Hello everyone! I'm struggling a bit with the language requirement for Brazilian citizenship. The CELPE-BRAS exam will be held in April. I've signed up for the test. However, since registering, I haven't been able to find any additional information regarding how to pay for the test and how to schedule my oral exam. I've contacted the testing center where I should be taking the test, but they can't figure out what's wrong. I've also contacted INEP, but haven't gotten a response thus far. From my understanding, I have to pay by March 6th, or I'll lose my spot. I'm kind of desperate at this point. So, my first question is, has anyone experienced this problem?
My other question is, can anyone point me in the direction of any Portuguese courses that are recognized and accepted by the Brazilian government in relation to applying for citizenship? From my understanding, I can take the CELPE-BRAS exam, but I can also take a certified language course. The only problem is, I don't know how to find these courses, both online and here in Brasilia.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me advice or point me in the right direction. Thanks for reading!
