@rraypo then you misread what I wrote. I said you can buy a car but you can’t transfer the title to your name without being a resident. this is not a contest of who right and who is wrong. You seem to be pushing that idea. I have read your ... Read More

Just like opening a bank account , you will need to provide proof of residence (CRNM). Your friend can sell you the car. I believe you can even register the sale with Cartório but the real hurdle will be with DETRAN. They will ask for ... Read More
Different "happiness" of people in different countries by nz7521137
Has someone noticed that people in different countries seem to be more or less happy, often independent from their economical situation? I am traveling a few times a year between Portugal and Hungary and I notice that people seem to be less happy in ...
