Dear all,
My wife, ours 2 minors children and I  arrived in Brazil on a tourist visa. My wife just gave birth to a small Brazilian girl in Florianopolis. I would like to know if my wife and I can apply for permanent residency in Brazil without leaving  the country? We came to Brazil with our first two children born outside Brazil. Do these children will also benefit from brazilian permanent residency? If yes, can we request permanent residency for them without leaving the country? Thank's in advance for the replies.
Regards

That is a very good question ?
Where are you from, the UK  ?
I am sure the Expat director James will have the answers for you.
IF it was the US, yes your newborn would be a US citizen, as it is in many other European countries.
I know that Italy requires ONE parent of Italian decent in order for the child to be Italian.
Good luck !
Guy

As the parents of a child born in Brazil, and thus automatically a Brazilian citizen, you have the right to request "Permanência Definitiva com base em prole brasileiro". In fact, you are considered as "inexpulsável" and regardless of your current visa situation you cannot be requested to leave the country and the Federal Police are required to accept your application even in cases where your tourist visa may even be expired. Art. 226 of the Constitution guarantees special protection of the family unit.

That said, while there is no specific mention about the Brazilian born child's siblings in anything I have seen so far, the fact that they are still minors your right to permanency in theory carries over to them too. Certainly under no circumstances would they be asked to leave the country. Breaking up the family would violate Art. 226. So don't worry about that at all.

What you need to do is simply go to the Federal Police, with the child's Birth Certificate in hand and speak to someone there. Tell him/her that you intend to apply for permanency based on having a Brazilian child, and ask them exactly how to proceed with applications for your other two children.

My personal thoughts are that if you simply filled out the online application forms for your wife, yourself and two children and showed up at the Federal Police on the date scheduled, with all the required documents and GRUs paid, they'd process it all as if it were any other application. What other choice do they really have anyway???

Oh yes, one very very important thing....

When you go to speak to somebody at the Federal Police, make sure that you are talking to a Federal Police Agent and not just some civilian (contracted) employee. The civilian staff don't have the first clue about what they're doing, let alone the complex laws and regulations that the immigrations process involves. You'll be wasting your time and effort if you don't talk to somebody who is wearing a shiny gold badge around his neck or clipped to his belt!!!

yes,the other minor children have a right to stay too. You just go to the PF with your passports, passport size pics , your baby , the babys birth certificate (  docs attested by a cartorio ) and bham ! Thats it !
They have even abolished the rule of a home vist. They will give you a protocol which you can use for everything ( requesting cartario de trabalho, opening a bank account, getting CPF , id for ur credit card shopping at stores , etc etc ) .

I am in floripa and have gone through the process. Let me know if I can help :) Best of luck .

Hi Sole5,

I am currently in Brazil and will be coming to Florianopolis.

Are you available there, so I can take your suggestions.

Thanks,

Hi,
How many days it takes to have a permanant residence based on  a baby born in Brazil ? On average
And what if I left brazil without applying to permanant residency , Do I still be eligible to apply next time I visit brazil?  Thank you alot

jland912

If you satisfy all of the requirements and have all of the documents you will be approved immediately for the RNE and you will be issued a protocol. The CIE (card) usually takes about 60 days to arrive. You can probably do it the next time you come also. It will probably  be easier to do it now.

Below are the required documents.

It depends on which city you are in. However expect atleast 40 days till you get your RNE.
If you leave without applying, you can still apply on your next visit but you will need a visa to enter Brazil till you have your RNE. I recommend staying and leaving only after your get your papers. Also you must keep in mind that you will have to visit once in 2 years else you lose the residency.

It seems the processes have changed a bit since I posted the comment about children being naturalized. Now they ask for more paperwork and only children under 5 are eligible to naturalize or children over 18. I still am trying to get more i fo on this new turn of events. But as usual, everyone in DPF says something different.

jland912

You will get the RNE right away if you have all the documents and meet all requirements. It will take about 60 days or less to get the CIE. I also would advise to wait until you get the CIE before leaving. If it arrives while you are out of the country it might be sent back to Brasilia.

Hi Jim, James

as said before, am planing to apply for tourist visa and i think maybe i will get for one month only so do you think it will not problematic to overstay and then to have a baby for to apply PR.

Thanks
Barun

Hi there
if you over say, you will be "fined". You will be fined for every "day" you over stay, up-to 100 days, (i think the fine is something like R$9 per-day). and the fine might be R$9 per-person. so bear that in mind

barun.dash786

Hi

Thanks for the info, but for the baby anyhow I will have to stay till period right ? So they will ask me to pay the fine for 10 approx months ? Or any other situation will come up

Appreciate your advise

stanza51

Hi Barun

Please note that the maximum fine they will apply will be for a total of 100 days.  So approximately 800 to 900 reais. 

When you will goto submit the permanency application the Policia Federal officer shall generate a GRU for you to pay the sum of  fines that are due.  Once you do that and return to the same officer, he/she shall accept your application as long as all the documents are complete and will start your CIE process accordingly.

Regards

Stanza

barun.dash786

Thanks stanza, but is it okay to go for this option, I mean there will no risk or any problem. I understand I can't work once my visa expires

Appreciate

spanishpete

i think you might find your unable to work on most visas

stanza51

Hi Barun

As per my understanding you will be arriving here on a tourist visa.  Which wouldn't give you permission to work in any case.  The only challenges which you might face are if you get picked up by  or stop by policia federal for whatever reason in that case they will give you a set amount of days within which you will have to exit the country after paying the fine.

However if you are able to spend the time needed in Brazil to deliver your baby then as stated earlier that will be your clean slate as you would be allowed to pay the overstay fine and get your Permanent Residence processed.

Also please note that since you would be coming on a tourist visa you can apply for a 1 time extension 1 week before the validity of your visa expires

Regards

barun.dash786

Thank you both, stanza many thanks for the detail advise. Will check how to plan but will keep you guys posting.

Thanks

Hello Jim

Do you have patern of the following doc..?

"
Declaration that the offspring live under their care and economic dependence, with a recognized signature "

Your assistance is highly appreciated

stanza51

Hi Ziad

Please note that this declaration is usually printed and given to you by the Policia Federal officer, and they ask you to sign that in front of them and attach it on there records accordingly

Regards

jland912

I believe Stanz is correct.

Jim

You can find a model or format of this declaration on the internet too if you search for it.

I just had a baby here and applied for RNE.

You just in last month. Like in seventh month. After that they will give u extension and there is nonproblem getting it. So it is to stay here legally. Then u dont have to pay fines.

barun.dash786

Hi Mohsin,

Thanks for the info, am planning to move in August but can you help me to know is SP good to stay or Florianopolis as you seems stay in flo. Also is it good decision to move there as am still confused

Thanks for the reply 😊

Barun

mohsinsh66

Actually it depent what are your priorities. There are some benefits and flaws in both cities.

Secondly your are confuse where to come here or not. It again depent for what your are coming.

If you are coming just for passport, it is a nice option.

If you want to stay here and want to have job, then never come here. Very bad for a person who dont have money.

If you want to come here and have money for business, then it is good. This country is good for business not for job.

barun.dash786

Okay got it, thanks for the info. I already have a cloth business here and am planning to shift there and to do the same there by ordering cloths from india. I don't know how it sounds to you. But yes for passpor, yes.

Appreciate your reply 😊

Kindly advice.
I had a baby registered in cartorio in absence of father,  please what documents do I need to get her passport as I need to travel soon as well as my RNE?  Do I need CPF for both application n does my baby need to have her rne before I can apply for her passport?

soie5

No . You just need your CPF or RNE as ID. And you can directly apply for her passport.

soie5

You need her photo 5x6 cm. Headshot.
The payment of GRU for the passport
The online form filled.
The actual baby should be present at the time of application as well as when you pick the passport.
The first step would be to apply for the passport online . Then pay GRU. Then apply for the time to submit the papaers at the nearest Pol. Fed.
Hope that helps.

Nonmso

Thanks for the info,  still on the application...personal datas of my child,  the next page documents shud b mine ( can I use my travel passport as identity,  since I'm still a tourist

austin1986

Hi, I have two American born children. Both have dual citizenship though. Am I still eligible for this process or would they need to be born IN Brazil? They have Brazilian and American passports and birth certificates.

murik81

Dear James and Soie,

You have really good knowledge on the subject...
Can you please help to answer below questions rgrd paperworks thats required after birth of baby to apply for residency.
Me and my family are citizens of Turkmenistan, but we are residents of Turkey and currently living here.
- We have our travel passport which does not have mother and father names on it, but we have internal Turkmen passport that has parent names. But these documents are in Russian language, do we have to get it translated verified/appostilled by Brasilian or our consulate? Or can we just get them translated to Portuguese in Brazil and apply for residency with them? Or can i get it translated here in Turkey and use that?
- Do we have to provide birth certificates? should they be also verified or translation is enough?

I would like to get all paperwork ready beforehand as it is very hard to get them since i live in another country.

Appreciate your soonest reply.

Thanks and regards,
Murad
