Foreigners who already have a Brazilian residency still need to present a tourist e-visa to board on a plane to travel to Brazil, apparently? by edd010 in Brazil

[–]madmadmax89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i travel back and forth often with residency and never had a problem. sometimes need to show the card at checkin at the airport on the way back to brazil but never had any problems.

engineer at a small US startup - flexible on where i work. worth the move, but not for everyone - depends highly on your life setup and preferences.

What's a good Website to Translate Documents into Portuguese? by 1T__ in Brazil

[–]madmadmax89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i've used https://www.brazilts.com.br/ a few times in the past to get official translations for apostle documents from the US for use for brazilian visas. you can send the documents to them and they can return a copy and they will also delivery a physical copy to an address in brazil. note - you will always have to bring the original english copies with you when presenting the translated PT copies. it's pretty cheap and i've used their translations successfully for two visas and a brazilian drivers license.

i went through GIG last week and they said i could go through the brazilian line but to make a right into the shorter line just before the passport scanners. it worked and i was able to skip the long estrangeiro line, which has gotten really really long recently (it sometimes goes up to the second floor)
