" Diana, First .. if your husbands company is transfering him to Brazil ... it is their reponsibility to apply for and obtain his work permit. They are totally responsible for him, and you and any other member of your family that goes down. The company has to show financial responsibilty to do this. Under terms of a normal work permit .. he can only work for that company; you and family would be allowed to accompany him ... but you would not be allowed to seek employment unless you found another employer willing to sign for you. If you need more exact information ... or more details .. feel free to contact me ... I have actually all of the details .. but is too complicated to post on the digest. Capt. Donald R. Reid - Expat - Volunteer - Brazil "

" Dear Ms. Dixon, A year ago, getting a work visa for Brazil was quite difficult. The problems began in October 1998. The issue had become a political issue, with some left wing politicians (Brizola, et al) making noise about foreigner taking jobs from Brazians. Subsequently, the labor ministry got into the act of visa issues. The long and short of it was it was a mess, and a big problem for the Brazilian consulates, as well as those trying to get such visas. I do not know if things have changed. I would suggest that you find a visa specialist who deals with this all the time, to get an update. The one I used in Houston who filled that bill very well for me is "" Passport and Visa Specialists"", Mr. Jason Stgevens, owner. Ph. (713) 629-8330, email: jbsteven@aol.com. http://travel.to/passportweb. 4740 Ingersoll, Suite 207, Houston, TX 77027. There is an outfit I tried to get some relief through who seemed to know what was going on. (The State Dept. did not.) It is The Brazil US Business Council. I don''t remember where they are, but their phone nomber at the time was (202) 463-5485. FAX (202) 463-3126. I sp[oke with someone named Mike McBrierty. Their web page is www.brazilcouncil.org. HOpe this helps you out. Do not be frignthtened by what I''ve told you above. During all the difficult period, there were people succeeding in getting work visas. The important thing was to go about it correctly. That is why I suggest you speak with a specialist, (one dealing with a Brazilian Consulate all the time), to be certain you go about it the right way to get what you need. Good Luck, Barney Blackburn "

" Dear Diana, good morning ! if you are still interested in getting the visa, I suggest the company there to hire a company in Brazil to help it. If you want to, I can indicate some office dedicated to this task. Being the commercial manager for a leading brasilian moving company, Granero Transportes,I would like to offer you any help. By the way, if you need more information about the removal, we can also give you the contact for our partners in the USA. We would be delighted to help you ! Best regards, Paulo Robertp "

I would welcome any current and accurate information you have on obtaining a long-term residency permit for Brasil
(possibly by setting up a business) and the naturalization process for US citizens.
Thanks,
Sol

Soloman,
Your request is a bit complicated, as are the rules. As explained above, a work permit is something that must be applied for by a company already registered in the country, with proven financial responsibility, and they must prove to the department of labor that your 'job' does not replace or displace a similarly qualified national.
On your own ... to obtain 'residency' ... you have three main options; marry a national .... invest in Brazil (required a minimum of US$ 200,000 brought in legally through a Brazilian bank and registered) ... or 'retire to Brazil' (which requires that you prove to the authorities that you have a minimum of US$ 2,000 per month that will be also sent in to a Brazilian bank).
In all cases, you must prove (with paperwork) that you have no problems with the police in your present community, have no communicable disease, etc.
Naturalization is much more complicated .... but basically requires that you are a legal resident for a period of time and why you would want to naturalize Brazilian. There is the possibility of being a 'dual-national' ... with approval of the USA State Dept. if you are an American citizen.
I have been a 'resident' for 22 years, am married to a Brazilian national (naturalized American ... dual national) .... and our children are 'dual-nationals'.
