Nice Video. Just to let your viewers know Permanent Residency is a long, complicated process. Our lawyers have been working on it for 4 months and some say it can take 6 months to a year. All your documents need to be translated and apostled as well as for me a flight back to the USA (I live in Ceara) to get my FBI Background Check fingerprints. I am applying for a Permanent Residency Visa by Spouse. (We have been married for 23 years, but all our USA marriage certificates had to be translated etc.) Their is no "Easy Way" to get Permanent Residency and normally when you go to the Federal Police it is by appointment' only (wearing black slacks). Be Prepared, don't be disappointed thinking this is an easy process.😎 On the bright side, now that I am living here I have my own house w/pool which could easily be an Air BnB and the lady that does my wife's nails comes to my wife's house.
Thank you for sharing your journey here. Residencies truly can be a complicated topic. Im glad it is all working out well for you. We are still evaluating our options. We have heard there might be a change for Mercosur residence in the coming year. We have Paraguay residency and it might be made easier for us to get Brazilian residency as well. We will see. We are currently traveling to the most eastern point of Brazil and then South. Where are you located in Brasil?
Good question 😆 It seems like I won’t be able to ever have enough working years in one country to actually be able to collect a retirement pension. That’s fine with me, i Neve really plan on retiring anyways. But that visa seems to be excluded. But we are thinking hard about the business residency. For now we keep traveling to see all the countries in South America. But then, BRAZIL is our favorite so far.
thank you two for your good words. both of our origins are Austrian. I’m personally just from the English speaking part of Austria ;) where are you staying? in Brazil?
@@HaveYourADVENTURE Gruss Gott. We started building our beach house between Ilhéus and Itacaré and should be moved into it by the end of December at the latest. Weist du dass ich ein bischen Deutsch sprecken kann weil ich bin ein schueler gewesen in wunderschoennes Oesterreich (Bad Hofastein, Salzburg region, in Der nahe von Badgastein). That was from 1981 to 1984... back then my German was fluent but I can still manage today. We have a few videos already posted about our new house build. We plan to grow our own food and vegetables there, raise chicken and become a bit more eco minded.... If you're ever back in Bahia, do come to meet us (like we had previously discussed). Tschus !!!
@@pepielci super. Das freut uns. We will come back to Bahia in 2023. We would love to meet then. Alexandra just released a video on our time in Brasilia. She called it her Austrian Brazilian experience. You will enjoy it for sure. Austrian memories coming back. Go ahead and check it out on her channel Alexandra Allover.
@@pepielcihow are you guys? We are actually back in Bahia and soon on our way to Ilheus. Are you still around? We don’t have a way to contact you but let us know how we can organize a meet up.
Clueless, go through the official channels, just going and asking without out filling out the forms and printing off the required documents only an idiot would do
Last year I (US American) stayed 90 days in Brazil as a tourist, then before that 90 days expired I went to the Federal Police in the Florianopolis airport to request another 90 days as an extension. I was with my Brazilian boyfriend as my translator. The guy there asked me for no particular reason for my stay. I just had to go to a specific website while I stood there with him to pay a fee. Then he stamped my passport for another 90 days to stay longer. I am persuing a more permanent visa category to stay even longer in Brazil but that seems to be a much more beaurocratic nightmare!
Good job getting that extension. It is a lot easier for US citizens compared to EU citizens. For some reason they canceled that extension program for Europeans. We got an extension that one time, but just for exceptional reasons. What are your plans to make a longer stay in Brazil possible?
@@HaveYourADVENTURE I have scheduled a 45 minute zoom chat with you for Wednesday this week. I want to ask your opinions about my possible Brazilian residency.
@@NadirNewSettlers Currently at thios time, I am in the extended 90 days of the 180 allowed this year. I am pursuing long term permanent residency now based in anticipated marriage to my boyfriend. We will marry in August, and I hope to be able to get through the Brazilian bureaucracy after that before the 17 October stamped end of the 180 days.
Yea we are a big fan of the flag theory. There can never be too many flags. And residencies one can have many. For now we will travel South America and then choose a beautiful spot to buy some land.
Thank you. Im glad you enjoy it. I document all the countries i visit. Mexico, Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina and soon Bolivia and Peru. Going up all the way to Colombia. Feel free to subscribe. There will be new episodes every other week. Tomorrow well be one about the beautiful National Park in Bahia.

Love the new style! Requesting the extension was a whole new adventure! A permanent residency maybe as an option for later? 😊
Yes I can’t wait to be at that stage. Brazil is wonderful.
If I am going to buy a property in the northeast which cost only $US 5000. It will be hard to get residency.
Correct
Weird you go to the federal police for that.
Yes this is how that works in Brazil. Have you ever been?
Great vid and loved the new styled you did for it too you broke everything down well
Thank you so much. Brazil is an amazing place. I’m sure you would like it.
There is a very cool swedish guy with a youtube channel that just got a digital nomad visa here in Brazil!
Oh wow. Would be interesting having his contact. What’s his channel?
@@HaveYourADVENTURE Swedish Gringo
Thank you. I will check out his content.

Thank you so much for your good words. We hope to be back in Rio soon.
So which residency program did you do? Retirement?

Are you also interested in relocating to Brazil Brendan?
Very nice video. Maybe we will all get to meet up some day. Are you German or Austrian by any chance? - PEPI

it truly needs lots of TLC 😆
Brazil is awesome!
True that! 🙌🏼

I am not sure I understand what you are saying. Is this a question or do you want to suggest something?

Do you know anyone that can give me, a christian senior woman, a boat ride to South America?
i suggest going to church and going to the communities. i am sure you will connect with others.
