Adjo10 and all good samaritans in brazil. Your input is needed

Was checking for some outlet rentals , and I saw this price R$507 per month which is around 40k naira per month , but on clicking on contact free , was redirected to booking . Com website. And the price tag on booking .com was actually way way above the price tag there , almost. Around 200k naira sef . Why the discrepancies ma.


The second picture is the price tag I saw when I was redirected to booking.com

Need more explanation . Thanks. And again. Which is preferable in terms of accomodations considering the preferred destination location is to be in ville. Should one just come in first with a week accommodation and then start checking up on real ones once one lands there . And again. The price u saw in the first picture , Is it still feasible to get an apartment of such price tag in ville . Thanks.

Which state in Brazil are you looking at? (I don’t know where Ville is). I can only talk about São Paulo and accommodation in São Paulo is not easy to get. Most require long term contract and some other documents you may not have as a tourist so your best bet would be Airbnb. An alternative would be if you can get someone in Brazil who is willing to get a place for you or “vouch” for you directly to a landlord.
You might be able to find somewhere for that price on airbnb depending on location and how conducive the place is.
It’s also possible for you to look around when you get there but language might be a barrier except you speak Portuguese.

Financial Management while giving birth in Brazil

Hello guys. I just taught of something very important and would like to share.

Please do not exchange your money into dollars in Nigeria with the aim of exchanging hard currency while in Brazil. Do not take physical Niara either. This is because the Brazilian government charges a 10% fee on all physical currencies exchange. This basically means that you will be losing 10% of your entire money.

Instead, get a bank card from your bank and have all your money in there. Also, almost everyone (even the coconut seller on the street) accepts credit or debit card in Brazil. Your can pay for goods and services this way including your medical bills. This way you avoid the 10% charge on hard currency exchange. (Of course you may pay bank charges from your bank) but much better than the 10% tax. I was a victim of this and don’t want you to be one. Cheers

Location is joinville. And the long term contract- Is it like paying for a year rent or more.

2ndly about Airbnb , Would one be eligible to get the CPF number through such route cos I read one will need that number during application of childbirth registeration for citizenship .

3rdly , Staying in the hotel for more than a week won't be feasible cos it's highly costly ,check some price online which is a bit high.

Lastly , Those apartment I screenshot above , Is it that we won't be eligible to stay there even if the money ain't a problem at all cos we are tourist without documents or what. Need more enlightenment . Thanks.

Does this law still applies ? And how are you coping with the Nigeria restrictions of 100$/ month thingy , Just be curious abeg. Make person no go make mistake enter finish , To withdraw money no go turn super story .

Ajokeomo:
Oh Okay. The cost of the apartment you screenshot might be reasonable for a comfortable apartment then since it’s Joinville. I know the contracts are mostly up to 30 months but you might be lucky to get one for 12 months, it’s not impossible.

Regarding CPF, you would be eligible to apply for CPF. You’ll use your airbnb address for your CPF application or any other application you might want to do. You need CPF for almost everything.

You’ll definitely be eligible to stay in the apartment you screenshot since it’s already available for you to book as a foreigner. I was only concerned about the price and if it’s conducive if it were in São Paulo but since it’s Joinville, it might be. You can ignore my previous post since you won’t be in SP. As for the cost discrepancy, I don’t know what’s happened.
Again, you don’t need any special documents (asides CPF) for short term stays but if it’s long term, documents and contracts are mostly are required.

Get GTB Dollar Card, the limit is higher. There are also BDC guys you’ll give Naira (not physical cash) and will give you reas, I don’t know if they are in Joinville o.

Congrats.

How's life in Itaquera? If you've been to Centro, SP or Centro, Guarulhos, how does Itaquera compare to both places?
My first stop was Guarulhos stayed in an hotel for 3 days then I moved to Indianapolis,moema to stay in an air b n b for 10days with my family before I got an apartment at itaquera, itaquera is a nice and quiet place although it’s not Behind like moema where the nouveau rich stay but it’s safe , centro is like the hustling place
