@abthree I'm looking to start this process soon, but I'm curious about the difference between Code - 285/286, Code 285 and Code 286. I want to move from a digital nomad visa, so would I go straight to Code 286? Admittedly, I haven't looked at the ... Read More

    @leashy_kateYou say that you have been in and out of Brazil for work purposes, yet you have a Digital Nomad visa? If I were an immigration officer that would be a red flag for me to start with.... if that is what you are telling ... Read More

I’m glad you’ve had trips where you didn’t lose your instrument, that’s great. Commenting whether or not these things have happened wasn’t my intention. My experience working with musicians had led me to have concerns ... Read More
