Study In Brazil: Admissions And Visa Procedures by untamedd(f): 4:23pm On Oct 12, 2023 |
Hello Everyone! I know there is a thread already about Giving birth in Brazil. On that thread, I have seen many people make inquiries about study without a lot of response. I decided to open a thread dedicated to studying in Brazil. Brazil welcomes International students to study in their country and all public Universities are tuition free even for foreigners. Brazil is also trying to encourage International students to come and study here in Brazil, hence they have set up GCUB which is a body that provides funding (grants) to international students who intend to study in Brazil. The funding is a monthly stipend provided to support students while studying. Without it, you can still study for free. Admission Process Each faculty decides their own admission process so if you’re interested in a particular course, you’ll need to check the faculty website to see when they usually start their admission process as well as requirements. Some faculties require entrance exams, some don’t. If they do, you’ll make arrangements to write the exam in Nigeria. Language Brazil universities are one of the best in the world. Learning language is Portuguese but as an international student, you can request to do your work in English. Depending on your faculty requirements, you may need to write Portuguese proficiency exam or complete a Portuguese course within one year of admission. Most of the Universities website have the option to view their website in English language at the top of the website. If not you can use your browser’s translation tool to translate the website. After Gaining Admission You’ll need to authenticate your documents at the Ministry of foreign affairs and Ministry of Education. You’ll also legalize with the Brazilian embassy in Lagos. You’ll then apply for your study visa. If you have a study grant, you may not need to prove financially capability, otherwise you’ll need to. If you know about this process, please feel free to contribute. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

What if you don’t get a grant? What happens if you don’t get a grant? You can still attend the university for FREE and look for side hustles. I advise you learn some digital skills before leaving naija. Remote Jobs You can get remote jobs from the US or Canada. Common remote jobs are Customer care jobs, Tech Jobs etc. Do a thorough research and learn a useful skill before coming. Driving Uber. You can drive Uber Part time. You won’t necessarily have to buy a car, there are care rentals specifically for Uber here. You’ll need to convert your driver’s license from Nigeria in order to this. This is a good one because you don’t necessarily have to speak to your riders so no language issues. Teaching English Language. There are lots of English teaching jobs which can be done online from your house. |

LANGUAGE BARRIER. Only 5% of Brazilians speak English. Good news is you’ll be in the university environment where most of the 5% are. You can also request to do your work in English. That said, it would be better for you to learn Portuguese. There are so many language schools, both public and private where you can learn Portuguese. You’ll also make Brazilian friends who will help you practice What you can do to learn on your own. Use Language Apps like Duolingo and Drop Watch Brazilian movies; You’ll find them on Netflix.

dealhunter: Where did you get your information from?Please be mind and always be sure of passing out false information so as not to destroyed people plan. Don't say what you don't know please. Brazilian consulate is accepting visa applications not in person or by booking an appointment. You can send your complete visa application through courier in Lagos and include your printout of evidence of payment for your visa fees. |

Steps to Applying for an Admission. Find a School. I provided links to schools above, these are schools in the state of São Paulo. There are schools in other states in Brazil as well. You can do research about schools in Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Rio Grade de Sul etc. Bahia has good concentration of black people so you may feel more at home there. Use your browser’s translation tool to translate websites. Find a Course. Once you find a school, check if they offer your program of choice. You need to find their Selection Process, It’s usually (not always) in PDF format. Download and translate with the tool provided above. Brazilian Universities usually leave little time for application (1-3 weeks). They expect you to have been prepared ahead of time. If the program you are interested in has closed for the year, check the requirements still and get everything ready. Keep checking their website for the next Selection process notice. If you have any need for clarification , email the program office and they will respond. Some courses may require you to reach out to professors in the faculty to supervise you. If you failed to apply for GCUB scholarship for the year, you may still apply directly to the faculty for scholarship and if not so competitive, you may get it. After you apply and gain admission. The school will spell out the necessary steps but from Nigeria, you’ll need to authenticate and legalize your documents. Applying for Visa. Visa Application Process is quite simple, similar to the tourist application process. Documents you’ll typically need are. Educational Documents Admissions Offer Letter/Introduction Letter from School Self Introduction Letter Scholarship Offer Letter/Bank Statement International passport Covid vaccination certificate Birth certificate Bank reference letter Visa Application Form Colored Passport Photo on White Background Flight Reservation Visa Approved Congratulations, What next? Check School requirements for things you need to do. Research Accommodation Join Expat groups on Facebook to see other foreigners experiences Book hotel for a few days to help you give you time to get accommodation Book flight to your destination 3 Likes |
