Hello Amy,

Sorry, with a criminal record there is almost no hope that you will ever be able to obtain a Permanent Visa. Why didn't you apply under the Amnesty Program in 2009? You might have gotten lucky there. If you are caught now, you will surely get expelled from the country so you're really going to have to "fly under the radar" and keep a very low profile. If you are still here in 2019 there will likely be another Amnesty Program, they usually have them every ten years here.

The Amnesty for Foreigners of 2009 is over now and it's not certain if there will be another one announced in 2019, but Brazil has had one about every ten years. So, there's a good chance it will be repeated then.

Other than through the Amnesty Program there isn't much hope for you to resolve your situation, especially if you have a criminal record in your past.

Hello Amy,

Since your visa is no longer valid and you are not "legal" in the country you cannot get married. That leaves the only alternative of becoming pregnant and hoping that you can stay in Brazil long enough to have your baby here. If you manage that without first being deported then because of the baby you can apply for permanency based on a Brazilian child.

Amy,

I think it's best if you don't even mention anything about your conviction in Malaysia. it could really hurt your chances of staying in Brazil. You are just better of to apply for a Permanent Visa based on a Brazilian child. The law which applies in your case is below:

ESTATUTO DE ESTRANGEIRO

Decreto/Lei 6815

Art. 75. Não se procederá à expulsão:

I - se implicar extradição inadmitida pela lei brasileira; ou

Il - quando o estrangeiro tiver:

a) cônjuge brasileiro do qual não esteja divorciado ou separado, de fato ou de direito, e desde que o casamento tenha sido celebrado há mais de 5 (cinco) anos; ou

b) filho brasileiro que, comprovadamente, esteja sob sua guarda e dele dependa economicamente.

§ 1º Não constituem impedimento à expulsão a adoção ou reconhecimento de filho brasileiro supervenientes ao fato que motivar.

§ 2º Verificados o abandono do filho, o divórcio ou a separação, de fato ou de direito, a expulsão poderá efetivar-se a qualquer tempo.

TRANSLATION

Article 75. There shall be no expulsion:

I - if it involves extradition not permitted by Brazilian law, or

Il - when the alien has:

a) Brazilian spouse from which he is not divorced or separated, in fact or in law, provided that the marriage has been celebrated for more than five (5) years, or

b) Brazilian child that is proven to be under his care and is economically dependent.

§ 1 shall not constitute an impediment to expulsion if the adoption or recognition of the Brazilian child if expulsion was the supervening and motivating fact.

§ 2 Once verified the abandonment of a child, divorce or separation, in fact or in law, expulsion may be effected at any time.

Dear sir, thank you again for you respone. Thats mean if i get pregnant its will help me to stay in Brazil permanantly.

Thank you

Sorry, I don't know anything about Malaysian law I can't answer your question.

Would it be possible to go to another country, marry there, and return to Brazil?  I am a foreigner married to a Brazilian, and the requirement to submit my criminal record was unnecessary for me.  I actually had fingerprints made and my Federal police record sent to me, but the Brazilian consulate didn't even want to look at it.  Being married to a Brazilian and submitting all necessary paperwork has allowed me to get a permanent visa in Brazil and to work legally.  good luck. -Erik
