General Info

[Java Man]

I heard from a friend that Brazil stopped issuing retirement visas. Something about a law that has changed.
I don't know if the information is correct, but it might be good to doublecheck for those who have plans to retire in Brazil.

A expat forum stated the same. New immigration law went into effect Nov 2017. But looks like the Brazilian Retiree Visa is now a Permanent Visa. The new requirement is having the pension transferred to Brazil. F that!

This site has info on how to migrate to Brazil and was posted Sept 29,2018.

From a quick google search: 60 yrs old, are $ 6. 000,00 (Six thousand Reais,) monthly income from pension, The deal breaker for me: legally allowed to transfer the pension to Brazil. You know they're going to tax you on that! Ouch!

Thanks.

P.S. Cancun revoking the visa was a lame joke!

I used Cancun revoking the visa because you were looking for information on retirement visa if not I would never mention it. I knew it was a lame joke.

Better to ask there, their forum is more specialized in visa. Related questions.

https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=797621 I think the retirement visa is no more available. , I don't need visa for Brazil and the US and am not a and attorney. So better to use that website, you ll find more expatriates with retirement visas and attorneys specialized in the Brazilian law.

P.S. Cancun terma did not revoke a visa for not being offered anal sex.

It's a "national penchant": https://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/27/w...ht-brazil.html.

It definitely is. Without reading any of the psychology and research, I think the Brazilian man's penchant for anal sex starts with the beautiful Brazilian bunda. The Brazilian bunda is a national obsession and it draws an unusual amount of sexualization in the culture and the media.

That tourist Visa sounds like just what I would want. $44 is a lot better than $160.

That doesn't work for me. It's more expensive in the long run: $220 usd for the same 10 yr period. (I go yearly.) I think the $160 10 yr tourist visa is available at the consular offices. Looks like they've done away with the paper applications. My Consulate sends me to this webpage for the application https://formulario-mre.serpro.gov.br...Web.jsf?aba=-6.

I posted the official Brazilian Government site link for a reason. The other links are for commercial services which charge additional fees.

Sometimes more information is not better, it is just more information and causes confusion.

I am not against free enterprise and capitalism, have used visa agencies in the past for family members and even have recommended them. The reason was because the physical movement of documents was necessary and processing times. The Official eVisa site takes at the most 5 days.

Keep it simple.

Any tips for visiting Sampa in early June? Does the "entertainment" slow down in the winter time?

I took my first trip to Sampa during Brazilian winter. It was not slow at all, and made me definitely want to go back. Being a Norte Americano, I also did not find it to be cold and walked around most days in a light pullover, or just a short-sleeved shirt. They knew I wasn't from there as the locals were freezing hahaha! My room did get a little chilly at night, but that was a matter of poor climate control in the rooms.

You might want to ask your question in the Sao Paulo thread. From my limited experience, Sampa does not slow down in the winter.

The boates and clinicas are just as active as anytime. Like anywhere in the cooler months, the "sightseeing" on the street is greatly diminished by the clothing choices of young women, but that's a minor thing I enjoy.
