Finding a job in Brazil during the pandemic

The Economy is really,really,really Bad..

On the Global Stage..

SA Stage Good

Brasil is a Nationalist Country..The Only way to Employment is

1.A Job/Position "No Brasilian Can Do"

2. Speak Portugese Fluently,

3 .Job/Position  with a International Entity.

4 . Start your Own Business..

This is to the Best of My Knowledge..

#4 Best Option.. Start Own Businesd

"Braslians Come First Regarding All Things Brasil..Employment,Benefits etc

This has been the Policy and Hiring Practice before the "Pandemic,"

I have decided to start my own "Consulting Company"

Hey Grizz welcome back 

Yes it is hard for foreigners to find work here in Beazil. I have been lucky in that when I came here in 2003, there was a company within my wifes family that were looking for someone like me. Command of the English language, fluent in Portuguese and with knowledge and experience of developing, managing and maintaining Quality Management Systems  I am still working on a consulting basis, freelance, with the same company although the company are really struggling to survive right now. But I am thinking of working for myself in another area like translation services for example. But setting up your own business here is the best option today for sure.

I Retired..Spurs Up..Saddle Hung, Glock in the lockbox.. Wife Happy..Yippykiyeaa.

A happy wife is happy ?????

I want to move to Brazil but have some questions.
I will be running my own business
1. Am into leather craft,and heard Brazilian leather is top notch. So I make shoes, bags, belts and all forms of leather accessories.
1. Will I be able to maintain my global customers? How easy is shipping from Brazil to the rest of the world?
2. Is there DHL or FedEx functional in Brazil, because I will like to use FedEx for my delivery.
3. How efficient is it and how many days will it take to ship to Europe and US, Asia?
4. What is the tax system like for a global shipping?
5. Will I be able to run my online store on English based in Brazil.

Will sincerely appreciate comments from people that know much about the e-commerce process.

Check Exporting from Brazil,FedEx is here and DHL... delivery is slow by both companies, documents and pricing is key...look at shippers, Amazon, alababa,wish as models..good luck...I find good shoes are hard to come by in Brazil...many fake...the leather you should order some sample leather...good luck...just information...most foreiigners must start there own business..

Augustine,

Immigrating to Brazil illegally -- which is pretty much the only way for anyone without a family connection to the country or an existing relationship with a Brazilian employer -- is not a good idea.  Without legal residency you will not be able to work legally or to set up a legal business, and everything you need to have a normal life, like a place to live, or the fast, reliable Internet service you would need for your business will be very hard and, since it will all have to be outside the legal framework, will expose you to exploitation.

This country speaks only one language, Portuguese.  Without a basic ability to communicate in that language, daily life becomes an obstacle course.  You cannot function here in English only.

People never seem to realize how far away Brazil is from, well, practically everywhere else.  Whether your target market is Europe, Asia, or North America, you're closer to all of them right now than you would be in Brazil.   Brazilian taxes are high, business rules are complicated and all in Portuguese, and there's no way to run an export business under the radar.  Shipping costs are high, and shipping times are long -- weeks, not days.

The Brazilian leather industry, like similar industries everywhere else, has been decimated by cheap competition from Asia.  The artisanal leather industry holds on in the Northeastern region of the country.  That's probably where you'd look for the best raw material and perhaps to live, but it's a poorer region, with less communications and shipping infrastructure, and competition will be fierce.

Here we have only recovered 35% of employment from pre-Covid.
So many still need assistance for shelter, food, and basic items.
