Sorry Zack, I wasn't clear and should have written that Mineiro is right, BUT there is no contradiction betw what M.A wrote and what i wrote... once you have all the papers you need to apply for a change of visa status (your employer's job!), you still need to apply for the change from your country of residence (get your passport re-stamped).
Is this better? |

Well usually the company is doing that before the foreigner enters Brazil, because work permit and visa are connected, they don´t issue one without the other.
I have no idea if this could be done while the foreigner is already in the Brazil, like a tourist or so!?!?!?!?
Anyway, this would be the smallest problem. More difficult is to find a company who really wants to do all the paperwork and hassle for you.
GOOD LUCK!

I'm really bothered by your pessimism:
" I´m almost 100% sure that the company will loose their interest in hiring you, once they find out what THEY need to do"
While there might be some difficulties, it certainly doesn't call for an attitude of 100% failure.
I'm really uncertain why a company with 160,000 employees and a HR staff looking into this can't hire a foreigner with a unique skill. Seems you're telling me that brazil has NEVER hired a foreigner to work in this country.
However, we have come across a hitch which wasn't mentioned here and seems very important. It may even be usefull information for someone in the future who is looking to do the same as me. The law requires that the company hiring a foreigner must pay him/her at the same rate as their last job. This seems nearly impossible. We are trying to work around this but it looks like a very difficult hurtle. A hurtle for which neither I nor the hiring company have anything to do with. |

Hi everyone,
I'm a longtime member here (on and off) and I finally got my butt down to Brazil. My problem now is that tomorrow is the end of my 3 month stay on a tourist visa. I want to extend it, but apparently I need to show the PF evidence of sufficient funds to stay here for an extended 3 months. Anyone know how much that might be? Thanks so much!

It's a new calendar year Doido. The 90 day clock starts anew with the new year. I've had friends who have done the same thing. Why even get the PF envolved? Stay and make the calendar year change over argument at the airport on your way home, ... and that's only if they say you over stayed.
Anyway, a credit card should serve as evidence of sufficient funds. I don't think they want you to provide proof of availability for a specified amount of funds.

Would that mean that for a man and wife $4000 USD? Sometimes applying logic to governmental matters yields poor results, if you know what I mean.
As for the $50,000 investment, can that be in a home or condo? Not that a condo isn't a home. |
