But asking a native brazilian "What do you need in order to receive your pension in Brazil"?, poses a much harder question. OK, these are different things but let me tell you this: I and circa 7 thousand more gave our blood to Varig Airlines, in my case for 30 years. Now that I´m retired, my nearly defunct pension fund pays me just 8%!!!! of my normal pension. Reading your article made me wonder that even with all the paperwork countries like Brazil are so addicted to, I´d rather be an alien trying to bring my lifeline income into Brazil. Ironical but true. Yor article helps foreigners, mostly americans, to walk the bureaucratic pathways in order to receive pensions in Brazil.
