Hello I am a licensed x-ray tech in the US and have an Associates in Applied Sciences that acquired here. I am greatly considering moving to Brazil to be with my girlfriend was wondering if anyone has any info on what organization I need to contact to get a license to work as a tech in Brazil. Also looking for information on if there are any additional requirements such as passing a registry or additional schooling that I will have to complete to work in Brazil.

Hello!

First of all, there are only a few situations that entitle you to get a permanent residency visa in Brazil. You will need this visa to be able to work, have a bank account, etc. You may get it in the following cases: by marrying a Brazilian national or being in a proven stable union with a Brazilian national (this is new and has been included in the new Brazilian civil code); if you are the parent of a child born in Brazil even if both parents are foreign; in the case of family reunion; via an investor's or a retirement visa; if you are hired by a company that is prepared to give you a work contract.

I would advise you to contact the Brazilian Consulate in your region regarding both the permanent residency visa and your career and degree. Working in Brazil on a foreign degree is not allowed unless you can have your diploma ratified by the relevant Brazilian authority.

The consulate will explain what you can and cannot do as well as what you should do. Please remember that you must make an appointment with the consulate before going there.

Good luck!

Bye for now,
