I had planned to retire in Brasil at the end of this year, something I had been planning for over 20 years.
Come the time to start the application process for a retirement visa / visto de aposentadoria, I discover that there is no longer any such visa.
Does anybody have an idea why this type of visa has been discontinued? Or maybe if it will be reinstated at a later stage?
The response from the local consulate is that they have been given no information regarding retirement in Brasil and the only other option is to apply for a work visa! An online information request to the Itamaraty portal has been thusfar unsuccessful.
Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.
