Comments on: What do you need in order to receive your pension in Brazil? http://www.latinworld.com/2009/being-prepared-to-receive-your-pension-in-brazil.htm Latin America Information Thu, 22 Sep 2011 10:38:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Andy Neill http://www.latinworld.com/2009/being-prepared-to-receive-your-pension-in-brazil.htm/comment-page-1#comment-109525 Andy Neill Wed, 05 Jan 2011 20:16:05 +0000 http://174.129.247.220/?p=44#comment-109525 This article would be better headed "Retirement Visa Requirements for Brazil!" This is for those who have no other way of obtaining a permanent visa for living in Brazil There ARE other visas but again, there are little details, like marrying a Brazilian, or investing the equivalent of R$200,000 and hiring 10 Brazilians over the next 3 years. But if you HAVE a visa and wish to get your American pensions, then the easiest way is to direct deposit in an American bank account and take the money out in Brazil with a card. Be really careful about the card though and only use it in secure locations, like bank lobbies, because cloning is a serious problem in Brazil...also in the rest of the world but in Brazil particularly!

It is also crime-ridden. One cannot go out even in the daytime and not expect to be robbed. Life is very very expensive in Brazil. Try connecting your electricity or any other work done, takes weeks if not months. I would say Costa Rica offers much much better life style for expats. and the crime is very low.

CARLOS BOLOGNESE Tue, 22 Dec 2009 18:37:16 +0000 http://174.129.247.220/?p=44#comment-3900 Yor article helps foreigners, mostly americans, to walk the bureaucratic pathways in order to receive pensions in Brazil. 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.
