Gay marriage in Brazil-expat moving to Sorocaba

11 years ago

I'm a 30yo American woman moving to Brazil in December with my partner who is from Sorocaba. We've heard through family in Brazil how gay marriage has been legalized and that I can now get status if we marry in Brazil. Can anyone confirm this and describe the process? We have been so busy trying to coordinate the logistics of our move, which has been a headache as we have a household of 7 years together and two dogs and no company/job to help. We plan to marry in Brazil, but I will enter the country on a tourist visa. I know how awful bureaucracy can be in Brazil, so if anyone has any experience with the process of obtaining a marriage visa as a gay couple I would greatly appreciate your insight.
Best,
C
