Brazil: Brazilian Permanent Visa Approval:

It´s not too difficult. First apply at your local Brazilian Consulate. You may have to spend a couple of days there or come back again later depending upon how busy they are. Know beforehand under what justification your permanent status might be granted. Get all your documents in order including letters from your local police affirming that you´re not a criminal before you travel to the Consulate. Then be prepared to wait a few months. They´ll let you know when you´re approved. Then get on down there within 90 days and check in immediatley with the Polícia Federal and get your CPF at the local office of the Receita Federal. The PF will give you a flimsy "protócolo" piece of paper showing that you are now legally entered. Ask for two "dupla via" and hide one in a safe place. Keep the other one with you. In about a year you´ll recieve your RNE (Registro Nacional de Extrangeiros) ID card good for 10 years if you´re a good little boy or girl for that time, then you´ll have to renew it for the last time. If you´re sweet for the first ten years, they´ll give you a renewal without expiration date. Meanwhile, before you even start, get busy learning Portuguese. It´s not difficult and is a beautiful language. You´ll need it to pass the test for your local driver´s license, open bank accounts, buy/sell property, open a business, etc. Don´t rely on your native country driver´s license, which the federal gov. may recognize one day, but not the next. Happened to me. Far easier to learn the language and get a local driver´s license. Good luck!

Brazil: Does marrying a Brazilian give me Brazilian citizenship?:

No. I don´t know if you can see my older post, but I explained the process there. Contact the Brazilian Consulate with representation in your area.
