Marrying fiance in Brazil, how long 4 work permit?

Post new topic

Simple question how long would the process take (after marriage) until I could receive a work permit? I'm sure this has been asked before why I'm keeping this simple.

You can actually apply for your Carteira de Trabalho (Work book) on the same day that you receive your Protocolo from Policia Federal. 

Normally the carteira de trabalho is ready within 4 to 7 days from the date you apply for it.

Someone old me it could take over a year after I get married. So it's not that complicated? Thank you.

Whoever said that it can take a year either doesn’t know anything or is giving you outdated info :)

If you have any more questions please feel free to ask us at anytime

Best of luck
