brazil passport is 18th strongest passport with 173 visa countries while, Mexico passport is 23rd strongest and 162 visa countries, parents of the Brazilian child can apply for citizenship after one of been a permanent resident which you automatically get 10years PR by giving birth and also the grandparents get PR too ,not forgetting to include that if you already had a child prior to giving birth in brazil ,the child gets citizenship too as long as the child is below 10 years of age and can apply immediately after getting the PR , and does not have to wait for a year like the parents

Also just like Mexican citizens ,Brazilian citizens only need to live in Spain for 2 years to get Spanish citizenship and Spain is the strongest passport in the world now, Spain has the agreement with some selected countries ad brazil is among

And by ,MERCOSUR agreement Brazilians can travel Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay and get their residence without any prior arrangement ,live there for some couple of years and get their citizenship too


Brazilians now have automatic residence authorization in Portugal it was signed into force On March 1, 2023

Better to go to Mexico. The Brazilian passport is stronger but the Mexican passport offers more opportunities. For instance, Mexicans are liable for the TN visa. The same visa that Canadians use to work in the US. As a mexican citizen, you only need to live in Spain for 2 years to get Spanish citizenship and Spain is the strongest passport in the world now. The passport of mexico can be gotten 2 years after you birth your child there.

But definitely try the US and Canada first but if they can't work then Mexico it is. It's the only passport that gives you access to both of those countries. With Brazil passport you will still need visa and Brazil doesn't really have any friendly agreements with the US or Canada at the moment

Leave am oh, U still need it ohh, if not you will apply for Visa to come 9ja, mine is expiring soon so i got to start application,
Now plz remind me, what's the name of the shopping centre full of Nigerians? that one that is like 5 storey tall, full of saloon boutiques, restaurant owned by Nigerians please.

erico2k2:
That is true, I met a lady in Brazil who just got her right to stay in the country and it took her 11 years and for all them times she has not been to Nigeria. She got it when she gave Birth. Now she is trying for the passport. She also told me about the difficulty she faces getting her Son to go to school, this was in Sao Palo.

erico2k2:
SO when did you enter Brazil and how long did it take to naturalize? I thought you were giving 10 years Visa 1st then after that you apply for Naturalization, at least this was what I was told when I was at a drink up in that popular shopping centre full of Nigerians, I can't remember the name.

I said maybe, just because that is the only country in sub-Saharan Africa that is better off than Nigeria. I don't consider North African countries to be "African". They don't see us as Africans, and I respect that. I am not related in any way to an Egyptian or Moroccan. Here in Japan, if I am walking and I see a black person, whether from Brazil or Guyana, we can easily relate. A Tunisian will not greet me or give me the black nod. So, why should they be seen as Africans? Asians consider every black person to be an African until the passport is shown. They see Moroccans and others as Arabs, and rightfully so.

I am not saying you are ignorant. I am saying Brazil is better off than almost every black African country except maybe South Africa strictly on the availability of jobs, economic opportunities and strength of the passport. The passport gives stability and options, especially as one gets older.



My problem is the lies. These people lie too much and brazenly at that on a public forum. I don't like dishonest people. Philippines is not worth it. It is ignorance that makes Nigerians see every white person as oyibo. It is better to spend money migrating to Brazil than most Asian countries except South Korea and Japan. China is for those with well-established business interests. India is a no no for young Africans looking for jobs. Singapore is too elite. Most importantly, it is pointless moving to a place where people spend their youth for a pittance and no assurance of getting a stronger passport. Singapore offers high salaries but no assurance of getting the passport. So better Brazil for someone who is not a top candidate. Better Peru than the UAE for a semi-skilled or unskilled person. Better Argentina than most countries in black Africa. People have to be strategic and pragmatic rather than dogmatic.

Western countries including Australia and New Zealand are great, but the routes are either too expensive, stringent and/or getting more complicated. In 2018, getting a visa to Poland was very fast. Today, it is almost impossible. In 2015, people entered Germany for studies immediately they could secure block accounts and admission. Today, they have to wait for more than a year before being called upon for an interview - not a guarantee the visa would be issued. That same period would have been used to learn Portuguese or Spanish and move to South America.

I do agree that for most black Africans having relocated at an adult age, home is fresh in their minds. But we are talking of economics here. If the economies in black Africa were pretty OK and jobs were available, people would not relocate. Chileans have an open door to the US labour market, yet they are not interested because Chile is OK. No African country enjoys that. Getting a date for a non-immigrant visa at the US embassy in Lagos takes almost a year.

Regards

Chiqueen90:
@ijeamaka1 thank you very much for your commitment on nairaland, I appreciate the way you take out your time to reply people.
My own question is …… how long did it take you to apply your first son you gave birth in Nigeria, naturalization in Brazil?
Did you get him PR first or you applied straight up?
How long did it take you to get his passport?

excanny:
Also inform them that Brazil is a very dangerous country filled with drug-cartel inspired violent crimes and daily deaths on the streets.

Tope2580:
Boss, I hail oo

I think by road ONLY, I'm not sure. I have a friend that travelled by road from Sao Paulo to Argentina with his PR.

Best regards sir.

Tope2580:
Plastic, normal ID card. You can't travel to Europe with it without VISA but it will help during your visa application. You can only visit Mercosur countries with Brazil PR without VISA.

BItt:
Why would anyone wanna give birth in Brazil tho

TechSpot:
If i have to turn on the heater after September na to pack dey go back Naija.

TechSpot:

Niveakreamy89:
Will it be like that till August? That’s when I am coming in.

HOKIM:
Call them... they have been having a huge backlog of passport to attend to.... so call and explain that you are yet to collect your passport... usually it takes 1week to 2months to get your passport, but due to the high rate of covid cases, they slowed down and only attended to urgent cases and emergency case... Brazil is my favorite country in all the world over.... I'm a Sao Paulo man.... from paulista to Corinthians to braz to republica.... omo na my zone be that... Vivo Brasil.. Deus abençoe o Brasil
