List of US companies implemented in Rio and Sao Paulo? by ladel

Hi everyone! Boa tarde! Would you know where I could find a list of American, French, British companies implemented in Brazil, more precisely in Rio and Sao Paulo? ... or if you just knew the names of a few foreign companies implemented in these ...

malloryelise

Make sure you learn Portuguese during your job search. Unless you are transferring from within a company you already work for, you will have a tough time getting a job (even at an US company) if you don't speak portuguese. Brazilians in the business ... Read More

Hello to All: My name is James and I just joined this blog. Can anyone advise me as to specific stores in Rio where one can purchase blank Sony CDs (CD-R or CD-RW) for recording music. A friend who lives outside of Rio tells me that he can never ...

I am writing from england, and we are thinking of moving to brazil, my husband works for an investment bank who are opening offices in Sao Paolo, and is being encouraged to move there. I am quite unsure as I have been told that it is a dangerous ...

malloryelise

Hi Marie! so Sao Paulo is undoubtedly a dangerous city, but almost all cities are dangerous to an extent. SP is intimidating, large, dirty, noisy and has terrible traffic. But it has a charm too. For people of means (as you will be relocating on the ... Read More

Hi guys, im keen to find out if there are any websites or recruiters who gave jobs for english speaking professional in Rio. I am an irish female, late 20s with 10 years experience in all areas or the hotel, bar, nightclub and restaurant trade at a ...

malloryelise

Hi bluebird, i think it would be best for you to visit Rio as a traveler and look for a job then. You might get to Rio and realize it's not what it seems like in the movies! but if you already know Rio, then that's better because perhaps you have a ... Read More

Marriage by jreid0

Hello, I have been living in Sao Paulo and me and my Brazilian girlfriend are finally getting married :). I'm an American citizen, my big question what I can't find on any consulate website is what is the adress where I need to send my birth ...

malloryelise

Hi Jon! The reason the consulate has no information is that they don't deal with it, it's a Brazilian problem. You have to send it to the US. believe it or not, the Brazilian consulate servicing your area (old area) of residence is supposed to stamp ... Read More

malloryelise

You better enter brazil as a tourist and then get married. Im sorry to tell you this, but there is no way you can have a "girlfriend" visa. Just as it does not exist in France or in the US, it does not exist in Brazil either. the visa you refer to ... Read More
