Brazilian citizenship

Post New Topic

Hi
I am a UK citizen married to a Brazilian .We currently live in London.
I understand that I can apply for a permanent residence visa and that if I lived in Brazil for 1 year could then apply for joint Brazilian citizenship.
I also understand that the application process can be complicated and that some "fixers" are unreliable .
Can any UK citizen who has been through the process give me any advice ? does my wife have to remain in Brazil for this entire year with me or can she travel abroad without me ?
I am learning Portuguese but wonder who good my abilities need to be meet requirements ?
does anyone know any reliable London based advisors ?
What i hope to be able to do was apply for a permanent visa in London , move to Brazil and apply for citizenship at the earliest opportunity . We want to travel elsewhere after i have met the citizenship requirement and do not want to be required to stay put in Brazil for much longer than one year. i read elsewhere that although the requirement is 1 year for spouses of Brazilians this can actually be much longer without clear guidance . I already have experience of the complexities of Brazilian bureaucracy !
many thanks
Mike

Hello!

You must make an appointment with the Brazilian Consulate in your region. They will give you safe information. That is what they are paid for. Please start at the Consulate and when you have the basics, then try and find more specific info in this forum.

Good luck,

I don't know how it is in the UK, but last I heard for those from USA must pay an exit tax of about $30,00.00 to give up your citizenship.
