Amazing video and super helpful. The biggest question I have is the Taxes situation. because if you stay more then 180 days or so in Brazil you become a tax resident. Do you know how enforced this is or how are you handling it? Just curious as I want to get the nomad visa but that puts me off a bit. Great video though man
Glad the video was helpful! I have yet to find clear information on the tax thing, but my understanding is that individuals are considered tax residents when they have a permanent visa. Since the DNV is a temporary visa, I'm hoping we are exempt from this. Once I figure it out, I'll get back to you via a new video 😉
Que lugares mais lindos...É Palmas 👏 Tocantins Brasil ❤
Concordo! Obrigado por assistir😊
No se porque siempre pasan lo mismo de siempre en cada vídeo de cali sin dar a conocer su verdadera hermosura.
Gracias por la vista y el comentario😊
Fumacinha looked dope 😢
It was pretty cool. It's not going anywhere anytime soon, so you got time to go see it😉
Qual é a parte da Chapada Diamantina mais bonita? What's the most beautiful part of Chapada Diamantina?
Quero muito voltar e poder aproveitar esse lugar com calma. Minha passagem por aí foi rápida demais 😢
É um lugar que pode passar muito tempo e ainda não descobrir tudo 😆
Você alguma vez perdeu uma camera antes de pegar as fotos/vídeos? Have you ever lost a camera before getting the photos/videos off?
Great video! Where did you learn Portuguese?
Thanks for watching! I have been learning while traveling around Brazil. I took 3 months of classes in São Paulo at this institution kzread.info/dash/bejne/daWixtaoidi2k7g.htmlsi=o2dB2ie6eZSqbwlE
Thanks a lot Worked for me But they asked me for flight tickets in and out of Brasil and my current address in Brasil
Thanks for sharing! Glad it worked🤩

Obrigado por ter assistido!
obrigada pela oportunidade de participar!! foi muito legal ser parte do video!
Tenha cuidado com essas portas dos Ubers🤣
maravilhoso!
Sim, é uma cidade muito bonita🤠
😍😍😍
Obrigado pela vista🥰
Beautiful video, love 💕 the concept, good job 👍
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it🤝
You said that you only showed a screenshot of when you're planning to travel to Brasil without actually buying the tickets, so my question is once you got your visa approved did you book a hotel room for a couple days and then moved to an apartment? Or how does that work? Because it's obviously more expensive if you stay at a hotel right? But not sure how difficult it is to rent an apartment if you're not a resident yet, maybe after you got your visa it's easy to rent an apartment?
I did not book a hotel. I have only been moving from hostel to hostel as I travel around the country. I haven't actually rented an apartment, but I know of others who have rented an apartment without a residence card.
Thank you so much for the video! This was the most thorough and easy to understand explanation of the process 🙌🏾 quick question: how far in advance should I start the process from the date I want to move to Brazil?
Glad the video was helpful🤝 I would recommend starting one month before you want to arrive in Brazil. The process may be quicker or slower, but one month seems to be the average, based on what I've heard from others.
Thank you!
O homem brasileiro tem dois grandes amores na vida, o futebol e o seu carro. hahahahahahah!
Kkk minhas amigas brasileiras concordam com isso🤣
@soniafranco9101 há 0 segundo Esse rapaz aí do lado, é filho de brasileiro
Nossa, como você sabe?
Thanks!
You make it real. For people who speak different languages, Chinese is very hard since there are so many simple words used in combination. Your explanation is very useful. Thank you.
Mandarin Chinese is easily the most difficult thing I've learned 🤓 I'm glad my video is helpful!
Thanks! What's the duration of this VISA?
Last I checked, it is a one-year visa, extendable to two years.
Hey, Tim. I don't know IF you were in the theater. The Ouro preto's orquestra is fantastic
I did not have the pleasure of going to the theater while I was there. But, thank you, because now I have yet another reason to go back😁
La música esta fuera de contexto, si quieres una cumbia, coloque a la señora Palacios, 100%chilena.
Gracias por la recomendación, y me gustaría poner esa música pero no es gratis🫤
Grande Nina!
Sim, ela foi muito massa😄
obrigada amiga ❤
@@TheTMax obrigadaaaa
😮😮
Haha
Marcello!! Bring this axé from Bahia to NZ!! BBMP!
And take me with you, too, Marcello🤠
Are you a Brazilian living in NZ?
Genial❤ felicitaciones, me encantó. Lo comparto
Era un placer tenerte en el video🤩
Tem uma pergunta para os participantes? Do you have any questions for the participants?
Do you know any affordable apartments i want to stay at least 6 months and go back to the states and work and come back another 6
It depends on where you're planning to live. I know some people that have found good deals on Airbnb, others through word of mouth, and then there's always google searches. Surely you'll be able to find something😉
Was your health insurance paid per month, or did you have to pay it all up front?
I paid the annual premium up front. They do have a monthly option, but it ends up being more expensive in the end.
I paid for health insurance through SafetyWing during my entire stay, the consulate only asks for printed the paper (date of arrival > date of return). After getting my visa approved, what I did is just cancelled when I passed immigration in Brazil. SafetyWing will give you a refund for the remaining days the moment you cancel the membership, so I basically paid $0. Brazil is a country that has universal healthcare (SUS) either way, which applies to all foreigners as well.
I've walked the Camino de Santiago three times starting in Pamplona. Always amazed by the unique apartment building just across the street from the Cuidela de Pamplona. Ave. del Ejercito and Ave. de Pio XII.
Wow, that's quite a feat! I lived in Pamplona for 3 years, I left for 5 years, and when I returned I remembered how beautiful the city is😊
Visitei foz em abril. Amei. Meu sonho é morar la Parabéns pelo vídeo ❤❤
Muito obrigado! Concordo que seria um bom lugar para morar😉
Goiânia tem 90 anos e esta se tornando umas das capitais mais linda e majestosa do Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻
Obrigado pelo comentário!
Imagens espetaculares da grande Goiânia, espero que o novo projeto da prefeitura de Goiânia, faça a diferença no centro da cidade que possa atrair as pessoas.
Valeu pela vista! Acho que a praça com a prefeitura vai ficar muito bonita logo 😊
Qual é a maior praça que você visitou? What is the largest public square you've visited?
Paradise
What did you like about Palmas?
Wow !
Thanks for watching!
Você é maior do estado do Tocantins? Are you older than the state of Tocantins?
I just did my digital nomad visa and I had to personally travel to the Brazilian embassy in Orlando to do the interview.
Wow, I didn't even know there was one in Orlando, I thought it was in Miami for the region 😅 I didn't have to do an interview. Was the rest of your process the same as mine?
Great video, congrats! Which drone have you used for this video?
Thank you! In this video I flew a DJI Mavic Air 2, with no ND filter, settings on auto🧑✈️
Vendo esse video depois da cheia na cidade. Um lugar muito bonito, espero que eles se recuperem e eu possa conhecer também.
Sim, acabei de ver a cidade agora pelas notícias e não é que tinha o prazer conhecer😨
@@TheTMax tá muito feia a situação lá
Tô chocada com tantos gringos falando português haha
Estamos em todas partes🤓
@@TheTMax isso é verdade, eu só não esperava que falassem português hahaha
What's the farthest interior in Brazil that you've been? Você foi até onde no interior do Brasil?
Hey - what is the best place to get an apartment in Brazil?- also what’s the best way to learn the language?
Hi👋 To learn Portuguese, I found it best to take classes upon arriving, that way I can use what I learned in class, at the grocery on the way home. Immersion has been my best friend🤓 As for apartments, I'm not sure, as I've never rented one. What some others I know have done is to find an AirBnB they like, stay for a week, and if it suits their needs, negotiate a longer contract with the owner.
What's the capital of your country? O que é o capital do seu país?
There are at least 3 different theories for the name of Fragrant Hill: 1. The peak of the hill looks like an incense burner which is of course for the purpose of burning incense. 2. In early spring the hill has abundance of blooming apricot trees. 3. The name came from Buddhist scripture as there are several famous temples in and around the hill.
Thanks for the explanation! I only went during late autumn so I never got to "smell" the blooming trees. I also hadn't heard of the other two theories, very interesting 🤓
Tan maltratado este hermoso pueblo o ciudadela, no así Magallanes que cuidan su casco Antiguo es más, que hace Magallanes que los porteños no hacen…..,
Gracias por la vista y el comentario
La música es absurda, Viña NO tiene nada que ver con el Caribe. Sería como poner música brasileña en Polonia. Las imágenes son muy bonitas, pero cambia la música, por favor.
Gracias por el comentario! Tienes alguna musica en mente, como referencia?
Jazz, música de piano, Viña tiene colores que van desde el azul marino hasta un amarillo grisáceo. Colores que además del piano, son propios del violonchelo, la viola da gamba y el saxo .
Crazy how they built that stadium with no big teams in brasilia
Oh wow, I didn't know that! 😅
What is the coolest country capital you've visited? Qual é o capital de pais mais legal que você visitou?
