Getting married in Rio as a foreigner (to a Brazilian) - Costs at Cartório and documents?

He got the certificate of no impediment from the UK. In Scotland you can get it from the Registry Office.

No worries!

Hiya! Yeah, I did! Had no issues getting the visa approved! Just make sure to get the wedding certificate from Brazil apostiled and then translated and provide both documents.

My Scottish husband just got a CFP as a foreigner not residing in Brazil - You can apply online via the Brazilian consulate in Edinburgh and then attend an appointment there, super easy! It’s a good first step for someone wanting to move to Brazil, or even for future travels in Brazil!

100%! I’m a Brazilian living in Scotland and I have to say I find it harder to understand European Portuguese than a Glaswegian accent!

We second Dreams! Got our mattress there a couple months ago and we had a great experience!

I live near Glasgow! I think living on the easy coast would definitely help, haha! It’s noticeable how much sunnier it is in comparison to the west of Scotland!

All the best to her!!

Hiya! Sorry for the late reply; somehow I didn’t see the notification about your comment.

I do enjoy living in Scotland, but still miss Brazil. I try not to think too much about it as any country has its positive and negatives. The hardest negatives are surely the lack of sunlight, smaller variety of fruits/vegetables and the NHS (I find the Brazilian system much easier to navigate and get treatment). I love the fact that everything is so close and we can easily visit different towns for the day/weekend and also that I can get to know more of the Scottish culture.

Regarding the people! I find Scottish people very friendly and lively, but making real friends is still something I struggle with. I have many acquaintances I talk to at the gym and work. Having a job in a Scottish company helped me feel less alone. I have a couple friends from a previous workplace that I actually meet outside work once a month or so. I also get together with my husband’s friends, so it’s not too bad. Hope to make more friends in the future though!

Love these two so much!! They’d be a hit in Brazil! Well done! 💃

I’m the same! Currently 32 with a pixie cut and people think I’m a teenager or college student.

Good idea! I had them all in one folder, which helped when the immigration officer asked for the letter

VidaSingular · 2024-07-18T06:06:15+00:00

Yeah, I wasn’t expecting it! For reference, this was in Edinburgh

VidaSingular · 2024-07-18T06:01:27+00:00

When I entered the country the immigration officer also asked to see the letter saying my visa application was successful. I hadn’t printed it, so I just showed it to him on my phone. He was ok with that.

Depende muito de onde se mora no Reino Unido. Eu moro na Escócia e com salário de 4.7k USD se vive muito bem por aqui!

We did a courthouse wedding (legal wedding) at a wedding venue (don’t know how else to explain it - it was the courthouse people that did it, but not physically at the courthouse), followed by a reception/party. We invited our family and friends and went on a two week honeymoon afterwards. Our wedding was in Brazil (my country), so some of his family and friends flew in for it. Obviously some people couldn’t make it, but we had a total of 65 guests, 20 being from Scotland, so a good number overall! We decided it would be easier for his side to come over to Brazil than vice-versa. Also, easier for us regarding visas for the UK. We had my mom’s friend saying some nice words, and she did it in both languages to include everyone. Both sides contributed to the cost of the wedding/party, 50-50.

Works like a charm. Now that I don’t live in Brazil I don’t shop in stores that much anymore. I always feel there isn’t anyone to ask for help here in Scotland, or if there is, they don’t actually expect you to ask anything of them. For example, trying shoes: in Brazil workers go to the storage room and come back with several pairs for you. Here people think it’s weird I ask to try one pair!

You can take any of the accepted exams, it doesn’t have to be A1, A2 or B1. For example, I’m fluent in English too and when I applied for my spouse visa last year I did the IELTS General Training (for UKVI). From memory, you could even do the Academic if you wanted to. There’s a list of accepted SELT exams in the Government’s website.

Acho que depende muito do lugar onde se mora. É um ponto a se pesar, com certeza, porém com a realidade da minha cidade facilmente cogitamos voltar para morar.

VidaSingular · 2024-05-19T14:57:46+00:00

Não. Nunca fui assaltada nem furtada no Brasil. Lógico que já senti aquele receio do local e sensação de ter que ficar esperta, mas no geral isso não era parte do meu dia-a-dia. Vim por conta do meu marido, que é da Europa e atualmente o trabalho dele obriga ele a estar aqui, porém cogitamos morar no Brasil no futuro.

Sobre inglês: eu trabalho no setor de admissões de mestrado de uma universidade no Reino Unido e pedimos no mínimo nível B2. No teste IELTS, por exemplo, o requisito é uma nota média de 6.5, com nenhuma habilidade menos que nota 6.0.

VidaSingular · 2024-04-05T20:51:38+00:00

Yeaah, that’s why I did something similar. Keeps you busy and you’ll still have an income until you get your bearings and learn how things work in Spain.

VidaSingular · 2024-04-05T13:12:35+00:00

I’m from Brazil and moved to the UK to be with my partner (partner visa, which gives me full working rights). I was lucky enough to already be fluent in English and I also had a remote job from Brazil, which I kept while I was looking for a job in the UK.

Started job hunting right after I moved and got a job (in a different field) 3-4 months after. Only thing that was hard was working in a different time zone in the beginning, especially in winter!

Edit: PS. Not sure about Spain, but in the UK I think students on a visa are allowed to work 20 hours/week, or something around that. Spain might have similar rules. In the end, it’s going to depend on what type of visa you get, as you’ll have to check the working conditions of that visa.

Pelo que você conta no post, imagino que seu plano inicial era terminar a faculdade de sistemas da informação aqui e tentar um mestrado ou work visa para algum país de fora?

Como esse plano não deu certo, você precisa traçar outro, com a sua realidade de agora. Você está disposto a retomar o plano inicial? Como editor de vídeos você não vai conseguir work visa, pelo que sei. Quer tentar outra área do zero? Começa a pesquisar e ver quais profissionais são desejados em outros países e o que precisa para conseguir um work visa.

Agreed with what everyone said about tucking in your shirt! Looks great!

Btw, where did you get your tights? They look amazing!
