I feel most people don't really go for the PR tho, due to the language issue and all they just want to secure the child and they fall back after birthing... How about your friends who applied hope they made it through are they citizens now? The wait is not easy o

Yea i can understand. But it is best to go for PR because it is the best way of ensuring that you don’t go through all these visa issues again next time you want to give birth in Brazil. PR is somehow an assurance that your future children will be Brazilians at least. It is worth the fight.

Unfortunately, most if my friends who gave birth heard about Brazil late in their pregnancies so they came in a rash. They had no time to plan well. So it will definitely take them longer to get their citizenship. Most people think of US or Canada when it comes to giving birth. But they will make it at the end. They will all wave the beautiful Brazilian flag one day. At least before the next world cup lol. I wonder who i will support if Nigeria and Brazil should face each other at the World cup

Cheers

when you say they had no time to plan well what actually do you mean?

How does not planning well affects the duration of them becoming citizens?

Which city did you give birth?

Thank you so much for your untimely efforts in answering all questions posted on this thread, I have read this thread over and over again but I still have a question. Do you have any idea of the current thriving jobs or businesses in Florianopolis precisely, I’ve checked online, saw mostly English teaching jobs and tour guide jobs. If you don’t mind can you kindly tell me other types of jobs or businesses that might boom their. Thank you.

Good question. Naturalization requires you to have PR. The only exception is if you have lived here continuously for 15 years. Applying for PR requires you to provide specific documents, translations and legalisation. If not well prepared, this can take you an eternity. So ultimately, you are delaying your naturalization process by delaying your PR. Note that, the number of years required for you to naturalized starts from the date you receive your PR card and not from the day to entered Brazil.

Secondly, after PR there is a language requirement to naturalization. If you don’t plan well, you will spend 10 years here without getting to the required level for naturalization.

You talked about the legalization but
That translation part how does it work we're hearing that for the first time..

She'd talked about the translation/translating too. Since Brazil is a Portuguese speaking country all documents have to be translated to Portuguese by an authorized translator

The question you answered was asked after you said your friends that recently gave birth in Brazil would experience delay in their PR application cos they came unprepared.

What do you mean by that?

By being unprepared were they supposed to come with so documents or money or test or report, etc?

By being unprepared maybe they where on a budget so you can't stay if you're going broke already.. They didn't have some documents in hand etc

juliusocean:

I think so, there must be agencies that carry out that function.

If it is done outside Brazil then I think one would have to notorize it.

That's what I thought too when I saw that question. I just wanted clarity.

Thanks.


Truly one needs to prepare properly for an extended stay cos having to pay monthly rent for additional months after spending ur budget on childbirth and to do all these without working or having access to public funds na to rush the next flight to MMA2 after collecting the baby's passport o! PR should wait before person 'je gbese'

Floripa is a seasonal island...during the summer month (nov til march) the city quadruple in population and gets all the tourist from SP, RIo and Argentina therefore lots of tourism jobs (hotel/tour guides/sales etc) but as soon as the season is over, then its right back to being "boring" as a city IMHO.
it also really depends on what languages you speak... if you speak Portuguese and English then you can easily find a job in a hostel/restaurant/bars or better yet start a small biz selling something original on the beach (although the sun aint for the faint of heart) but you will be surprised to see how much money you can make from buying a cooler and selling cold beer on the beach. depending on your background, you may also go to the foreign companies established in Floripa (or Brazilian companies that do business outside of Brasil) to drop your CV (you got nothing to lose). go to all the major hotels on the island to drop your cv and same with the countless hostels. most tourist stay closer to the beaches of Canasvieiras or Campeche while the city center is on the opposite side of the island, so you have a very wide area to drop CVs, but stay positive and always try to speak Portuguese even if you dont know much, it will show that you wanna learn and are trying. if you dont speak Spanish then i suggest you learn it if you want to stay in Floripa longer. btw the state of Santa Catarina is huge, and you should check the job ads for nearby cities, like Camboriu/Lages and further away.

check websites such as INDEED .com.br, TRABALHABRASIL .com.br, FLORIPAEMPREGOS .net, OLX or good ol' Floripa Facebook groups

meet locals, make friends with the locals as they know more about whats happening than us, and may be of more help than anything we may think of.

just cheer for the country that makes your heart beat the fastest, it will be a fantastic day regardless. i went to the France/Nigeria match during the WC in Brazil (I am born and bred from Paris) and although my heart was equally on both sides, i wore my French shirt and partied with my Naija brothas and sistas at the stadium, like there was no tomorrow (even though most Brazilians were cheering for Nigeria). if Nigeria ever eliminates Brazil in a WC match in Brazil, then unless you wan die, i suggest you jejely remove your jersey and quietly go home without celebrating.

MrBrownJay1 please shed some light on the translation issue if you can thank you

bro i wish i could but i have very little knowledge on the procedure... i am sure you could get a cheap translation and have it stamped in a cartorio though.... anything "legal" in Brazil has to go via a cartorio (like a notary office) so you might be able to bypass the "authorized translator" by having a cheaper translator (from an English speaking country).... and get it notarized afterwards. who knows?

thanks alot as for submitting of cvs i was wondering if anyone would hire a foreigner with no work permit i know its south america tho but it can be hard sometimes.....

i wouldnt recommend it because you would put yourself in the wrong side of the law and have your employer treat you as a low class desperate worker.... but, if you bring something to the company, many would turn a blind eye or simply help you get the proper documentation. do you have a skill that can be done online (translation/graphic design/programmer/web developper/SEO specialist etc) ? that would be a safer option as there are tons of available jobs online as a digital nomad... and you can still be making money while not actually working in Brazil. if not, then i suggest getting the proper documentation AND moving to a bigger more vibrant city in Brazil

Well said. I guess i will have 2 jerseys in my bag and wear them according to who wins lol because if Nigeria should win against Brazil, i don’t think i will make out of the Stadium alive. The way football is important in Brazil

Yea you can also use their free health care and divert the money into other important areas too.. by hustling for the PR you will Definitely overstay the visa so who knows if they'll give you next time? One just has to prepare this is not just "BIRTHING" except it's just abt the baby

Thank you so much for this information, I really do appreciate.

Aside the police report that is meant to be translated what other documents is one expected to carry along to Brazil for PR application?

Are there states that expedite the process and have a relatively fast processing time for the PR?

They have the shortest flight time and their price makes sense.
