I have a question about naturalization in Brazil:
According to Law no. 6815, of August 9, 1980 and its amendments, the applicant must meet many conditions to qualify for lodging an application including these two:
1. Registered as a permanent resident of Brazil, and
2. living in Brazil for at least four uninterrupted years prior to lodging the application.
My question is:
Should these four years be exclusively lived under the permanent residency status?
What about the years uninterruptedly lived as a student or under the refugee status prior to getting permanent residency?
Thank You,
