Posts: 75Permanent visas are automatically voided
I've had a permanent visa since 1997. I understand that: "Permanent visas are automatically voided if the visa holder stays out of Brazil for 24 consecutive months." I am currently in the USA. I was last in Brazil on Oct. 22,2014.
Can someone with experience please tell me: Until what date can I return to Brazil without having my visa voided?
October 21, or Oct. 22,2016 would be the obvious answer, but the Polica Federal may have a different way of calculating. Got to make reservations. Thanks.

Posts: 1026Gyms in Copacabana?
Does anyone have names / locations of any gyms in Copa? Looking both for my own workout purposes and to pick up hotties.
Thanks!

Barring a declaration, you'd need either a term apartment rental contract (in Portuguese) or a proof of purchase on your own place.

Don't expect anything to happen quickly, and don't expect common sense to prevail (ever), and you'll be fine.

Posts: 1026Road to Residency!
Yesterday (Wednesday), I submitted my application to the Brazilian Consulate for the Permanent Visa for Retirement. The Consular Officer said it should be done in 3 to 5 business days! The website says 2-3 months. We'll see what happens. I'll check up on the status on late Monday to see if there's any progress.

Posts: 1026Post Office Box / Mailbox
Today, I went into the Consulate of Brazil and submitted the form for my CPF so I can open a bank account when I arrive in August. I should be submitting for my Perm Residence visa next week.
So, my question is, short of buying or renting property, how can I get a Brazilian address that will receive domestic and US mailings? Do the post offices have boxes for rent? Are there other mail services that would fit the bill?
Thanks in advance!

From time to time you also may encounter a shit-slinger. Guys who sneak up behind you as you are walking in front of the kiosks along the beach and throw grease on your shoes in hopes you will pay them to clean it off. Just when you think they have gone away for good, they strike. Just be on the lookout for kids with shoe shine boxes.

Posts: 154For the love of dogshit
I have been to Ecuador and Argentina, and am about to go to Brazil for the first time, and I have a politically incorrect question about dogshit on the streets. What inspires my question is some random observations from past travels in South America.
An observation I made in Ecuador is that Quito doesn't have any such problems, but the beach villages of Ecuador absolutely do. The beaches are not as ritzy as Quito, but are certainly more loved.
Another observation, in Buenos Aires, San Telmo has a VERY bad VERY annoying problem, but Puerto Madero does not. San Telmo is considered to be ritzy as far as the locals are concerned, but not as ritzy as Puerto Madero.
So using this logic, should I physically prepare myself for 3 weeks of nonstop hopscotch on the streets of Ipanema?

I figured I had a confirmed Sperto sighting in the "Garoto" in the above video. Since Sperto identified the best prive talent for a very fun run of about 6 back to back duplas with a nice mulata last year.
The 3 "pearls negras" in the video had me thinking, Triplo?

I saw this band down in POA, in between pernoite sex with a 25 year old -- which tells you what the GDP you are chasing actually does on her Saturday nights at 2 AM -- goes to electronic music / funk, and dances her bundinha off. In fact, I was at the concert in the video above in the lower left hand corner dancing with her.

I guess some gringos imagine that all young non-white kids without T-shirts are bandits.
