Summary: Many expats and digital nomads move to Brazil for its vibrant culture, stunning beaches, and diverse landscapes. The most popular cities for expats and digital nomads in Brazil are Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, and Florianopolis. People looking for a place to live in Brazil can search online for rental listings, contact real estate agents, or look for postings on expat forums. Additionally, many expats and digital nomads find housing through word of mouth or by networking with other expats in the area.

What do I need to know before moving to Brazil?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Brazil, they said:

"I am sorry to say that after 14 years in Brazil my advise would be don't move, please reconsider. As my dentist (Brazilian) recently said, "Sao Paulo is a cruel city". I hear his comments with a heavy heart. I have grown to love Brazil but the prices, lack of infrastructure, noise, traffic and now protests and violence have taken their toll," said one expat in Sao Paulo.
