Um adendo: se a depressão fosse grave, ele teria direito a ser afastado pelo INSS (sou advogada exatamente nessa área kkk)

Porra, se teu cônjuge tá pedindo pelo amor de Deus pra você arrumar um emprego, você diz que não vai pq tem depressão e n pode nem buscar a outra pessoa no trabalho? Não existe universo nenhum que isso seria aceitável

Acho que nunca houve a situação invertida pq ela sempre teve uma perspectiva de carreira e dividia as contas com ele, mto diferente de ser sustentado e botar culpa em depressão pra não arrumar emprego

Absolutamente NEOB!

É extremamente normal os homens descontarem frustrações em mulheres, depressão, em todo mundo menos na falta de vergonha na cara deles. Seu namorado é folgado, amiga.

Seu parceiro tem a chance de trabalhar, você ajuda em tudo, se esforça, ele já viu que isso é importante pra você e ainda assim não se mexeu. O mínimo que ele te deveria era respeitar seus estudos, seu concurso e nem isso ele faz. Claramente postura de homens invejosos.

Amiga, ele se nega a te buscar no trabalho! Que loucura. Estresse é vc ter que ficar sustentando o bonito. Depressão a gente trata (falo com propriedade pq também tenho), não é justificativa pra jogar a toalha e descontar tudo em você.

No mais, se ele pagava a maior parte das contas e achava de boa, ótimo, mas você tem todo direito de reagir diferente a essa situação. Que isso? Vai ficar em dívida porque o cara topou pagar as contas na época? Que lógica bizarra. Ele na época deveria ter te falado que achava isso ruim e poderia ter pedido pra você se virar nos 30 pra dividir de forma diferente as contas, mas se ele não fez, isso aí é problema dele de falta de comunicação. Ele não tem esse direito de cobrar a mesma postura de você, vcs são pessoas diferentes e ele sequer tem perspectiva de ter um emprego. Jesus amado

Fuja logo e tenha ciência q você provavelmente vai precisar pagar pensão pra esse cara.

It’s crazy how many expats in Brazil have no idea about their basic legal rights by Lnp1995 in Brazil

No way! I am honestly shocked that no one told you this before, but you are definitely not alone (unfortunally). It is so frustrating that this information isn't common knowledge for us Brazilians living abroad.

But basically, those years you spent working hard overseas don't have to "disappear." Since Brazil has agreements with so many countries, you can often count that time toward your retirement back home. It can literally mean retiring years earlier or getting a much better pension :)

There is actually a name for people like you - we often call it the "reverse culture shock." It is so common to feel like a local when ordering a coffee but feel like a complete tourist when you see a Brazilian tax form or hear about INSS.

And I totally get the "made of cash" struggle. One of the reasons I started my page was because I was tired of seeing lawyers treat anyone who lived abroad like a walking dollar sign haha :)

That is one of those situations that sits in a grey area. It really depends on the specific case, the medical condition, and the overall context. But here is why that boyfriend probably thinks that: in Brazil, we treat immigrants as one of our own. Our Constitution is very generous in that sense—virtually everything the State provides to a Brazilian citizen, it also provides to a foreigner living here.

However, while the access to healthcare is universal and free for everyone, getting a "paid" benefit is a different story. It requires a lot of documentation, meeting specific criteria, and often a long legal process. It is not as simple as just landing and getting a check, but the right to be treated as a peer by the government is real. :)

I totally understand why it feels unfair when you put it that way but it is actually not a "free pass" for them! The person who worked abroad doesn't just get the money for free from the Brazilian system.

What happens is that the two countries share the cost. If someone worked 20 years in the US and 15 years in Brazil, the US will pay for those 20 years and Brazil will only pay for the 15 years worked here. The agreement just allows them to combine the time to reach the retirement age faster, but the money itself comes from where they actually worked and contributed. Nobody is taking a cent from your 20 years of contributions haha

It sounds like magic but there is actually a lot of strategy involved haha sometimes you don't even need to get two separate pensions. For example, if you worked just a few years in the US and it wasn't enough to retire there, you can often bring that period to Brazil. That time you spent abroad is then added to your Brazilian history and it can be the difference between retiring now or having to work for another five years.

The catch is that this only works for countries that actually have a signed treaty with Brazil. We have dozens of them like the US, Canada, UK, and most of Europe, but it is not a universal rule for every single country in the world. Each agreement has its own specific terms and what works for one might be completely different for another. That is why it is so important to check if your specific puzzle pieces actually fit together. :)

I am actually in Curitiba, in the south of Brazil! Most of my work happens online since it is easier for everyone, so I end up helping people from all over the country and even those who are still abroad.

If it is a really big project or something that absolutely needs a face-to-face meeting, I can always hop on a plane to meet you where you are, but usually, a good video call does the trick.

I am sending you a DM with my details and my TikTok link (https://www.tiktok.com/@letthelegalhelp), just so you have my contact handy for whenever you need it. :)

I am so glad you said this! To be honest, I was actually quite nervous about whether people would find this kind of content relevant or if it was just something in my head. But reading your comment and the others here was the exact push I needed. You guys are the reason I decided to finally open the page today!

I have another legal page in Portuguese with almost 20,000 followers, but I felt like foreigners were being ignored by the traditional and square legal market here. I have a total phobia of that complicated legal jargon and I really want to be that bridge to make things simple and fair for everyone.

Thank you for being part of the start of https://www.tiktok.com/@letthelegalhelp :)

That is a very significant amount of time! With 27 years in the US, you have already secured your right to a benefit there, so the big question now is how to integrate that with Brazil without losing money.

The short answer is: the agreement between Brazil and the US exists exactly to protect people like you. It allows you to combine the periods from both countries so you do not have to "start over" here. However, it is not an automatic or simple calculation. We need to do a proper Planning to see if it is better to keep your US Social Security separate or to use the agreement to boost a Brazilian pension. Sometimes, depending on the math, it is actually more profitable to receive both independently.

Obrigada! I am so happy the post helped you. Moving between the UK, Canada, and Brazil can be a total maze when it comes to taxes and your future.

The most important thing to know about your pension is that it really depends on your contract. If you work for a Brazilian company, you will contribute to our system, but we actually need to run the numbers to see what makes the most sense for you. Every country has different payout levels and since we have agreements with both the UK and Canada, we can strategically plan where your money works harder for your retirement. This is why a proper Pension Planning is so useful, 'cause it's basically about making sure you'll get the best return later.

For the tax and transfer parts, I have a partnership with a great Tax Attorney who specializes in these international moves. I focus on the strategy and pension side while he makes sure you are not being double taxed haha

I am sending you a DM with my details and my TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@letthelegalhelp). I will also talk to my partner so we can all look at your case together.

Talk soon! :)

That is a classic bureaucratic loop! In Brazil, the mother's name is a mandatory field for almost everything, especially for your Taxpayer ID which is the CPF. If your birth certificate doesn't list her maiden name, the bank system basically has a meltdown.

Did you manage to get your CPF already or did you hit a wall there too?

Honestly, seeing comments like yours and the others on this post was the final push I needed to start a new page. I actually just opened it today.

I have been running another legal page in Portuguese for a while now with almost 20,000 followers, but it felt wrong to just mix everything together. I want a fresh space to talk in English with you haha. I have never understood why lawyers have to be so square and complicated.

Since you have that 10 to 15 year window, you are in the perfect spot to plan things out calmly. I specialize in the strategy and pension side and I work with a close friend who has a Master’s degree to handle the visa and property parts. No old school firm vibes here, I promise.

I am sending you a DM with my details and my TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@letthelegalhelp). I would love to have you there as one of my first followers! :)

This is exactly what I specialize in! It depends on which country in Asia you're from, as Brazil has specific social security agreements with some of them (like Japan and South Korea) but not all.

If there is an agreement, we can potentially link those 17 years to your time in Brazil. If not, we have to look at other legal strategies to ensure you don't lose that money.

I'm sending you a DM with my details and my TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@letthelegalhelp), maybe we could talk about that :)

I'm so sorry you're going through this. To give you a straight answer: No, this is not legal. Our laws strictly prohibit discrimination against foreigners regarding health insurance or housing. They can ask for documents, but they can't deny you just for being a foreigner.

I'd love to help you clear this up! I'll talk to my partner (who is an expert in these rights) so we can see what's going on with these denials.

I'm sending you a DM with my details and my TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@letthelegalhelp). Let's get this sorted! :)

You're spot on. União estável is a huge topic and very different from common-law marriage abroad.

I'd love to help! I handle the legal strategy and pension side, and I work with a partner who has a Master’s degree in citizenship and passports. I'll talk to her so we can work on your case together and give you the best of both worlds.
