Hi nisho138346,

Welcome to Expat.com :)

I have created a separated topic with your post on the Brazil forum in order to give it more visibility and for a better interaction with the other members.

It would be nice if you can tell us more about yourself. Why have you chosen Brazil as destination? What qualifications do you have please?

In order to work in Brazil, i think that you need a work visa.Therefore,  i will advise you to get in touch with the Brazil Embassy in Cyprus.

To know more about Brazil itself, i  also encourage you to browse through the existing topics on the forum.

Wish you good luck,

Priscilla  :cheers:

It is extremely difficult for foreigners to find work in Brazil unless they are graduated with a degree in one of the STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields or have years of experience in a profession that is in demand in Brazil. Even then you're up against laws that require all employers to prove that they have exhausted all efforts to place a qualified Brazilian in any job vacancy before they can hire a foreigner to fill it.

You will also need to speak Portuguese quite well, it is essential here.

Well if you're in Brazil you must have either a VITEM-V Work Visa, which requires that you already have been offered a work contract with a Brazilian company or you must have a VIPER Permanent Visa in order to obtain a work permit (Carteira de Trabalho e Previdência Social - CTPS) and you also need a CPF Number (Cadastro de Pessoas Fisicas) which is one's tax number like a Social Security Number.

Regarding finding work, it is still very difficult for anyone except skilled professionals because of laws here which demand placing Brazilians in job vacancies.
