Nice apartment. Enjoyed your video. Would you tell me how you went about getting apartment in Rio de Janero? Is it possible to get apartment while still in America?

He thanks for the video! I have a question about the tourist visa you mentioned...If I have a passport already I still need a Visa for Brazil or I just make sure I don't stay more than 90 days at a time twice a year???....also you are able to rent a normal apartment like in the video as a tourist or is this more like Air bnb?
Hey Brian! If you're an American just show up with your passport (not expired) and you're good to go. They will give you 90 days. It you're there close to 90 days and want to stay longer you can extend your stay for 90 more days with some paperwork, the process is in my visa video. And as for apartments, I recommend going the Airbnb route. If you plan on staying for years then there are other options but come with a lot of paperwork and fine print etc
How can you get an apartment? I’m moving out there for a year so I’ll want a place for that amount of time. How can I find someone or a website that has places showing their offers? How were you able to find yours? Just in person in the street with a sign? Let me know please, thanks
Start on Airbnb then make a cash offer. Option 2 would be go to a building in person and ask the security guard who is renting. Furnished rentals are VERY hard to find outside of Airbnb.
@@TheTravelMoneyGuy so if the AirBnb was advertising for £1000 a month, I could message and offer say around £850 cash a month? The trouble with Airbnb is that almost every one is booked up and not available for a long period, also have gust policies etc. they also tend to be more on the pricey side, especially during Carnaval time. I think surely my best bet would be try to find a stable rental? It's a tough one. How much can you often knock them down by on average when offering cash on Airbnb?
You almost HAVE to start with staying in Airbnb, then walk around and find something, or work something out with the landlord. The online options are full of scams and many don't come furnished anyways. You have to start with hostel hotel airbnb then work something out in person somewhere.
You could just stay at a hostel for like 5-11$ per day if that. American hostels run 18-38 per night for dorms, figure like 5-10$ everywhere else in the world and maybe lower.

Wow. I clicked on the video thinking $1,000 would be your total cost of living per month. Because that’s why I am moving this year to Brazil from Missouri USA. My previous online research and my Brazilian friends assure me that I can live comfortably on $1,000 a month. You have a great apartment and good amenities but it sounds expensive. That’s what I pay currently for a 3 bedroom house here in Kansas City Missouri USA. I suppose it’s because you are in Rio on the beach. But I’m moving to Brazil this year as a newly retired government employee. I’m hoping on Santa Catarina beaches to keep it under $1,200 a month in total. My Brazilian boyfriend tells me I can! Thanks for the information. Love your apartment and your neighborhood!
What kind of neighborhood do you want? Leblon is the safest and richest neighborhood. I also did a video reviewing 8 neighborhoods of Rio. Here is the link ruclips.net/video/pGqKy5n5_dE/видео.html
@@TheTravelMoneyGuy so u are not there anymore? i had watched a million videos about rio and somehow leblon stucked in my mind as the best part...(nightlife aswell)...i should had fly to rio few months ago, but yeah...covid happened...
I'm still in Rio yes! Leblon has good nightlife yes but it can be kind of chic/posh, there are definitely more relaxed places for nightlife, but just depends on what someone wants. @Allen #7
Nice dude. All I can say is mine was fully furnished and booked easily with just a few clicks. Not sure if yours came furnished or if you had to do any crazy paperwork or contracts. How did you find yours?
@@TheTravelMoneyGuy dealt with owners of properties, never an agency or 3rd party. I struck up conversations with everyone I met. I was very motivated.
He has a son and knows that Christmas is over but he just wants to make some money and is open to any work! I like that he wanted to take a pic at the end, great attitude on his part.
just another unemployed being creative on asking for money. I call it the sad brazilian walk. you will never pass one day in life without seeing kids asking for money... after a few years, your heart gets hard. you learn to ignore. you become a monster. brazil is the most unequal country in the world, its in the worst sanitary crisis in its history, things were never so bad, and please, youtuber, do a favor for the people around you, in the building you're renting, WEAR YOUR MASK! 4000 people died yesterday of COVID in Brazil!
I've heard good things about smart fit but I don't want to have to go through the hassel of finding a Brazilian straw man. 115 dollars a month for unlimited personal training really isn't that unreasonable from an American perspective. I will definitely check out body tech.

It really reminds me of the Gold Coast of Chicago, IL 🇺🇸 It's also interesting that wine prices are fairly consistent across the world. Great video!
and on top of that you prob could get it cheaper if you lived in ipanema or copa....so to be honest you can pay 800.00 rent in an amazing area
I think Ipanema is the best bang for your buck! It is safe, not touristy, and reasonably priced.

Exactly! Sounds good, let me know!
So proud of you Kyle!! Keep up the hard work, you are doing such a great job brother!!
Bro! Great to hear from you! Thanks man and let's catch up soon!
I've really been thinking about going to stay in rio for a couple of months! The city,The mountains the people it all looks amazing!
Awesome! It is definitely a cheat code city haha
Awesome info, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Jorge!
Nice apartment. Enjoyed your video. Would you tell me how you went about getting apartment in Rio de Janero? Is it possible to get apartment while still in America?
Airbnb and then switch to cash payments. In 2022 now it is much harder because a lot more demand and low supply of good apartments
Great job man! Rio is so amazing!
Thank you! Check out their channel too for more cost of living info in Brazil ^
Love the fact that you are being real and honest about it for ordinary people who want to visit! Thank you for the info!

Looks amazing, that walk to the BEACH, Kyle 🌊🤩! Extra big thx for wine, beer reviews & $costs up front (muy importante, lol!). And Santa...aaaww!🎅❤

Wow, $1000! I pay $170 in Barrio de Fátima, it's a 3 bed apartment, but it has a very similar set up to you. Nice video, keep em coming.
Thanks for sharing! Anyone else living here feel free to share details on your cost of living.
Any advice on how to find apartments?
@@Frankly_Speaking_English air bnb look for copacabana, botafogo, ipanema... those are good neighborhoods
Great video brother. How long have you been in Rio? Chego ai em duas semanas!
Thank you sir! I was there most of 2021 but I am now in Colombia to finish out the year. Let me know if you need anything!
I still have a hard time believing that 6-pack of Heineken is about $1. It's cheaper than the mangos. lol
Yeah you're right! They apparently list them by bottle here so it was about 6 bucks for the 6 pack. I commented on here that I messed that up.

You could just stay at a hostel for like 5-11$ per day if that.
American hostels run 18-38 per night for dorms, figure like 5-10$ everywhere else in the world and maybe lower.
I love hostels and the people you meet there. But they are not ideal if you have to edit videos and upload a 4k video on their wifi.
Love the curtain background
😂 it moves too did you notice
Made it to Rio getting through Airport and customs was fast and easy..
Did you feel like they hardly check anything? Did they ask for negative covid test paperwork when you arrived?

santa catarina is a "roots" version of Rio... how is it going down there?
@@rublaj I’m not yet living there inSC. But I did visit there in May. I’m planning to move there in January
I just showed the main expenses to give people an idea
Leblon is the most expensive city to live in RJ, perhaps the most expensive in the country.
Agreed
Leblon is a district (bairro), not a city...
leblon is not a city, its a beach and (rich) neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro.
Most expensive in south america
where is the best place to stay here if visiting ? This is exremely cheap
