I actually applied for a PhD program in one of the private university at Sao Jose do Campus supported with a fully funded scholarship.
Documents presented:
1.Visa application form
2. Online form signed
3. Passport page
4. Bank Statement
5. Flight ticket including itinerary
5. Self Letter of introduction
6. Letter of introduction from my University which affirm that I am an academic staff of the University.
7. Accommodation/Hotel reservation.
8. Degree certificates which must be notorized
9. Visa Fees printed
8. Authorization message from the embassy
The last one which is very important was missing and I was told to submit it which is the police character certificate which must be notorized.
NB: My visa was approved for just five working days as at the time I submitted the police character certificate.

The school is for science and technology... I can't find where to apply for português language.
I will appreciate any further clarification from you.

Muito obrigado

Type something like "Curso de portugues como lingua adicional Instituto federal de Sao Paulo". The course is not only available in Sao Paulo though. You can check for the one in the city you live in. Admission usually starts 3 months before the course start date.

I suggest you already start learning Portuguese on an app like DuoLingo before the course begins because the teacher would most likely teach in Portuguese even if they can speak English. However, if you are particular about English, then Sao Paulo has a course called "Portugues como lingua adicional para falantes de ingles."

In my opinion, your initial plan is okay especially if you are not ready to get pregnant yet. Most westerners who want to stay longer in Brazil do this. Study visa gives you Temporary Resident Permit and you can bring your family. While on this permit you can get pregnant, have a baby and eventually change to Permanent residency.
Duration of your temporary permit depends on the duration of your course. A lot of people opt for Portuguese schools and it’s usually 1 year, if you’re going for masters, it may be up to 3 years.
Regarding Jobs, you’ll need to speak Portuguese to get a good paying job except you can get a remote job from the UK, US etc. You can also decide to teach English. If you study portugese for a year, you may be able to achieve the first option.
If you’re a business person, the market is there if you find a good product.

If you consider distance, I would say your family should apply for tourist visa as well so you can all be together here, once you convert to a permit, they can convert as well. If you plan well, the cost isn’t much compared to other countries and you can DIY.

I’m here with my family, we are doing fine but it’s really God’s Grace and I still have plans to Japa. If you don’t mind the language barrier, Brazil is a good country and the economy is growing stronger.

I don’t know if I answered your questions well but if you have any doubt, feel free to contact me and I can explain better.

Please, for someone heading to Ecuador, and planning to pass through Brazil, is a Brazilian transit visa required?

Sent you a DM.

Anniebam:
Good evening everyone. Please treat as urgent. For those who have applied for the Brazil visa for kids, please where did you get the parental authorization form? Also, I need recommendation on health insurance companies.

TadeDetule:
You do not need health insurance as advised. I do not know the first question

koreanlord:
Hello Guys

I submitted the hardcopy documents since last week...

After submitting the receipt of the visa fees payment, I was told to return to my destination with my intl passport.. I.e only the photocopy of the passport and the original of the other documents were received

Abeg oooo....Na so e day be?

peppo4live:


Congratulations

icu4:


Same thing happened to me few weeks ago. They returned the intl passport and only kept some documents. I dont know if it is their new procedure or it means automatic rejection. My online tracking is still showing 'under review'.

icu4:
Hello, greetings house.

The recent update now is that the brazil embassy doesnt keep your passport anymore after interview, they return it back to you immediately.

Can anyone who has done the interview recently share their experience please.

untamedd:


After interview or after submission?

If they give you back your passport without a visa on it after interview, isn’t that refusal?

koreanlord:
Na automatic rejection be that....lol...

With that their nonsense format, My application was rejected.....same with two of my friends

My passport was returned on the day I went for physical submission...

Is your wife showing already?

icu4:


No shes not and we submitted separately. The guy barely looked at the documents, he just took the bank statement, employment letter and returned the passport and kept the photocopy. the whole thing is just surprising because previously they take 1month plus to make a decision now its 5 mins. did you get a rejection mail or did your online tracking changed.

koreanlord:
i got the rejection mail at a later date... You might be lucky to get it bro...Just wait for their Email

Hedgefunds:


What was the reason for rejection...do you intend to try again..

Congratulations

Thank you, I thought health insurance is one of the documents required for adults.
Second question, one of the documents required for minors is a notarized parental authorization form, I saw some online but wanted to reconfirm from someone who has applied before, where do I get the correct authorization form?
