I am an Indian. I worked in Brazil in 2013-2014. Currently Im in Australia. I am planning to withdraw FGTS but was informed by Brazil embassy that FGTS withdrawal was not possible from CaixaBank in Australia anymore (prev possible). Is there a way to contact Caixa Bank either through email or call? Or can someone guide me in withdrawing FGTS from outside Brazil

I am almost certain you would have to do this in person at the bank in Brazil...

@Peter Itamaraca My friends were able to withdraw FGTS before COVID from Sydney, so was wondering if it can be done. Do you know if its possible that my Power of Attorney can do it on my behalf?

Maybe best to ask your friends how they did it...?

You would only be able to possibly use a Public POA, if it mentioned specifically a power to represent you to claim the FGTS.

Unfortunately, their site says that telephone service is only available in Portuguese.
If the FGTS app is available in your Google Store, you might give that a try with the help of Google Translate. It appears that the app only needs your CPF and personal information -- birthdate, etc.
