Getting married in Brazil, Permanent Visa and documents required

Do you believe I need my birth certificate however for the stable union at the PF.

What's a a fillação? Will my passport have it?

"Filiação" is the complete names of both of your parents.  It's required for Brazilian ID documents, and if the listed documents from your country don't show it, you need your Birth Certificate to provide it.

"Once you are married then you should immediately go to the Policia Federal - Setor de Estrangeiros (Federal Police - Foreigner Sector) with your original Marriage Certificate and other necessary documents and apply for a VIPER Permanent Visa (com base em cônjuge brasileiro/a). When your visa application is accepted the Federal Police will issue you a protocolo which bears your photo, basic information about your identity, nationality, parent's names, etc., which will be valid for 180 days. The protocolo allows you to remain legally in the country until the visa process is completed. This can take anywhere from one year to two years under normal circumstances, even longer if there is any problem. So, you will have to continue going back to the Federal Police every six months (before the expiry date on the protocolo) to get it extended (prorrogação). They will stamp it and it will be valid for a further 180 days. You need to keep doing this until you finally get the visa issued.

If I will apply for this VIPER permanent visa (duo being married with brazilian)  while staying in Brazil on this  90 days visa exemption rule for touristic purpose wll I be able to go travel to other countries (go back to EU for 1-2 months) ? On what basis I would be able to come back to brazil then (when waiting for granting the visa as it can take 1-2 years) ?

thank you. I'm going to have to send my birth certificate back to England to get this apostilled along with my criminal record check.

Thankfully the cartorio I went to only wants my passport and cfp for the stable union.

Make sure the issue date on the birth certificate is no more than 90 days prior to turning it in.

Mike and when applying for VISA you had only to show marriage certificate and ciriminal record or sth more? (other than passports of course)

The cartorio in Bertioga required copies of all pages of my passport and then authenticated them. I had my birth certificate and my divorce papers apostilled in California  and translated here. Once we were married we took the passport pages, birth certificate, and the new marriage certificate to the PF Unit in Santos and filled out a couple forms, paid the fees, had my picture taken although I had to bring 3 with me, and fingerprints taken. I signed a document there that said I have had no interactions with the police since arriving.

As of 14 August 2016, the Hague Apostille Convention will enter into force in Brazil.

I just want to know as i am from India
1. Will i need Birth certificate?

Yes. You will need your birth certificate and it has to be apostilled.

2. Will i Need "Single Certificate"? ( i never get married in my life)

If your government has such a document, yes. If not, I believe you will need to write and sign a document to that effect.

3. Will i need to apostlle my educational documents for working in Brazil as my qualification?

Yes. But you there will also be language exams and educational knowledge exams for you to get your "carteiro de trabalho" here.

4. What will be expenses for getting a normal marriage in Brazil as on 2018?

That varies from cartorio to cartorio.  We paid about R$100 here in Bertioga.


5. Anything else you think  fit to expand my information !!!

Learn Portuguese. You will need it for the tests and the wedding.

6. What document will be needed by my Future Spouse?

Birth certificate no more than 90 days old when filing for marriage. ALL documents must be less than 90 days old when presented, even yours.


Please Explain everything

Thanks

can't i work with a minimal knowledge of Portuguese ?

As long as you know and understand enough to pass the tests, yes. The tests are required for your "carteiro do trabalho" the book/document that outlines your skills and work experience.

Because it's very difficult to get proficiency in any language sooner until you're living in such type environment where the particulate langues getting used

Use online resources such as Duolingo and Livemocha to train your Portuguese.

Please Guide

For marriage ceremony, there no prerequisite of Portuguese Language Test..... It is mandatory for naturalization.

I've had several people I know go through the process with their educational documentation. You have to be able to prove you can communicate effectively in order for them to issue the carteiro do trabalho and you need that to get a legal job here.

What Portuguese Language Test you talk about? In my case in cartorio was simple question if I speak portugese and the woman was speaking about the process in cartorio... but my wife had to translate some thinks so she told my portugese won't be enough for the marriage ceremony and we need translator.... but it the end we manage to resolve this. So I guess passing some official test is not required... but unofficial requirement of passing "cartorio test of portugese" or requirment of having translator  could exist in reality and depends on the people working in cartorio etc.

The official test I've been talking about, as I've repeatedly said, is not for getting married, it is for proving your educational/professional knowledge and that you can function properly in a Brazilian company if you want to legally work in Brazil and especially if you want your work in Brazil to count towards your retirement.  Again, it is not for getting married, although at least knowing enough to answer the questions leading up to the cartorio signing your wedding certificate is recommended.
