Brazil16, I have also responded to your other question about bank accounts. I switched my expired Permanent Residence Visa to a retirement Visa that is marked "Indeterminada." I applied for it in 2014 and it was ready within 35 days. I picked it up when I moved here in July 2015. Depending on the rep that interviews you at the Federal Police, he may or may not ask to see proof of retirement income or pension bank deposits. But, a friend of mine reports that he applied at Houston Consulate and they demanded proof of retirement from the SOC. This guy is only 54 years old and obviously the Social Security Office could not give verification that he was retired. He says that they denied his application because the SOC couldn't verify he had retired even though he had a letter from his company stating he was retired and collecting a pension. Now I don't know how much that is true. What I would suggest is that you do the research, gather all of the paperwork and proof of retirement and then come to Brazil. During you stay book an appointment on-line with the Federal Police and make your application. If you do not speak Portuguese make sure you have someone there that can translate for you.
