Brazil: Bank Account in Brazil:

You must have a CPF number first or there will be no bank account. The only bank authorized by the government to provide accounts, including checking, savings, and credit card (which I have obtained) on a tourist visa is Banco do Brasil. I utilized the services of a certified sworn translator from the Sao Paulo US Consulate referral list. First, sworn copies of your passport and birth certificate must be registered at the Policia Federal. The copies are taken to the Receta Federal and a CPF is obtained. There is a two day waiting period. When you return you will receive your CPF national id number for no charge. Take this to Banco do Brasil and go to new accounts to apply for your account. You will need a Brasilian address to receive your ATM card, checks, etc. Your ATM must be activated from the phone number you use on your account application. Your CPF will also come to this address. If you are not completely fluent in Portuguese, hire the translator for their daily rate (mine was $200) to guarantee all transactions are understood and completed correctly. My translator included transportation/the total charge was $500 for several documents and two and a half days of assistance.
