I am grandson of two Japanese people and when I decided to get my permanent residency visa in Japan (which they grant every son or grandson of Japanese naturals born abroad) the bureaucracy was also through the roof I almost gave up. Literally had to wait over 4 months (could be up to 6 months) to get it approved after I had all documents ready and delivered. I think getting permanent residency in any country is hard and probably by design.
Congrats on the residency. Yeah it is quite possible they make it so difficult for the reason of not wanting to have to give the residency or it is complicated and difficult so that the person isn't doing any fraud and they want to be sure.
Thanks for the video. Very detailed. Yeah Brazilian Bureaucracy is pretty out there. I was in Sao Paulo recently. and got a taste of it. Register here for that register here for this, cpf this, cpf that. After 3 days I got on a return plane lol. But added to that I felt Sao Paulo was too cold for me... But coming back again in a few months. I saw a few opportunities while there for 3 days. Should be warmer then and I have a better idea of what to expect
Yeah the bureaucracy is bureauCRAZY here in Brazil unfortunately. As for Sao Paulo, I did not find it to be a place I would want to live in. Sure spending a few days is cool as it has many things to check out and do. I also do not find the weather all that agreeable, much too cool for most of the year. Thanks for the support.👍
@@nickmusttravel bureauCRAZY you said it well. Didn't know it was a word but it is fitting. For Sao Paulo yeah that is what I found out. I lived in Mexico City, New York and Montreal to name a few. They are all big cities and have a nice atmosphere... So I thought Sao Paulo would be the same. MISTAKE. after I left a few friends recommended more Rio and Floripa. So that is what I am gonna do next time. Skip Sao Paulo.
@@KrishnaDiamesso Nice places, New York city was fun but not a place I'd want to live either. I highly enjoyed Montreal but winters are too brutal for me. I don't want to waste anymore of my life staying indoors because of cold and terrible weather.
@@nickmusttravel Totally agree with you. Cold weather in Canada is brutal. By end of August I would get depressed because I am like... "Here we go again... 10 months of cold weather". You dfntly get to do more when it is warm outside. But question for you, doesn't it get a bit cold in Rio as well between June-August?
@@KrishnaDiamesso It gets at the lowest 17-22 degrees celcius but for me it is still better than fall weather in Toronto. I never truly feel "cold" It is generally always possible to go outside and do what you gotta do. It does rain a lot during the months of October and November.
Hii great vid! Did you have to show your original documents (birth certificate, background check, apostilles) in English or did they solely ask for the translations? Also, did you have to translate the apostilles for your documents? I don't have my original apostille for my FBI background check, as it arrived in my home country but I'm already in Brazil. Not sure if it's worth it to have it mailed to me here if I potentially won't need it. Thanks for helping navigate through this!
Basically everything has to be translated to Portuguese except the passport. I don't know much about apostilled because Canada does not do it the same way as the States. I would just check with the federal police and if you can't speak Portuguese, maybe hire someone to help you (despachante) they will speak English. Glad the video was a help to you.
Nick, I am in the process of applying for Permanent Residency by Spouse. I am in Brazil with my Brazilian wife and my Brazilian Stepmother. It has been a little over a month since we hired the lawyers and i notice they have not mentioned work on the Birth Certificate or the Health Insurance. MY major question is that i understand once we have the meeting with the Federal Police, they will issue me a temporary CRMN ?. I don't mind the 6 months I just need to fly back to the USA to get all my items out of storage. I almost could not due it when I flew to Miami for my FBI fingerprints. Had massive trouble getting back into Brazil at customs. I was told that with the temporary CRMN I would have no problem going to the USA and getting back to Brazil if I got that at the Federal Police appointment.
Basically once you start the process of the residency, you cannot leave until it is complete otherwise you will have to start it all over again. Plus if you leave while it is in process and you overstayed your "visa" you will have to pay a fine for the days you overstayed. They likely will not give you a temporary CRMN as I was not offered one nor did I ever hear anything about it. I did not need fingerprints done but rather I got a police background/record check from my local police. The federal police do the fingerprints once you go to your appointment and have all the necessary documents in hand without error. Hope this helps and good luck!
Nick , this is an interesting video. I'm a Belgian resident. Luckily my future wife is Brazilian. So it makes filling out the documents easier. There is another option to stay longer in Brazil. As a retiree with a pension higher than the necesseray amount, an extended stay can be requested. TIP: From the beginning of 2025 there will be a new regulation, called ETIAS, for people who do not need a Visa at this time. I think these regulations are for those who want to enter the Schengen area in Europe. Retired A retired foreigner is entitled to a residence permit if he/she can prove a monthly pension of at least R$6,000. Up to 2 dependents can also obtain a permit, but that dependency must be proven. For each additional dependent, the applicant must be able to demonstrate an additional R$2,000. Conditions: proof from the pension payment institution and proof from the bank confirming the monthly transfer.
@@petermarien6128 Glad you found the video useful and interesting. All the best on your path to living in Brazil. Interesting about the retirement residency in Brazil too.
O Brasil dá residência conforme acordo bilaterais. Por exemplo: países do Mercosul e da América do Sul, basta apresentar a identidade, nem precisa de passaporte e já conseguem a residência. O mesmo vale para portugueses e italianos (mas aí precisa do passaporte), vale lembrar que a Constituição Federal do Brasil garante reciprocidade para os portugueses. Agora para quem mora no Canadá, Estados Unidos, Reino Unido, etc, sim é mais difícil, chama-se, no direito internacional, o Princípio da Reciprocidade. Toda a burocracia que um brasileiro passa ao solicitar residência permanente nos Estados Unidos, no Canadá, no Reino Unido, os cidadãos desses países também irão passar pelo mesmo processo burocrático que os brasileiros passam nestes países. :)
@@nickmusttravel só complementando que cidadãos da Alemanha, Holanda, Japão e Suíça também são amparados para solicitar a residência permanente no Brasil sem burocracia nenhuma. Isso se deve porque o Brasil recebeu uma grande quantidade de imigrantes destes países no início do século passado, principalmente para trabalhar no cultivo do café. Até cidades eles fundaram. Há cidades no sul do Brasil que além do português, o Alemão é considerado língua oficial. Em termos de língua estrangeira, há mais falantes de italiano, japonês, alemão e neerlandês (língua da Holanda) no Brasil do que falantes de inglês e espanhol.. Os Portugueses possuem certos privilégios no Brasil, equiparados a certos privilégios dos países da América do Sul. Inclusive os Portugueses possuem até direitos que são garantidos somente a eles pela Constituição do Brasil de 1988
@@ojorgeassis Eu concordo em quase tudo, só não concordo em relação aos alemães, holandeses e japoneses pois mesmo que o Brasil tenha recebido imigrantes daqueles países, se um brasileiro quiser imigrar para os mesmos irá passar por uma certa burocracia. Então na minha opinião acho que não deveria facilitar para aqueles pessoas daqueles países.
Hi, very informative video. Thank you. Have you got police clearance from Toronto certified/apostled from Brazilian consulate in Toronto? Or just submitted as is? Just trying to understand if it needs to be apostled. Thanks
I got it from Canada but I don't remember which department. I think any can do the background check as long as it's in Canada. It had to be certified and I believe apostle plus translated. It was a VERY difficult process to be sure.
Nick, you have to make use of the Latino culture and lifestyle. I have both Portuguese & Canadian dual citizenship from Vancouver. It is interesting that the Brazilian Constitution allows us to claim Brazilian citizenship after one year residency in the country. is the country safe to stay and good for mid life retirement ?
I have the same as well but I did not know about Brazil allowing for citizenship after one year or residency here in Brazil. Brazil is moderately safe but it still has its dangers like any other 2nd world country. Using common sense and good judgement will go a long way in keeping safe in Brazil. I would say it is good for mid life retirement provided you have an income of money (preferably Canadian or US dollars) in order to live comfortably.
Oh you are from Toronto. Toronto has the second largest Portuguese population on earth besides Paris. If you know the tricks beforehand, you can save a hell lot of time on the red tape. The law is known as Article 12 of the Constitution 1988, legislation 82/1971 and Decreto 70436 de 18 Abril 1972. If you are a Portuguese citizen, you can treat yourself as resident and stay in Brazil forever, but still have to register yourself at local Federal Police. It is similar to NZers stay in Australia, and vice versa.
In Brazil crime happens because they need to have money from stealing your wallet, car etc. In the United States crime happens (mass killings at grocery stores, hospitals, churches, nightclubs] road rage, school shootings etc. either because of revenge or they are declared mentally ill. Take your pick, but don`t overestimate the crime in Brazil and underestimate the crime in the United States. Its very, very, very dangerous in the USA.
Hi there, its been an annoying process for me so far. I still have a question. Did you get your police clearance apostille? Or you got it and translated here? Mine, i got via email from the police.
I know how it goes but hang in there, you'll get it done and be relieved. I had my documents all translated by an authentic translator in Rio de Janeiro. Normally you do not need to authenticate it because it is coming from a government entity in the first place. Good luck! 👍
I had to hire a lawyer to help to fill and get all the papers for my immigration docs to Canada. It is also very complicated and stressful. I am from Brazil 👍
Hello Nick, thank you so much for your video. I am preparing the documents for my husband's Brazilian naturalization. Have you done anything for that already? I see that after he receives the naturalization, there is the part he is obliged to present himself to the Army. Do you know anything about that?
I never heard of that at all. I don't see why he would have to present himself to the army. I never had to see the army. If he is getting citizenship then that might be a whole different thing. Sorry that I could answer your question. Good luck with everything.
@@nickmusttravel thank you so much for replying to my message. I will keep you posted and once I find out about the army thing once my husband becomes a Brazilian citizen.
@@Fit_soldier I doubt there is a way to speed it up because even in Canada it is difficult to get a wife the citizenship. Just takes time. I could be wrong about it so maybe just research and see if anyone talks about it on YT. Good luck my friend.
Hi Nick any advice in how to obtain a new jersey background check living abroad I'm married to a Brazilian for 7 years I just recently moved to Brazil and I'm in the process of doing my residency here but was told at the police station I need federal and state criminal back ground check I know the website for the federal one have the form and fingerprint card but having problem with finding a state form fingerprint card I appreciate any help ty
I think you need to get it from the FBI or from the local police where you are from. I can't say for US but I got one from the police station of my city and had tog et it notarized. The process can really be frustrating but good luck.
That is odd I thought an interview was a given,anyway I live the US and have been married for 30yrs with a brazilian and I was thinking of getting a green card there now that I'm close to retirement any advive??
@@paulfonseca1389 My advice is if you want to live in Brazil permanently then yes I would suggest applying for residency through marriage and since you are already married to her in the US, it may be a bit easier, you'll just need all your documents translated etc. If you don't plan on living in Brazil and want to do a 6 months there and 6 months in the US. then really there is no point in getting the residency.
My Brasilian friend knew an agent with the Federal Police and HE took my information directly to Brasilia, it got processed and one happy day my RNE arrived I am sure that expedited it a lot faster The Federal Police are the MOST helpful and decent people, they will do anything to help you TODAY I believe there are more ways to get a PR Income from online job investment start a new business marry a Brasilian have a relationship with 'someone' who is a Brasilian- doesn't have to be a marriage have a child here buy expensive real estate
I disagree. Most of the federal police are rude and are unwilling to help by clarifying the documents you need because everyday that I went, it was something else that I needed to get. And also, I got my PR but it has a date, so I don't know what you did differently than me. Either way, congrats👏😃
@@nickmusttravel Could be the location where you went. I did mine in a large city so they are more used to foreigners OH WAIT ! You're the jackass who strolled Porto Alegre late at night and would not listen to people that live there ! YOU don't need a PR, you'll be dead in short order for being stoopid in BR Could be the old saying - The price you pay depends on your attitude ? If someone comes in with ''an attitude'' , especially a foreigner, it's bound to go bad from the start HENCE YOUR PROBLEM !
@InBrz hey bro I want to get this card, would u like to explain more or can I contact u privately so u can tell me how to go about it if u don't mind. Thanks
IF YOU are IN Brasil, go to the nearest large airport and look for the FEDERAL POLICE office there, they will tell you your options and how to do it. IF NOT, go to your nearest BR Embassy@@usernotfound162
Question though: so you said it took about 6 months to gather the documents. How long it took them to treat your application once all documents were in their possession?
Once you have everything ready, it is practically done on the spot. You have to stay there while they process everything and then they call you into their office to do finger printing etc. It took about a month or so to have the physical card ready for which I had to go back and simply pick it up at their office (no appointment necessary).
FBI background checks are a li’l expensive, and mine took over 4 months to receive. A couple international recruitment agencies wanted my completed profile to be 100% finished & ready to go inside just a couple of months. For many employers and recruiters a CHRC done through state police is sufficient, but sometimes-like in this residency process-it’s a nation-wide F.B.I. background check required. You / me / regular-Joe-American…we can’t make them work faster just because we encounter pressure to obtain it quick. I think I might’ve actually annoyed them by telephoning to check on the document’s status too often. It’s a conundrum.
@@noumananwarvlogs I already answered that question for you. You cannot get the PR on a student or tourist visa. You will need one or the other in order to complete the process but you can only become a PR here in Brazil through investment, marriage or family (having a child) Those are the basics.
I'm married to a brazilian here in the states for years she doesn't have her own place in brazil from living in states with me,would I get a green card thru marriage
When you say green card, do you mean Brazilian residency? I think she would have to be living in Brazil but maybe best to ask the Brazilian consulate closest to you.
You can get an investment visa, student visa which lasts one year and you can keep renewing, marry a Brazilian or have a child with a Brazilian in order to be able to stay.
@@zar1422 Theoretically yes. However, you will need to renew the permanent residency every 10 years or you could go for Brazilian citizenship at the expiration of the residency.
@@zar1422 you don’t need to marry a Brazilian woman. If you have you child in Brazil, your child will be Brazilian and you can apply to spouse or parents of Brazilian national. So for example your wife is Chinese, but you guys have a kid in Brazil, you guys will be able to live in Brazil. Many Russian women do ir
I want information from you about the Portuguese language test, I don't want to get a government job, I just want to pass the exam to get a Brazilian passport, which course should I take?
I think you are confusing things my friend. You cannot get a Brazilian passport without citizenship nor can you get it with residency. A Portugeuse language test will not get you into the country. You can however come a visit Brazil on a visa or with your passport of your native country. You can stay longer in the country as a student with a student visa. There are many options to be able to extend your stay in Brazil. Hope this helps. Good luck!
@@nickmusttravel My respected friend I am not confusing things, I am providing you the details, 1 I am going to marry my girlfriend in Pakistan in March, she will reach Pakistan on 25th February,
@@wassemchoudhury9453 I cannot say whether that will count or not. I am assuming that she is a Brazilian living with you in Pakistan? If so, then it might be possible but I can't tell you for certain whether that will work or not.

Good video how long did it take to get your interview after submitting all papers needed
Never had an interview. They just brought me in for fingerprints etc. It was about 3 months or so after getting all the documentation in order.
That is odd I thought an interview was a given,anyway I live the US and have been married for 30yrs with a brazilian and I was thinking of getting a green card there now that I'm close to retirement any advive??
@@paulfonseca1389 My advice is if you want to live in Brazil permanently then yes I would suggest applying for residency through marriage and since you are already married to her in the US, it may be a bit easier, you'll just need all your documents translated etc. If you don't plan on living in Brazil and want to do a 6 months there and 6 months in the US. then really there is no point in getting the residency.
@@nickmusttravel thanks I want to go and see if want to stay,I've been to Brazil before thanks again
@@paulfonseca1389 Yeah test it out and see if it is for you (to stay permanently) Your welcome!
I hired a lawyer. Cost me less than 800 plus you pay for costs (aporox 400)…and yes your docs need to be apostilled from the US.
Not bad at all. Congrats!
Can you provide the name and maybe the number to the lawyer you hired?
@@theonlyhub I did not hire a lawyer for this process. I did the whole thing on my own.
@@nickmusttravel sorry Nick I meant to reply to the other comment
@@theonlyhub No worries. I am sure Anton will help you out with that info.
I understand your frustration. I’m just now starting to process. I’m gonna start with the CPF Jesus Christ. She went through a lot, brother.
is stable union considered as a marriage or just a proof that a couple is living together?
I am not entirely sure but I do know it serves enough to be able to apply for Brazilian residency.
My Brasilian friend knew an agent with the Federal Police and HE took my information directly to Brasilia, it got processed and one happy day my RNE arrived
I am sure that expedited it a lot faster
The Federal Police are the MOST helpful and decent people, they will do anything to help you
TODAY I believe there are more ways to get a PR
Income from online job
investment
start a new business
marry a Brasilian
have a relationship with 'someone' who is a Brasilian- doesn't have to be a marriage
have a child here
buy expensive real estate
I disagree. Most of the federal police are rude and are unwilling to help by clarifying the documents you need because everyday that I went, it was something else that I needed to get. And also, I got my PR but it has a date, so I don't know what you did differently than me. Either way, congrats👏😃
@@nickmusttravel Could be the location where you went.
I did mine in a large city so they are more used to foreigners
OH WAIT ! You're the jackass who strolled Porto Alegre late at night and would not listen to people that live there !
YOU don't need a PR, you'll be dead in short order for being stoopid in BR
Could be the old saying - The price you pay depends on your attitude ? If someone comes in with ''an attitude'' , especially a foreigner, it's bound to go bad from the start HENCE YOUR PROBLEM !
@InBrz hey bro I want to get this card, would u like to explain more or can I contact u privately so u can tell me how to go about it if u don't mind. Thanks
IF your attitude SUCKS, your SERVICE will SUCK TOO !
The Federal Police get an A+ from me every time !
IF YOU are IN Brasil, go to the nearest large airport and look for the FEDERAL POLICE office there, they will tell you your options and how to do it.
IF NOT, go to your nearest BR Embassy@@usernotfound162
10 year renewal rule not hard and fast. Some validade say “indeterminado”
Good to know. Thank you.
MY RNE has NO expiration date
@@InMyBrz Really? I wonder why mine does 🤔
@@nickmusttravel Is probably an RNM for marriage. Since not all marriages survive 10 years
@@InMyBrz That could be it then.
brother please let me know on student visa how to get pr in brazil?
You cannot get the PR on a student visa in Brazil.
@@nickmusttravel oh so need to marry or living relationship and how much there living expenses monthly and jobs average?
Question though: so you said it took about 6 months to gather the documents. How long it took them to treat your application once all documents were in their possession?
Once you have everything ready, it is practically done on the spot. You have to stay there while they process everything and then they call you into their office to do finger printing etc. It took about a month or so to have the physical card ready for which I had to go back and simply pick it up at their office (no appointment necessary).
@@nickmusttravel ok I see perfect perfect perfect. At least this is a plus. Thanks again for doing the video greatly appreciated. 👍🙏🙂
@@KrishnaDiamesso No problem. It took me awhile to get this video done but finally did it lol
@@nickmusttravel 😊🙂🙏👍
Does the fbi background check have to be apostilled ?
I believe so yes. They want basically all documents done. The federal police are very meticulous as well as bureaucratic.
FBI background checks are a li’l expensive, and mine took over 4 months to receive. A couple international recruitment agencies wanted my completed profile to be 100% finished & ready to go inside just a couple of months. For many employers and recruiters a CHRC done through state police is sufficient, but sometimes-like in this residency process-it’s a nation-wide F.B.I. background check required. You / me / regular-Joe-American…we can’t make them work faster just because we encounter pressure to obtain it quick. I think I might’ve actually annoyed them by telephoning to check on the document’s status too often. It’s a conundrum.
finding a life partner is easy or difficult in brazil?
I don't know about life partner but dating and meeting a nice girl in Brazil is far easier than in most countries, especially USA and Canada.
@@nickmusttravel thansk alot just last Question how to get pr on tourist or student visa?
@@noumananwarvlogs I already answered that question for you. You cannot get the PR on a student or tourist visa. You will need one or the other in order to complete the process but you can only become a PR here in Brazil through investment, marriage or family (having a child) Those are the basics.
@@nickmusttravel thanks alot brother its my wish to come and live there🙏❤️
@@noumananwarvlogs My suggestion is to visit first a few times to see if you will like it as it is not a perfect place to live. Good luck!
I'm married to a brazilian here in the states for years she doesn't have her own place in brazil from living in states with me,would I get a green card thru marriage
When you say green card, do you mean Brazilian residency? I think she would have to be living in Brazil but maybe best to ask the Brazilian consulate closest to you.
@@nickmusttravel yes I meant green card thru marriage and I believe your correct she gas to be living there but I do have a cpf #
@@paulfonseca1389 Yeah I figured it has to be a local resident. I'd still talk to the consulate and see what they say because you never know.
i want to live in rio brazil for the rest of my life but i have no kids and im not married so how do i live in brazil for the rest of my life?
You can get an investment visa, student visa which lasts one year and you can keep renewing, marry a Brazilian or have a child with a Brazilian in order to be able to stay.
@@nickmusttravel ok so if i marry a brazilian i can stay for the rest of my life and not have any problems with like visa and stuff?
@@zar1422 Theoretically yes. However, you will need to renew the permanent residency every 10 years or you could go for Brazilian citizenship at the expiration of the residency.
@@zar1422 you don’t need to marry a Brazilian woman. If you have you child in Brazil, your child will be Brazilian and you can apply to spouse or parents of Brazilian national. So for example your wife is Chinese, but you guys have a kid in Brazil, you guys will be able to live in Brazil. Many Russian women do ir
I want information from you about the Portuguese language test, I don't want to get a government job, I just want to pass the exam to get a Brazilian passport, which course should I take?
I think you are confusing things my friend. You cannot get a Brazilian passport without citizenship nor can you get it with residency. A Portugeuse language test will not get you into the country. You can however come a visit Brazil on a visa or with your passport of your native country. You can stay longer in the country as a student with a student visa. There are many options to be able to extend your stay in Brazil. Hope this helps. Good luck!
@@nickmusttravel My respected friend I am not confusing things, I am providing you the details, 1 I am going to marry my girlfriend in Pakistan in March, she will reach Pakistan on 25th February,
@@nickmusttravel 2 We will get married at the Brazilian Embassy and after some time in Pakistan I will travel to Brazil with my wife.
@@wassemchoudhury9453 I cannot say whether that will count or not. I am assuming that she is a Brazilian living with you in Pakistan? If so, then it might be possible but I can't tell you for certain whether that will work or not.
@@nickmusttravel I know speaking portuguese doesn't get visa nor passport for brazil, my wife knows how and where to register me she will be a little worried after watching your video
How can you get a joint bank account if you are not a citizen??
You can get it if you are marrying someone on paper in Brazil. Just show them the proof at the bank.
In a third world anything is possible.
But having joint account is so dangerous
@@captainsinghdevendersingh It is dangerous if it is with someone you don't know.
@@nickmusttravelso you had to initiate the marriage process prior to opening a bank account to have proof you’re in process, but they won’t let you go through the process without a joint bank account. I’m lost
@@RicoAbroad Yes, it's like catch 22. They nearly did not do it as I guess it is not too common at the banks but the bank manager was able to do the process for me.
I understand your frustration. I’m just now starting to process. I’m gonna start with the CPF Jesus Christ. She went through a lot, brother.
Good luck with the process and remember, stay positive and patient.
