live like a tourist for a while and be prepared to spend for your baby’s safety.

Check Airbnb for Accomodation. Choose safe areas which are usually a bit expensive. Protect your baby from mosquitoes by choosing an air conditioned apartment. Once your baby is born and you and your family have your permanent residency, then live like a local. Thanks

Quick update.

So, the interview story is true. I got an invitation mail two weeks after applying and I have done the interview.
They basically want to see if you are not pregnant, then ask for your mission in brazil, etc.
They don't want to see a baby bump, Infact, it's auto denial.
If you are a lady applying, you are getting invited automatically. Nigerians have really Bleep*d things up.
let me just stop here.
@Adjo10 thanks for always responding to comments here. God bless.

Thanks for the update afelouz.

Its been 3 weeks now and if they are convinced that you are not pregnant during the interview and you are not showing yet, they wont ask for medicals I think.

My wife and I applied for a tourist visa since on the 9th of September, no word yet. It has been showing "Under Review" anytime I track it online. Yesterday makes it exactly 21 working days.
