Brazil is open to refugees.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

Just saying.

[seabeyond]

1. humidity and big bugs and heat, too. i like the u.s. gonna stay. thanks

though

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

17. You're welcome.

Good. We don't like tight-assed prude jerks like you here.

[AspenRose]

2. Is there an age limit for immigration?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

3. Not that I know of. -nt

[AspenRose]

18. All the Brazilians I've ever met have had hearts of gold.

And a great sense of humor.

Could probably use some social workers there, too. I can't uproot my family but I could probably do a brief social work exchange program.

:hi:

[FSogol]

4. No poverty there, right?

:eyes:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

5. Don't like being around poor people?

[FSogol]

11. No, Brazil's rw is much more hardcore than the US version.

As for the poor, I'd rather live in a place where all citizens have opportunities, not in a place where children beg and turn tricks in the streets. Many Americans love visiting impoverished areas since their US bucks allow them to live like kings. I ain't one of those people.

23. "I'd rather live in a place where all citizens have opportunities"

I recommend Germany then.

6. So I can just show up at the border

and become a Brazilian?

I'm going to cancel my next appointment and check this out. If this is true this is a dream come true. I'll be outta here in a week. I would so love to leave this land of bullshit and warmongers. Thanks for the tip-

Scheiße

Immigration visa to Brazil will be granted only to applicants who satisfy the special requirements established by the Brazilian National Immigration Council or the Ministry of Labor. In principle, there are seven cases in which a foreigner can obtain a permanent residence visa to Brazil:


The administrator, manager or director of a professional or business corporation

Administrator, manager or director of a start-up company

Investor

A researcher or high level specialist

Retiree
A retired foreigner, over 50, who will transfer to Brazil the monthly equivalent of at least US$ 2,000. The main applicant must prove he has a pension of at least US$ 2,000 a month. This will entitle him to visas for himself and two dependents. The applicant must demonstrate an additional US$ 1,000/month for each additional dependent, over and above the two already mentioned, and must supply, amongst other things:
A statement from the foreign agency responsible for paying his retirement pension, informing the total monthly sum of the benefit;
A bank declaration authorizing monthly transfer of at least US$ 2,000.


Marriage to a Brazilian citizen

Foreigner with Brazilian offspring

7. Confederate refugees went there after the civil war-

Their descendants are still keeping the 'tradition' alive.

[fascisthunter]

Small correction: There were some states where Serra got a slightly higher percentage than SP, but in absolute numbers that was his greatest advantage by far.

[uncommon]

15. The thought of moving to a modern civilized country sounds good about now.

Hard to watch the US keep slipping back to the dark ages.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

19. I daresay we ARE indeed part of the Secular Democratic West.

There's less money to go around, but that's incidental.

[dawg]

20. Tempting.

I love warm weather. And you do have some of the most beautiful women in the world.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

22. And if you DON'T love warm places, we have cold places too.

Mauá. Caxias do Sul. Curitiba.

Of course, for us, "cold" means "there were some years in which the temperature dropped below freezing for a day, at 4 AM."

21. Actually, it's been on my list of places to check out. I'll never be able to retire here.

Do they need nurses these days? :)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

24. Nurses are welcome.

As long as they don't have a taser fetish. (DU long-timers will get that.)
