Brazil: Bank Account in Brazil:

I have tried to open a bank account in Sao Paulo at a number of banks using my tourist visa and my CPF and have been unable to do so. My understanding is that it doesn't matter which bank you go to; the Brazilian law was changed stating that those with a tourist visa are NOT allowed to open a bank account in Brazil. There is a special type of account called a CC5 for investors but you must have a temporary or permanent visa. In Brazil, you must prove your income to open a bank account. If you are on a tourist visa, you are unable to legally work and receive an income. I have not been able to work around this issue. Has anyone else been able to open an account with a tourist visa? Please share. Thanks!

Brazil: Working in Rio De Janeiro:

I would like to find out the best way to seek employment in Rio. Currently, I'm a Realtor in Hawaii, but have 15+ years of Sales and Marketing experience in Telecommunications and Tourism industries. I have travelled extensively throughout Brazil and have a decent knowledge of Portuguese. Any info. on obtaining a work VISA, finding companies to sponsor me or websites dedicated to finding work in Brazil would be helpful. Thanks!
