Brazil: Brazilian citizenship:
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
