CPF renewal/confirmation by Kurterino
It has been discussed that starting this year (2025), foreigners have to renew (or confirm) their CPF every year. (For those who didn’t know, here’s the explanation: ...
@Nomad Mundo Thanks a lot, this does indeed make sense. I’ll let my friend know, but knowing him, he probably won’t do anything about it. I wonder if this will have any real-world consequences, other than not being able to activate a SIM ... Read More
Vehicle tax/registration by Kurterino
I purchased a used scooter in January ‘25 and registered it in my name, at which point I also paid the tax and/or registration fee. I’m guessing that for 2026 I will have to renew the registration and/or pay the tax for the new year, and ...
@bepmoht I didn’t know that, my bad. It’s in Bahia. Also, I mixed up the apps, where I mentioned e-titulo, I should have written Carteira digital, an app which lists everything vehicle related, like your driver’s license and your ... Read More

A question for those who like to cook: what’s the deal with cream (creme de leite) in Brasil? At home, cream looks and has the consistency of ‘thick’ milk, and I’ve never seen other types. Here, it’s more like thick ... Read More
Appointment at the Polícia Federal
A friend of mine needs to go see the Polícia Federal, and since he has been coming to Brazil for at least 20 years (always as a visa-exempt tourist), he’s used to just go there, without making an appointment. After checking their ... Read More
Documents For Brazilian Retirement Visa etc. by Mark Blonde
So I just got back from a 3 week trip to São Paulo and surroundings and definitely want to retire there. I'm a little over whelmed with the visa requirements. I know I have everything needed to be granted the visa, but I'm confused on the ...
@Peter Itamaraca Thx, I heard that before, it’s good to have it confirmed. Given that I don’t know which health care providers are the best, nor what kind of provider I might need, I decided to listen to recommendations from people who ... Read More

@Peter Itamaraca Yes, probably. I will probably give it a try anyway, I have nothing to lose other than the fee. And if I have to get a new one, it’s not a huge deal, my situation hasn’t changed, I’ll just update the docs from two ... Read More

And yet another question: unfortunately, I was a bit lazy and let it expire. I’m not in Brazil right now, so I haven’t overstayed, not even for a day. Since I’m able to return to Brazil on the visa-exempt status, do you think the ... Read More
