Bom dia a todos,

Como foi a tua noite?

Perhaps this is the best time for you to apply for your Brazilian visa as a tourist. The country is hosting the world under 17 football tournament later this month.

Why not take advantage of this and apply as a genuine tourist because events like this attracts football fans from around the world.

Thanks for the explanation, since I will be in Brazil 2months before the delivery of the baby, I can do the police report a week to departure and give it to a friend.

Other documents like marriage certificate, do I need to legalize that too at the ministry of foreign affairs?

Is legalizing a document at the ministry of foreign affair same as a notary public?

But won’t it be funny when they see ones name after they asked and issue the visa because you said you weren’t pregnant. Hope they cant decide not to legalize the document based on this?

Thank you All. I am humbled by your comments. God bless you all. It is my prayer that we all can give our children options. I don’t know much about Brazil but i will share the little i know with the hope that it will make an impact in someone’s life.

I will also encourage us all to kindly do further research on whatever is said here because we are humans and cannot know everything. Stay blessed All and let’s keep the thread alive.

Thanks

Hey afelouz. You do notary before submitting it to foreign affairs.

You only need marriage certificate if you are applying for PR on the bases of marriage. For PR based on a Brazilian child, you don’t need. In any case, it is always safer to have more documents than less. So yes, you need to legalise the marriage certificate too.

About it being funny with the embassy. It doesn’t matter whatever you told the embassy or even if you entered illegally, when your baby is born, you are no more a tourist. You are now a resident so they embassy will legalise it for you.

That is why they are trying to prevent pregnant women from going in the first place because they know so far as the baby is born in Brazil they have no more power. The constitution is supreme and everyone must bow down to the constitution.

afelouz:
Thanks alot for the headsup and for coming back to the thread. I have started making arrangements to come in December or January at most. I have concluded on Floripa but the real estate agent I met from an expat group I belong too was concerned as december/january is a busy period for tourists and hardly will one get a good apartment or even get any at'all in Floripa. So, is there any other suggestion or a nearby city that is safe that one can live till the tourists in Floripa are gone? I really don't want to go to Rio or SP.

Also, both husband and wife will get their police report separately right?

thanks alot.

Thanks juliusocean. For the documents for PR application as parents of a Brazilian baby you need the following:

1. Original birth certificate of the baby (This is the basis for which you are claiming PR)

2. Your own birth certificate clearly showing the name of your parents ( This is because your own parents too can apply for PR once you have been granted one). This must be legalised and translated into Portuguese in Brazil. (Please follow the legalisation process i outlined yesterday.

3. Your passport

4. Police report of your country and any country you have live in in the last 5 years. (Not countries you have visited but lived in). Also legalised and translated.

5. A PR application form filled online and printed with the fee paid at the Banco do Brazil.

6. 2 passport photos

7. Proof of address in Brazil ( This is in most cases already on the newborn’s birth certificate).

8. Your CPF (tax number). Anyone can obtain this number so far as you are in Brazil. Wether a tourist or resident.

This is all you need. The immigration officer reserves the right to ask you for further documents but in most cases they don’t. This is just enough.

Please note that you don’t necessarily need to present a marriage certificate because it is acceptable by the law to be not married but have a child together. After all you are not applying based on marriage but based on a common child. It is however advisable to have your marriage certificate with you just in case but generally it is not needed.

Finally, you don’t need any proof of employment or funds. The Brazilian constitution guarantees that parents of a Brazilian child cannot be expelled from Brazil no matter what, wether poor or rich.

Cheers

You can try Joinville. It is not far from Floripa. Though Floripa is the capital of SC, Jointville is the biggest city. Accommodation may be cheaper and available there because it is not a tourist hotspot like Florianopolis. Accommodation in Florianopolis is expensive because rich Americans and Westerners come there for holidays.

pls in a case where one's wife is unable to get there can a girl get prego and work along with the wife for the same purpose?

Till now?

MrBrownJay1:


Very true... Floripa is expensive comparing to other cities in the state of Santa Catarina...but then, again you have to remember that also rich people from Sao Paulo and Río go to Floripa during the summer months. So the city truly gets saturated from beginning of december to mid february with Argentines going for Cheap vacation in brasil (aka can't afford to go all the way up to Rio) and rich people from Rio/SP. Só many better cities to go to in the south of Brasil BUT... you have to remember that SC is the state where them nazis ran to after the war... there is even a town called "little Germany" there aka BLUMENAU, and just for the record, 30% of the people there are from German decent and as a black person you will quickly get to figure it out.. not enough diversity there imho. Lol.

Joinville is more like a small beach town while Curitiba is a major city. So depending on what lifestyle people prefer, they can choose between the two. I personally wouldn't move there solely because Joinville would be too small for a proper place to start life over while Curitiba would not have enough of the glitz that Rio/SP got.. but then again, if people are going to give birth, Joinville might be quieter and better for immigration issues (less queues, fast expedition etc)

As for Airbnb, I believe that 1 week top, is the most anyone should stay before they can find more affordable local accommodation. No need to spend so much for so little.... for the price of a 2bedroom apt anywhere, you will only get a studio for the same price on Airbnb. Not worth it.

Again, people should check the website i posted earlier, and check prices... then compare the monthly prices on Airbnb for same neighborhoods...

Here is an idea below: furnished 1 bedroom apt in joinville (centro) will cost you monthly 600reais + 280Reais Condominio (aka building taxes) total: 880Reais. Thats about 215 USD...Airbnb for an apt in Joinville centro is about 15USD per night...thus a total of 450 USD for 30days....with the monthly Airbnb discount, you may get the apt for 375/400USD....there is no comparison.

Hello,

Thank you for your contributions so far, I have been a Guest/silent reader and i must say that you have been very helpful. Please I need information on how to apply for PR if one isn’t in the country or apply for visa using one’s child (who is a Brazilian) documents.

My wife is expected to give birth this month in Brazil but I’m unable to join her because my visa application was previously denied . Is there a way I can apply for my PR here or reapply for visa using my child ‘s documents?

Adjo10:


Hello SirTokunbo. Congratulations on your wife making it to Brazil. You can only apply for PR at the Polícia Federal in Brazil by being physically present. But there is good news. Let your wife ensure that your name is on the baby’s birth certificate as well as the baby’s passport. Then use your baby’s birth certificate to apply for visa category XI. You will be granted irrespective of your previous denial. It is a special visa for your case. You then have to report to PF in Brazil within 60-90 days of your arrival in Brazil to apply for your PR. Here is the link of the requirements for the XI visa at the consulate in Lagos. You just need to provide the documents that falls in your category. Copy and past the link in your browser.

I just want to advice any man at there wish to apply for Brazil tourist visa. He should add criminal record authenticate by Ministry of foreign affairs. If not your visa will be denied in Brasília, Brazil. Drug issue is a big subject in Brazil and Nigeria is a suspect.
