Hello,
I'm facing a dilemma right now as I am about to be posted to Rio for a year of work attachment, but I have no idea how Rio is, and I am unable to personally visit it before the attachment.
I have tried to check the forum pages and search for information online, but I have found contradictory information.
I have some inquiries:
a) I have read from multiple online sources that HSBC is the recommended bank for foreigners; are they other alternatives?
b) As a foreigner, are there required documents that I have to obtain?
c) What are the taxes I have to pay as a foreigner (aside from those that would be contributed by my company on my behalf; I am from Singapore, but I am unable to find any information on trade/tax agreements
d) Do ladies hold the same work status as men in Rio?
e) Are their specific behaviours that I should take note of when dealing with my Rio colleagues (i.e. body language, tone, dress code)?
If you could provide me with such information, I would be extremely thankful.
