Sounds exactly like Vancouver BC in Canada.300 days of brutal damp rain and/or gray clouds with 50 +/- days of incredible sunshine and amazing ambiance mixed in. I got transferred there by the bank I worked for, and in the second year I'd had ... Read More

Has anyone else struggled to adjust to life in southern Brazil?My husband, our 11-year-old daughter, and I moved from Florida to Florian贸polis a little over a year ago because it seemed like a safe place to raise our family. While my daughter ...

Hey everyone, thank you for the feedback you already gave me. My partner decided to go a different route and apply for a digital nomad visa. She's a freelance voice actor in Germany and will continue to work remotely during her time in ...

Coming to Brazil from Southwest Florida - Mixed feelings by CATVLYST Music
Hi all, I wanted to share my experience of being in Brazil for four months currently, as well as ten months last year. I'm from SW Florida, in the Tampa Bay area, and have been working on a plan to leave the US once I transition to a fully remote ...
@hagece8690 Wow I need no idea crime in Barra was like that. I always assumed it was even safer than Copacabana/Ipanema. I have heard that in the last year, crime has been going up in Rio in general. - @CATVLYST Music Rio (the city) is 1,700 square ... Read More

Has anybody exited Brazil after renewing their CRNM with the PF and then returned to Brazil on the CRNM protocol to get the physical CRNM card?
Yes they expire. The "data de vencimento" will be clearly written on the document.Now, back when I did mine, they put an actual laminated permanent resident paper visa page in my passport, which I used until I got the card. You had to go to the ... Read More

Are you looking to get permanent residency thru investment in RE ?Barra is only safe if you stay inside your condo prison 24/7 and take the condo bus or an UBER to one of the big US style malls on the other ride of Av das Americas. My brother in ... Read More
CRNM protocol by homendepicanha
Has anybody exited Brazil after renewing their CRNM with the PF and then returned to Brazil on the CRNM protocol to get the physical CRNM card?
Yes, I know one person who has done this recently. I have also (9 years ago) exited like this, and returned some 3 times before I finally got my physical RNE. That is why they give it to you. The "No Requerimento" on the protocolo document is what ... Read More

I've been to Natal but that was 5 years ago and today it is nowhere near as safe due to drug gangs fighting for control like the PCC, TCC, CV, etc. The following is from AI and drawn from government and ONG sources. The tourist areas are always ... Read More

I've got 25 years experience in Rio, and Recreio is an area I would stay away from, but not because of the favela per say, as we all have them here. Some are different from others too. Crime, etc, exists really not because of these, but because of ... Read More

Well IMHO, there is not really much going on anywhere along the coast of NE Brasil to be honest, and I've been almost everywhere from Natal down to Rio, where I live. It's kinda like sleepy hollow up there......all you'll find is peace and comfort. ... Read More

You should visit Joao Pessoa and Porto Seguro, and maybe go gurther south to the city of Saquarema for the amazing surfing. Some of the smaller locales in the nearby region of Porto Seguro like Trancoso and Arrail d'Ajuda might work for you too. Read More
