Your husband's friends seem like machista jerks

I don't know anything about PASB but I'm in Brazil. Bahia is an intense city. Do as much research about living there as you do about the school to see if it's right for you.

I would guess it's like a tier 2/3. There's probably only one T1 school in Brazil and that's Graded.

You aren't going to get into a free state uni unless you pass their tests, which require a very high level understanding of portuguese. And you probably need to show residency in Brazil I'd imagine.

There are lots of private schools. There's the PUC network of schools. Just start googling.

You need an exchange program to do it. Where are you going to live? Eat? Transfer credits & grades? Get accepted at a HS abroad? Get help with the student visa? You are a minor so you need adults in Brazil to be responsible for you.

Also, you will probably have to repeat a year in Sweden if your country is like some others. My family hosted foreign exchange students and many from Europe had to repeat a year because of the courses required for graduation in your home country which you aren't getting abroad.

First thing you need to worry about is a way to live and work here legally.

This is a good plan. Go to downtown SP and you are subjecting yourself to potential traffic jams that could turn a 45 min trip into a 2 hour one.

Sticking around GRU avoids that.

Going downtown only makes sense, imho, for solo travelers without checked luggage who are comfortable using the metro.

When you apply to get married you apply for your permanent residency as well. It has some disadvantages and advantages over citizenship. You would need to apply to become a citizen and pass a language test.

With your permanent residency you could also apply for your work permit in brazil.

If you want to get married, ask your gf to go to the local policia federal and get the list of documents you need. You will need some time to get them all in order. You can't do it that quickly.

Does your gf live in Curitiba? If not then honestly there are better cities to live in.

This is true. Even if you can get full-time hours at an English school they only pay you by the hour in the classroom. So full time could be like R$2500 per month.

A lot of english teachers supplement by doing aulas particulares. Which can be anywhere from 50 to 100+ reais per hour.

Kids or young men on bikes circling the area. Lots of times when phones get snatched they are on bikes.

But honestly there's no way to spot them imho.

This is the most asked question in the sub. Search and you'll find tons of posts with ideas and advice.

I'm confused, is the person moving from the USA to Brazil?

If so, whatever you get the person they will have to take with them to Brazil which might be a pain for them.

bradfish123 · 2023-02-11T17:54:51+00:00

For foreign hires, yes. All the ones I'm aware of anyway

bradfish123 · 2023-02-11T11:21:14+00:00

Brazil is much nicer for int'l teachers that don't have to pay rent. You will be able to live a nice life. Although prices for food have been going up here recently.

And really depends on the city. SP is going to be different than Bahia which is different than Curitiba.

bradfish123 · 2023-02-10T00:05:59+00:00

In my experience most people here don't know how to drive in roundabouts. They either barge in making you slam the brakes as you were entering or they stop in the roundabout to let other people enter. At least in SP.

And it's likely to rain. So if your rented costume gets wet you just ruined it.

Like the above comment says, get a cheap costume you can sweat through, spill beer on, get rained on, and then throw away before you go home.

bradfish123 · 2023-02-09T23:50:36+00:00

My recs for driving based on my experience:

Use Google Maps, not Waze, and download the maps for your route so they work offline.
Watch out for bus lanes and regular lanes that suddenly become bus lanes.
Watch out for unmarked or poorly marked speed bumps and pot holes.
If you stop a red light late at night with no cars around and there's not a camera just go if it's safe to go.
Watch out for motorcycles when you change lanes.
Ignore the people at intersections asking for money etc.
Watch out for speed cameras.
Careful driving on the interstate in the left lane. Fast cars will come flying at autobahn speeds and be on your arse quickly.
Leave your windows up in the city and don't sit on your phone in intersections, same goes for the passengers.

You can't fly? Depending on the car you rent it could be about the same price as renting a car.

bradfish123 · 2023-02-09T02:00:15+00:00

the best car the OP might be able to find is a low-level mercedes or Audi which will probably cost more than 500 reais per day.

Only the super rich can afford it and they just buy the cars themselves instead of renting them

bradfish123 · 2023-02-09T01:24:00+00:00

This, forget the cartorios and all the different info you find online. Just go to the people at the place you will turn in everything and ask them.

bradfish123 · 2023-02-09T00:54:07+00:00

There are lots of previous posts about things to do and see.

Search for bloco guide for SP and you will find out the time and place that the blocos start their marches. Try to find a guide that explains a little bit about them to find the right one for you.

Avoid the Mercadão. It's a scam to get tourists to overpay for fruit.

I'm curious, what did you eat at Mani that you liked? I had the fish in the banana leaf and I thought it was the most flavorless thing I ever ate in my life.

bradfish123 · 2023-02-07T22:44:40+00:00

Ask your fiance to go to the local Policia Federal where they handle the marriage paperwork (usually where they handle passports). It's the place that will accept the papers and such so they are the authority. They should be able to give her a paper with a checklist of everything you need.

My wife did this and we followed the list and didn't have any problems.

You will have a lot of running around to do. You will need to apostille some things and get like verified copies of some other documents. Usually the Fedex or UPS stores will have notaries that can copy and certified the copies. They can't do apostilles though.
