"As I already met several expat women on InterNations online, it was great to meet offline and get to know each other in real life."

The InterNations Expat Guide for working and living in Brazil

Are you an expat working and living in Brazil? Or are you preparing to move soon to Brasilia, São Paulo or any other of the Brazilian international hotspots?

Expat life in Brazil has much to offer and provides a great intercultural experience – from discovering the countryside like the strongly urbanized south-east, learning how Brazilian people celebrate Our Lady Aparecida or Children's Day, up to tasting Brazil’s favorite dishes such as feijoada.

However, InterNations does not only address expats in Brazil. We have brief overview guides for various locations around the world – from living in Ireland to living in Afghanistan.

Working and living in Brazil – Valuable Information from A to Z

Moving to and living in Brazil requires a wealth of up-to-date, trustworthy information on various aspects of Brazilian expat life. Living abroad in Brazil raises a lot of questions such as: ʺHow do I find the best relocation services for moving to Brazil?ʺ, ʺDoes my house need central heating for the winter months?ʺ, ʺWhich international school in Brasilia should our kids attend?ʺ or, ʺHow do I obtain a work permit for my spouse at the Brazilian municipality in Rio de Janeiro?ʺ

Collecting all that information on working and living in Brazil is quite laborious and time-consuming. Our InterNations Expat Guide for Brazil aims to help you and provides you with reliable info on those topics that matter to expats living in Brazil. The Guide includes information on many different areas ranging from housing and household, to administration & finance or food and shopping, up to health-care. Typical questions related to expat life abroad, such as ʺCan I travel from Rio to Sampa by coach?ʺ, will no longer remain unanswered.
