Here is a typical proof of residence document. Note, it states, "reside em imóvel de minha propriedade", tranlsated, "I live in the house/apartment of my property". It also states, "Por ser verdade, dato e assino o presente documento, declarando estar ciente de que responderei criminalmente em...

I didn't say it wasn't possible, I said it was NOT policy.

You've already shown here that you have twisted and torted your words and even gone so far to say that a phrase that you stated means the opposite when referring to Brazil! And no, I'm not a lawyer, but we had a total of 3 working for us and I still do have 2 and am VERY familiar with the law...

Thanks JM, I was hoping someone would come in here and confirm the reality on the ground. It's certainly not a "straight forward" process, wouldn't you agree? Also, would you say that getting planning permissions and everything that entails is a "straight forward" process? I don't know why I...

What in the world does spelling mistakes have to do with the price of tea in china?:dontknow: A declaration of residence DG means that one has a RESIDENCE in Brazil. That means he is a homeowner or renter. And if you understood portuguese and read the document you would see that it states...

Refer to post #51. And one good thing about internet forums is that everything is in writing and it's all here for everyone to see. It's easy to see who's either been 1.) dishonest or 2.) not familiar with the reality on the ground here. And everyone knows that "straightforward" means...

You better alert dictionary.com straight·for·ward (strāt-fôr'wərd) adj. 2. 2. Free from ambiguity or pretense; plain and open. adv. In a direct course or an honest manner. First, if one is a dual national that means he is Brazilian, hence they have no...

Quite a difference in Mr.Vibe saying that it's "not impossible" and you saying that if one has a "link" with a brazilian national then it's "straight forward". And now you're trying to say that "straight forward" means something different in brazil than the rest of the world?? And that we...

Refer to post #44. I could simply cut and paste your boldened post above in response. :laugh:

Buddy, we've accepted that 2 years ago. We're moving on, believe me. This property of ours has just been sold although I'll still be living in it until at least november. Invest Safely in Brazil With MJR And now we've only got our beachfront land to go. And you're spot-on about one thing...

Maybe you should read yours a little more thoroughly.... :stoned:

It doesn't appear that anything is in the works brackenhoe. Once again, these new regulations were just put in place 3 years ago in an attempt to curb money laundering. Last year they did make an exception that if someone is working for a company here than he can show his "Carteira de Trabalho...

And that IS the reality DGM. Once again, you obviously haven't realized that what you accomplished is the EXCEPTION. From your posts you have said that it's possible....because YOU opened an account. Well, it may be possible, but it is NOT the policy of banks in Brazil to open accounts without...

This is the last time I'll repond to you DGM about this since it's obvious for us all here that are reading our written posts that you've attempted to make generalizations concerning your particular situation which is NOT the norm here in brazil. The policy of banks today in Brazil are to not...

Yes, of course they realize it. And if you spend enough time here you will learn that Brazil is not serious when it comes to attracting foreign investment. Any talk of doing such is only lip service. Lula promised to reduce beaurocracy here and make it easier for foreigners to invest......he's...

He obviously doesn't get it Deb. Once again, the problem is misinformation. Just because he got an account opened doesn't mean that Brazil opens accounts for foreigners without an RNE number. You know it, I know it, and any foreigner that has came here and tried in the last 3 years knows it...

DGM, there's no "sour grapes" here my friend, it's a known reality. Ask JM or anyone else here that has intimate knowledge of the banking system here. I've been living here for one decade and have worked closely over the last 5 1/2 years with foreigners investing here. I have an account...

Didn't you say that you got your account because of a brazilian relative? That is possible BUT the brazilian is the principal on the account and you are like a dependant. I had one of those the first couple years I was here, my brazilian ex-wife was the principal on the account. After I got...

Welcome to Brazil!:sleep:

Thanks JM, but to be honest, we don't feel too bad. We're not amongst the minority in this area. We've made money on the beachfront land, but naturally that profit is offset by all the other expenses we had in pursuing the project. Brazil is just incredibly difficult to do business in as stated...
