Hello,
Anyone that could assist, it would be hugely appreciated!
I'm a UK citizen living in Paris with my French girlfriend. She has an opportunity to work in Rio for 2 years. She would have a residence visa, and a work visa (Visto Temporario V) for work entitlement for Brazil for that duration.
As a living partner I also receive the Brazil residence visa for the same duration. I wouldn't though receive a work visa... I have just finished work in Paris, and therefore going to Brazil without work agreed before. Effectively, I can go there and stay for 2 years, but I would like to find work in line with my career. I'm a professional digital marketeer, 15 years in music / entertainment / digital industries, BA and MSc Masters degrees etc.
From research, it seems that once in Brazil, look for work, and if a company can prove I do the job better than any Brazilian, they would have to sponsor me for a Visto Temporario V, or Visto Temporario III? Is that correct, and I'm also guessing, chances are extremely slim.
I've just emailed the Consulate General of Brazil in London for further information, though any additional info from experience would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!!
