1. WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR A PERMANENT VISA?

Those moving to Brazil due to:

A) FAMILY REUNION: dependents moving to Brazil to be joined with a Brazilian citizen or Brazilian permanent visa holder.

Please check the dependent section of our website for more information.

Attention: Being married to a Brazilian citizen does not automatically entitle a foreign citizen to obtain a permanent visa. If the family will not be moving to Brazil on a permanent basis, please apply for a tourist visa.

B) Retirement residence transfer;

C) Work as a manager or director of a religious or social assistance organization;

D) Personal investment in Brazil;

E) Intra-company transferee to work as manager, director, or executive

F) Person of extraordinary ability in the sciences, technological, research, or academic fields, with a job offer at a Brazilian research, scientific, or academic organization.

NOTE: Except for circumstances involving family reunion (case 1A), retirement (case 1B), or work as a manager or director of a religious or social assistance organization (case 1C), all other cases have to be initiated in Brazil (work permit authorization by the Ministry of Labor is required prior to submitting a visa application).

As yo can see it takes a lot to become a PR in Brazil. Must have family or get married with a brazil citizen.
Documents must be translated by official Portuguese translator and legalized/apostille and presented to PF
It took me over a year for marriage and approval of all. Not cheap either.

If I already have my marriage certificate register in Brazil , can my British husband get in with a tourist visa and apply for residency at the federal police or does he need to get the family reunion visa in the UK first ? So you know ?

Foreigners will have 30 (thirty) days from the date of arrival in Brazil to register with the Federal Police in the city where he/she will be based, in order to obtain the CRNM (Carteira de Registro Nacional Migratório - National Migration Registry Card), which is an identity card for foreigners.
He may enter on tourist waiver visa and begin process
The MJ website or http://interpoli.poli.ufrj.br/crnm/

Thank you so much for your answer.
We already have all the docs ready, the only one missing is the police check that we are going to apply 2 months before our trip so can still be valid when we get to Brazil.
Also. After reading everything we decided to apply for the family reunion visa in the UK so we have everything ready for the policia federal. I'll be heavily pregnant when we arrive so I want to make sure that everything is good !
We already have another Brazilian child , so I'm sure that they will have enough documents to start the process as soon as possible 🤗.
Thanks again

Sounds good. Parabens

All the best!
