Hello everyone. I need help getting a visa that I can keep renewing for as long as I want to live in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I have looked into a student visa for Portuguese courses but all the courses I saw were quite expensive, unless I have been searching in the wrong places I think this is not the way to go. Next I tried to secure a work contract as an English teacher so I can get a work visa but all the companies I talked to want me to be currently living in Brazil before I can get a contract. Also, I heard that it is near impossible to get a work visa to be an English teacher, any ideas? Finally, I have checked out volunteer options in Brazil but for some reason they charge a ridiculous amount despite the fact that I will be giving free labor. If anyone knows of cheap or free volunteer opportunities in Sao Paulo, that would also be something I could do. Anyway, please tell me your thoughts and give me guidance so that I can find the best option for getting a visa before I move to Brazil.
