Bless your soul madam.

I discovered the thread a few days ago, and i have read from the first page till here. Thanks for been so ready to help and always informative. I would have loved to take this route, but unfortunately wifey is already 38 weeks. I however, have started plans towards next year for another baby, in brazil, so that this baby, the next one and the whole family can benefit for the passport.

Now to my question.
1. Do you think it is a good idea to make Brazil a permanent home, cos i don't intend coming back though. I understand that i need to learn the language, and it wont be a problem.
I am an architect and a freelance career coach.
2. Do you think a $10k USD is sufficient for the whole process?

I look forward to your response.

If you wait and apply for the visa after your pregnancy is showing and then appear at the Consulate, then it is obvious that you are not going for tourism at that stage and your visa will be denied not because you are pregnant but because your real purpose of the visit could not be established by the VO.

If you are pregnant and not yet showing then you are good to go because pregnant women in their early stages are allowed to travel safely for tourism or whatever reason.

This is the difference. Some people apply for Brazilian visas late in pregnancy maybe because they did not know about this opportunity and some because Brazil is their last choice. I would say, if you want to give birth in Brazil, let it be your first choice. Brazil is the only country in the world that will make the entire family benefit from a child being born there. Why don’t you secure your entire family’s future first and then think of giving birth in the USA or Canada with your next child? After all, the Brazilian passport is as powerful as the American one.

You give birth in the US and then later denied tourist visa meaning you cannot even visit the country with your own American baby. That passport will be useless until your child turns 18 and can settle in the US alone.

I’m not saying don’t give birth in the US, all I’m saying is that set your priorities right. First things first. Now that my entire family is getting a Brazilian passport, my next child can safely be born in the US. With my Brazilian passport, i have a 95% of securing a US visa. Even if I’m refused, my child will still be Brazilian. Don’t follow the crowd.

I can even give birth in Chile without a visa on my current Brazilian PR or Passport and my baby becomes Chilean. A Chilean passport takes you to US, Canada and Australia visa free.

Your choices becomes endless with giving birth in Brazil. Be smart.

Cheers
