BRAZILIAN INVESTMENT VISA: NEW CHANGES

BRAZILIAN INVESTMENT VISA: NEW CHANGES

This week we have received notice that to qualify for a Brazilian INVESTMENT VISA the minimum investment has been increased to the equivalent of R$ 200,000 because of the devalued US dollar if not
already submitted. (this minimum amount has been increased from R$150,000).

This means that the minimum investment at the current rate of exchange (US$ 1.00 = R$ 1.70 12/26/2010) is US$ 117,647.00. Will vary according to the rate of exchange at time of investment.

The same requirements for employment of Brazilian nationals (10 in a three year period).

Investments must be transferred by the Central bank to either a new or an existing company account in Brazil. The bank can supply this service once a bank account has been identified.

To qualify, the investment idea must be submitted as a PROJECT signed by an approved 'projetista' and be
approved by the Labor Ministry, and the money transferred to receive the visa.

Some conditions such as the required amount of employees or even the actual investment could possibly be modified if the project is extremely

THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS COMES TO BRAZIL

Dwayne Johnson Joins Vin Diesel in the 'Fast Five' Trailer

by: Matt McDaniel

Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson Universal Pictures It seemed like "The Fast and Furious" movie franchise had run out of gas, but then 2009's "Fast & Furious" was a surprise hit, becoming the highest-grossing film of the series with a gross of $359 million worldwide.

Since bringing Vin Diesel and Paul Walker from the original worked so well for the fourth movie, it was only natural that they'd team up again for the fifth. They're back in the next installment called "Fast Five," and this time, they will be joined by cast members from each of the previous movies.

Rodney Beatin and his wife, (WOW, Rodney Beatin his wife, LOL did anyone else catch that?? LOL) a couple of 60-somethings, divide their time between Columbus, Ohio, a nd Brazil, spending six months a year in each place. One of the reasons for their move was to live in a place with a low cost of living that is easier on their retirement budget.
[See 10 Tips for Retirement Overseas.]

"Living in the United States was becoming expensive for the value of what you get, for the quality of life. So, we began looking elsewhere and considering alternatives," says Beatin. "We found and bought a home in Brazil, near the shore, but we didn't want to move there full-time. We just weren't ready for that dramatic of a change. Mostly, we wanted to find a way to reduce our cost of living."

altBrazil is now a big league player.

Documents and Information on the partners/owners of company/corporation

All types of companies/corporations in Brazil require at least 2 quota holders (owners) which could be 2 individuals or 2 corporations or a combination of these two, either foreign nationals or Brazilian Nationals.

If a foreign corporation will be the shareholder/owner, you will need copies of the following documents, all notarized, legalized and sworn translated:

Fact: The U.S. Debt and Stimulus Is Simply Not Sustainable:
Question: What Happens When Interest Payments Crowd Out Defense and Entitlements?

FreeVideoCoding.com

Niall Ferguson, author of The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World, has been commenting lately that the U.S. government should be hearing alarm bells, given the rising debt and stimulus programs. In contrast, mainstream economists like Paul Krugman have been saying that if the U.S. doesn’t stimulate more quickly and aggressively, it will fall into another depression or deeper downturn. Ferguson’s point of view from looking at history clearly is superior, from our perspective. He notes that most great empires and dominant economies fall rapidly in years or decades, rather than slowly, due to financial stresses from their increasingly over-extended empires.

The Facts Point Towards Insolvency

James Dale Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg also made this argument in The Great Reckoning: How the World Will Change in the Depression of the 1990s (1991). Think about the Soviet Union, which suddenly lost its power after 1989, just after withdrawing from a failed war in Afghanistan. Likewise, Japan went from the strongest up-and-coming economy in the world to, suddenly, a “dead” economy from 1990 on. Japan is now surpassed by China as the number two economy in the world.

How to Free Yourself from 9-5 and Live Anywhere


Quit the Rat Race and Get a Life

Just the other day, a friend of mine finally asked the question that’s probably burning in the minds of most of my friends: “I don’t get it.” she began, “how can you afford to just pick up and travel around for months on end?”  How do you make money and how can I have your lifestyle?”  She works as a postal carrier and dreads every day of it.

“It’s not that I don’t work,” I explained, “it’s just that I only choose to do the type of work that is portable and mobile.  I also look for ways to integrate my travels into money-making ventures which is not as difficult as you think”.

Three Realizations

She was listening intently so I continued, “There are three realizations you have to make to achieve a mobile lifestyle like mine. The first is to realize that real change starts within you and depends entirely on the choices and decisions you make. The second is to limit your work efforts to something that can be done from anywhere.  The third is that while our “developed” economies stagnate, the rest of the world is booming and there are plenty of opportunities outside your home borders.”

Five Best Places to Retire in South America


South America - low cost yet high quality living

South America is such an exceptionally vibrant continent, inhabited by passionate people who live life to the full.  As Lonely Planet puts it: “It’s as though the continent was built for travel.”  If you’re currently exploring your global options in search of the best place to retire, and you’re looking for a place where you can have a low cost yet high quality living, South America is home to a handful of nations that you might like to closely consider.

In recent years many South American countries have experienced significant and sustained economic growth, which has seen at least the quality of infrastructure improve, if not the quality of life for many citizens.

ROUSSEFF, BRAZIL'S PRES-ELECT SPEAKS ON CURRENCY WAR / CHINA INVESTS HEAVILY IN BRAZIL

Rousseff speaks on the currency war

November 2, 2010 5:10pm
by Barney Jopson
 

Dilma Rousseff, Brazil’s president-elect, has made her first comments on the “currency war” since winning Sunday’s election. This is the war in which Brazil’s outgoing finance minister told us the world was engaged and Rousseff, broadly speaking, stuck to the policy line he set out.
In separate television interviews, she said that “manipulating” exchange rates cannot resolve anything, that she would not do anything that “created confusion”, and that international organisations such as the G20 should be strong enough to “force certain countries” to value their currencies realistically.
We can only gather from those words that she does not view as problematic the kind of capital controls introduced - and recently tightened - by the government of her mentor, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Continuity is the watchword, but her comments leave plenty of questions unanswered. When she makes her international debut at the G20 meeting in Seoul next week, alongside Lula, she will no doubt deal with some of them.

Now that Ben Bernanke has re-introduced quantitative easing (QE2) to a mostly incredulous world and, across the ocean, the Eurozone has begun unraveling again, our thoughts should turn to the parlous state of the world and the risks ahead.

These are amazing times and seem to grow more so every day. Policy errors are popping up everywhere and are likely to multiply dramatically as the political problems are serious, answers hard to find, and the decision makers are not up to the task. Bernanke has proven that he is more a college professor and less a trader, which will cost the world dearly.

Sometime between June and August Bernanke lost his stomach for the “exit strategy,” probably influenced by

PERMANENT VISAS IN BRAZIL

Permanent Visas in Brazil

By Jose Santiago
Immigration visas to Brazil will be granted only to applicants who satisfy special requirements established by the Brazilian National Immigration Council or the Ministry of Labor. In principle, there are seven cases in which a foreigner can obtain a permanent residence visa in Brazil:

1. The administrator, manager or director of a professional or business corporation
This category is designed to cover inter-company transfers. Thus, the applicant must already be employed outside of Brazil by the parent company or by an affiliate or subsidiary of the company that proposes to employ him inside Brazil. However, there is no minimum time for that previous employment. Necessary documents for the first step will include:





  • Proof that the applicant is employed outside Brazil by the parent company, or an affiliate or subsidiary of the Brazilian hiring company;
  • WHY BRAZIL?

    The Future of Latin America: Opportunities and Challenges for U.S. Policy in the Hemisphere

    Today, I spoke to the students, faculty, and staff from Central Connecticut State University, including members of their Latin American Association and the Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Center. I laid out my vision for the future of U.S -- Latin America relations, calling for a fundamental shift in the United States' Latin American policy to reflect the region's changing economy and evolving democracy.

    The Future of Latin America: Opportunities and Challenges for U.S. Policy in the Hemisphere:


    I've been a Senator for a long time--but I've been passionate about Latin America for an even longer time.
    In 1966, I arrived in the rural village of Moncion in the Dominican Republic as a volunteer for the Peace Corps. Today, nearly half a century later, I'm the chairman of the Senate subcommittee responsible for Latin American policy.


    In between, I've had the privilege to take part in the implementation of the Guatemala City accord, lead the US-Mexico Senate Interparliamentary Group, and work to bring Latin American issues to the forefront of our foreign policy agenda.

    And, in that time, Latin America has undergone remarkable change--much of it positive.
    In a part of the world long defined by violent political instability and crushing poverty, we are seeing the development of a new middle class, the consolidation of democracy, the propagation of effective fiscal and social policies, and the rise of new global powers.

    RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Sunday has been the day of victory for Dilma Rousseff, who is elected Brazil’s next president to succeedLuiz Inácio Lula da Silva, after beating her rival José Serra by over ten points in the run-off round of the presidential elections.

    Dilma Rousseff, who is elected Brazil's first female president this Sunday, cast her vote in Porte Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul before flying to Brasília, photo by Wilson Dias/ABr.

    After failing to secure the absolute majority of the votes in the first round of elections on October 3rd, which sent the race to the second round, Lula’s protégée Dilma has secured 56 percent of the votes as opposed to Serra’s 44 percent, and will be Brazil’s first female president when she takes office on January 1st, 2011.

    The number of visitors to the city has been growing at a rate of 7.8 percent each year, and the Ministério do Turismo (Ministry of Tourism) foresees that number increasing by fifteen percent from 2015 to 2016 as a result of the Olympics.

    In a bid to keep up with the increase in demand, the world’s major airlines have been adding new flights, making it now possible to reach Rio de Janeiro from most places without having to do multiple transfers.

    With Rio’s Galeão International Airport increasingly becoming a direct destination and a new hub for Brazil following the lead of São Paulo’s Guarulhos International, the airports are currently forced to handle flights and passengers well above their capacity.

    This has led to airlines having to offer direct flights to other major destinations in Brazil such as Salvador, Recife, Manaus, Brasília, and Fortaleza to reduce the burden on São Paulo and Rio.

    In another attempt to increase direct flights from the United States to Brazil, Delta Air Lines launched the first non-stop flight from Detroit to São Paulo recently, the first flight from Detroit to the Southern Hemisphere. The flight will operate twice weekly before switching to five times a week on December 15th in order to meet the demand for the peak tourist season.

    Want Safety? Head To Brazil

    Emerging market bonds are all the rage thanks to low debt loads and fast growth.


    Fears that Greece's debt crisis would soon spread across Europe gripped markets across the world this week, but even that failed to deter the flow of cash into emerging-markets.

    During a turbulent week in which Standard & Poor's lowered Portugal and Spain's credit ratings and labeled Greece's debt junk, funds that lend to emerging market borrowers received a new $1.22 billion from investors, according to data from fund tracker EPFR Global. That brought this year's haul to a record $12.8 billion, with $5 billion of it raised in April. The most popular destinations: Brazil, Mexico, Russia and Turkey.
