Naturalization has become a nightmare.

Hi Michael

Please note that I have posted details about this in another thread.  Taking th CELPE Bras is not mandatory anymore.  There are other options available including taking a Language course focusing on Migrants as long as it’s administered by an entity that’s accredited by the Ministry of Education - Brazil

Lastly just for your info they are looking for a 2/5 in the CELPE Bras. Showing that you have Basic knowledge of the Portuguese language

Can you link to your posting? Thanks.

I think Celpe-Bras is mandatory. I showed my course certificate of UNESP before Celpe-Bras was not mandatory and PF did not accept it as an alternative.

Celpe Bras is no longer mandatory.  In my other posts I have posted the link along with the rest of the details.

hello everyone,
pls i would like to ask a question about naturalization, if you exit after staying for one year without applying for naturalization due to an emergency, when you return would they start counting again for another year or you can go ahead and apply?
thanks for the help

You can go ahead and apply.  They do ask you for the dates when you exited the country and the reasoning behind it however it won’t effect your application.  Specially citing the fact that you have already completed 1 year on the residency

Thank you for the response because i was really worried if I could still apply or I have to wait for another year!

Glad to be of help!  Best of luck!!
