Leaving Brasil - how to get hold of FGTS?
Post New Topic

Hi. Ive been working in Brasil for a couple of years now, and my company will be moving me on to pastures new shortly. Since I will be forced to resign, I wont be able to get hold of the FGTS... I hear I cant get hold of it for 3yrs?
Are there any ways around this? As I have heard that once I leave - and my visa expires, then I dont really have a formal leg to stand on, and all that lovely cash will go to waste... I would rather have some of it than the government! :-)
Any advice anyone?
Thanks.

You can try to make a deal with your employer - ask to be fired and promise to reimburse back to them the additional costs. The additional costs, generally speaking, are a 40% fine they pay on your FGTS balance. Being fired will free up your FGTS for withdrawal. This type of arrangement is not unheard of in Brazil. You just will have to see how flexible your employer is.
