MOVING TO BRAZIL - WOULD I RECOMMEND? 

"SUS isn't good" said the Brazilian who never had experience with health care in other countries. My father had cancer, it was very bad and we had the best treatment ever and I say "we" because they offered psychological support from the hospital to the family. His situation it was very critical, his oncologist would stop by his bed time to time just to chat with my dad and make him laugh. It's impossible to put into words how grateful I am to that doctor. The system is great, some doctors can be shitty but not the system. I live in The Netherlands now and here we do not even the option of private doctors and the system I'm facing...

I am leaving the UK to live in Brazil in 4 months with my Brazilian wife, so thank you for this information.

I'm originally from Afghanistan but live in Brazil about two months Brazilian and Brazil is amazing 🤩 Hope to learn as soon as possible the Portuguese 💪💪

I lived in Ireland for 6 years and miss a lot of things from there, it's a beautiful country and the people are very friendly, however, Brazil has a lot of things to offer when it comes to quality of life, especially the weather, the beaches, food, etc :)

I’m from California, worked as a CT tech in a Regional Trauma Center. Me and my wife are in our late 50s. Living in São Paulo. We pay for private Healthcare through Prevent Senior for 1/3 the cost we would pay for an HMO in California, but you don’t get three times better care in the US. I’m impressed with the delivery of care through Prevent Senior. I’m impressed with the facilities. I’m in love with the doctors. Far more empathetic than counterparts in the US. Wait times for routine exams can take 1 or 2 months, but if you plan ahead it’s no big deal. Now I can’t speak for the rest of the country.

Rebecca be careful with the so called "mongrels", Brazilians who love to complain and say terrible things about their own country to foreigners. Don't let them contaminate your mind and feelings. If you ask them, they say everywhere in the world is better to live than Brazil, even Ukraine. Keep a positive attitude and things will work great.

Welcome to Brazil! I'm originally from the UK but moved to SP all the way back in 2015. My wife and I would love to meet up one day and share stories about our time here :)

My wife is Brazilian and I’m American, we have a 10 year old daughter and we have been talking about moving to Brazil, it would be great to hear the pros and cons of living in Brazil as a foreigner and the process you had to go through to get your residence status. Thank you for the videos 👍🇧🇷

Anyone who has to wait months and years for surgery and appointments in Canada's "free" health care system, will appreciate how good and efficient a two-tier system really is...

Welcome to Brazil! I left Canada to come and live here as well. Cheers! 👍

sejam bem vindos ao Brazil !

Hi Rebecca, nice video, and a nice channel you have! I’m Norwegian and moved to Brazil about 18 years ago. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I would like to comment about one thing you said that I don’t really agree on. Moving to Brazil to make serious money is absolutely possible. In fact there are so many possibilities to make serious money in Brazil if you can handle the bureaucracy and make the effort to learn some Portuguese. Also, you need to have some knowledge of business or real estate and a starting capital to invest of course. However, most people, with some cash in hand and some patience to do some research can make a lot of money in Brazil. Anyways, I wish you the best of luck on your channel and of course on your adventures in Brazil!

I am from pakistan and lives in brazil brazilian peoles are very nice and freindly and weather is also very nice .i love minas gerais i think it is just heaven on earth.

I am Brazilian living in Ireland for the past 26 years 😀😃. Please enjoy the fresh food, weather, the health system for me 😘🤗😘. It is a beautiful country. Have you tried pão de queijo? Pastel? Caldo de cana? It would be lovely if you made a vídeo in Portuguese. The Brazilians will love you even more 😂 and lots would follow you. 😉

Brazil, like the US, is huge, many cultures within one country. Living in the Northeast, South and/or Southeast for example can be completely different. I recommend the city of João Pessoa - PB, which is a capital, to try to see if the person will get used to the customs, environment and day-to-day life in Brazil.

SUS is so good that people don't even need to see the doctor if they are in a critical condition, they die waiting for surgery.

As a European living in Brasil ( in a rough city when it comes to robbing you for your money, mobile phone with a gun ….has that happen to me and my wife after a year but we did not give anything to them )…for me I can’t compare: Brasil is all year warm up Northeast which is absolutely amazing weather, the people all over Brasil are super friendly, food healthy and amazing taste, gorgeous country, gasoline €0,90, acomodation way cheaper and higher quality with pool, etc in the condominiums! Schools I do private online and pay $9000 per year for 3 kids because the public are too noisy and rough I heard, so they do activities outside school which is amazing…Brasil is very organized with great health care!! I think if I take out the violence which actually is all over the world all in all, I don’t think for me I could live in a happier, fun place!! The culture overall and people is amazing❤️🇧🇷

Brazil is an amazing place to live, whether a family has children or not. There are, for example, thousands of missionaries from the U.S. who came to Brazil, where they lived in neighborhoods not rich, middle class or even lower social class and I have NEVER heard a report of these missionaries (from U.S.) complaining about something bad that has happened to their children. What can be seen is that many of these children of missionaries, when adults, want to return to Brazil and not lose the connection. On the other hand, it doesn't make sense to "complain" about the sea air in coastal cities in Brazil, as this depends on EACH type of beach, the local climate and care with belongings. It is possible for someone has an apartment/house on the North or South Coast of São Paulo State and they have NEVER had problems with "mold", "rust" or "humidity". This depends only on the care someone has with furniture and objects. In new york, for example, a persistent infestation of bed bugs is known, which drives away many tourists who come into contact with the local pest when traveling there (new york). In addition to places in that city (new york) that you cannot go at certain times of the day and night. It's been a few years now that I've been following news from newspapers, cases that are on TV and North american blogs about violence in the U.S. where there are brutal and violent crimes that happen in small towns as well as in bigger cities in that country (U.S.). It's just that people of so-called "developed" countries economically PREFER to stereotype and label OTHER countries, not the U.S., where (U.S.), let's face it, drug use is the rule, not the exception (what kind of example did these former presidents of the U.S. set the youth there?). In fact, some U.S. presidents admitted that they used drugs in their youth in media interviews and autobiography (I have NEVER knew a president of any Latin American country say something absurd like that!!!). In addition, I've seen here on this digital platform foreign vloggers (tourists) who visit Brazil and praise the Brazilian health system (free and universal, paid for by taxes) when they need hospital care or medication!!! Unfortunately, there are still Brazilians and foreigners who label and stereotype Brazil and some other Latin American countries for one or another bad experience they had, forgetting how rich the country (Brazil) is in LANDSCAPES, MUSIC, CULTURE, FOLKLORE, FOOD , GOOD CITIES, HUMAN RECEPTION, EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, and support from SOCIAL SERVICES, among many other things and positive points - the reality of the world and the horizon of hope has already SHOWED that there are incredible and better countries, really better, than the U.S.!!! There, U.S., as in any other country around the world, there are positive and negative aspects of everyday life...!!! Everyone makes their dream of your own place.

Viva o SUS! ❤ Hope you and your family have a great experience living here!

Interesting 5o hear your view in living in Brazil. Hope you post more videos talking about your experiences. Cheers!

If you want a place here in Brazil with low prices, security and a high HDI, come to the south of Brazil in the state of Santa Catarina, it's a great place to live!

Hey Rebecca, thanks for the video! Would absolutely love an update on visa processes and stuff like that if you have any. I'm a single Irish man with no wife/kids so it may be slightly different but I don't see any other Irish people making the same type of videos!

In 2007 we moved to Brazil. Me, a Brazilian, and my wife and children US citizens. In the beginning, the first year, all was great, all was beautiful. We lived a an upscale beach semi-private place called Riviera de São Lourenço, near Bertioga. As we moved there during the winter all was fine. Then came summer, when the place went from zero to one hundred. Traffic, crowds, and children driving around the place in their daddy`s Mercedes, because I found out the rich in Brazil believe they have more rights than the law dictates. In addition, I found out my teenagers were skipping our house after we went to bed to attend the many beach parties and gatherings with other teenagers, where boose and some drugs were plenty. That and the furious rust that attacked our belongings, as well as mold attacking our clothes, made me decide to move to Serra Negra, a small city up in the hills of São Paulo state. After one and a half years in the small town, fed up with the way people behaved, with the Brazilian bureaucracy that made everything difficult, with how hard it was to protect our children from eventual stuff, we just packed up and moved back to the US.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 bem vindos

My wife and daughter are both Brazilian. I married my wife in Brazil and we stayed there as a married couple for 7 years. We left dyring COVID because things were falling apart there. But now we think aout going back. We miss it a lot. My question for you is: what do you guys do for work? How do you make a living to afford to live there? I have been looking for ways to make money from the outside of Brazil while still living in Brazil but have a hars time. Thanks!

Hey Rebecca! Usually, mostly Brazilians that never left the county would complain about sus. I've already lived in America and now Australia for yeas as a Brazilian I'd say Brazil is great in many aspects but lack in others hence why lots of Brazilians try to go abroad when they can. Seeing those videos lately and making me appreciate every day a little bit more this place we cal home. I wish you guys have the best life there. Very cute the video with the boys trying Brazilian snacks. Keep it up!

Thank you so much for the wonderful videos. I am from Galway and my plan for next year is to move to Araguaina in the state of Tocantins Brazil in my retirement. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos

Achei o video por acaso e amei!

Welcome to Brazil. I wish you be happy here!

Im brazilian but i love ireland,i was living in galway i love ireland and irish people!🍀🇧🇷🍀

Seja bem vindo ao Brasil. E acredito que fez uma boa decisão se mudar primeiro mais ao interior, do que as Cidades maiores e Capitais, o Interior em sua grande extensão são mais calmo e tranquilo, na minha opinião.

If you have already money to mantain you, Brazil is a paradise !

Hi Rebecca, I'm Irish as well and planning to move to Brazil for family reasons, my son was born and lives there with his Mam. Would be interested to know more about some of things you mentioned in the video like the visa process before and after you arrived there? How long was the process of setting up accounts/ID/paperwork before you got settled? And how is it now for you after more than a year of living there? Would you have any advice for a new mover? Thanks, appreciate your video!

Brazil has dozens of great options to foreigners to live here. Personally, I think if a foreigner have some right monthly wage, he or she needed to think about living a small town because some things in the town are easier than in the big cities. Some cities in all South Brazilian, Sao Paulo, Rio and where I have lived, Espírito Santo, there are a lot of cities in mountains. Som of them are located "next" to the sea. By car I take an hour from my city to the beach.

Health care in Brazil is good, and it's going to get even better, it's a priority for the new government!

Hello, welcome to Brazil, I hope you have a happy and comfortable life here and that you are welcomed. Greetings from the state of Paraíba =)

My great grandfather was a Scot came two hundred years ago married another inmigrant , never got back our family could live anywhere, but we like it here.

Bem vindos ao Brasil

Welcome!

Thanks for the video and all the information! So are you learning portuguese after or before you moved there? And do you find any difficulties in communicating with others after moving to a new country? Btw boa sorte no Brasil e aproveitar :)

There are positives and negatives everywhere...that being said, I want to move to Brazil.

I now exactly what's you filling about quality of live , I Brazilian but leaving in Ireland since 2002 and will have a dream to end my life in Brazil 🇧🇷 I deserve success

does anyone know if being married to a brazilian allows me to do the resicence process in brazil without having to come back to the uk? or if I must do it before traveling to brazil?

From personal experience: Moving to a new country is difficult. But it can be a good thing to do when you're at a good place and time in your life, you're open to new experiences and adventures. That's why most people move when they're young and free of baggage; not sure how it will be for someone with the added stresses of having small children with learning disabilities. Knowing the language and customs before moving will make it easier to adjust. Otherwise, the culture shock will be too much. And that's why so many don't make it. Be realistic. It may not be much of difficulty if your husband is well off. Or you will risk becoming disgruntled. It'd be good to hear you speak Portuguese. By now you and your children, should be fluent. Good luck!

I am brazilian and I couldn't live outside of a condiminium. Inside a codominium it's as safe as any other first world contry

Hi Rebecca, thanks for the video. It would be great to hear more about the naturalisation/visa process you went through. My wife and I are in a similar position, I'm British and my wife is Brazilian and we live in the UK with two young children. Any further advice or tips you could provide would be really appreciated. Look forward to the next video. Obrigado.

Welcome to Brazil 🇧🇷 one of the beautiful country weather is so fantastic a lot raining here 🇧🇷🙂

"Barbed wires are for unsafe places and barbaric people", says the guy with a bakery-bought shotgun on his hands, waiting to shoot whoever gets into his private property.

I know a lot of people who made millions in Brazil with property and in the hospitality industry, specially in the northeast where tourism really goes up a level. It really depends on the individual.

I would love to hear more about autism in Brazil and what kind of services your child receives there!

Me again. I noticed the barbed wire on top of your wal, something that we don`t really see in the US, except in prisons. Is it common in Ireland? If not, how do you feel about it?

O Brasil tem muitos problemas, mas também tem muitas coisas boas, um bom clima, Alimentação ( Frutas e variedades de alimentos), temos tecnologia de ponta em várias áreas, mas o melhor do Brasil é o seu povo ,em sua maioria hospitaleiros , amigáveis, ajudadores etc, acho que todas as pessoas do mundo tinham que morar um ano no Brasil, nosso estilo de vida é que mesmo em meio as dificuldades, a falta de grana e outras coisas, ainda seguimos em frente. Nossa qualidade de vida e viver a vida

I've heard that brazil is better socially. But not economically. So it's all about priorities. A lot of people prefer to be socially happy. Once they realize money doesn't necessarily give them the fulfillment they need.

Hey, thank you for the interesting information :) I‘m curious, what Job do you guys have? Lots of greetings from Germany 😚🫶

AND you are living where ? Brasil is so varied ; from snow and freezing to sweating all year in the north

What did you and your husband do about work when moving to Brazil? Does your husband work remotely for a company in Ireland or did he find a job there in Brazil?

Thanks you so much! I Wish u all the best! I ask you a thing for my coysin; If a girl or a woman would like to live in Brazil forever and She is alone,no support there would you encourage her more to come or not? As you told It depends so I ve told you well her situation thanks,safe condominiums where can be found?, are the means of teansport good nd safe? The food Is genuine?,Is It easy for a girl or a woman to find a steady job in Brazil? I mean every kind of job? The salaries are generally lower than in Europe? And the lifecosting high? Thanks!

Hi, how are you? My name is Lashgar, and I am also thinking about living in Brazil. It is a wonderful country and you will find a variety of nationalities from the world.

Thousands of Europeans have moved to southern Brazil in recent years, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2o6EMSHuVPQ.htmlsi=ROme-TlCc9JMkwMP generally to Santa Catarina. There are places in Brazil that are safer than Paris, Rome, Berlin, etc.

SUS is not the same in the whole country in same regions, states, towns and citities, it works in a different ways. Fortunately in my town (in the countryside of Minas Gerais it is good), my mother has diabetes then she has all de medicine, insuline, glucometer, the needle, from SUS, her diabetes is under control thanks the SUS program . The public dentist it woks pretty well in my town as well.

I live in the netherlands , my wife is from Salvador Bahia , my wife arranged my rights in Brazil being married . Might look for holiday house .No permanent stay , just few months or less. 5:28

A música de fundo me atrapalhou um pouco, meu inglês é péssimo, aliás.

time to grow your channel ... I invoke the 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I’m from limerick 😂 I love it here in sau Paulo

Are you a singer ?? You get a nice voice.

Brazil has the best HIV treatment in the world, as well as one of the best heart and heart transplant treatments, as well as exemplary cancer treatment. And all free.

WHERE in Brazil are you?

Also I like to know is there a mailing system can Brazil in case I need mail sent from United States to me and Brazil can I receive mail and what documents do I need put in for a 6 month or longer to live in Brazil please make videos on these subjects have be most please

Barbed wire on top of the fence? Irish girl with an American accent?

Razor wire?

Even though you have to live like in a prison (high walls with barber wire), your family will probably have a better life in Brazil. Europe’s economy will die as consequence of the war between US and China/Russia. Best wishes.

Well, being a Norwegian that was born in Brazil and partially raised in Brazil and in Norway, I went to work in Rio in 2013, but left in 2015. Brazil has become a dangerous country to live in, and is terribly bureaucratic with very high import taxes that seriously affect businesses. Furniture, home electrical appliances, some electronic products and vehicles are all made in Brazil and are of very low quality. With the current communist regime in Brazil, the situation there has got much worse, especially when it comes to censorship and freedom of speech. Although I also have the Brazilian citizenship, I have no plans to return to Brazil, not even for a visit, and definitely not under the communist regime there. Norway is a cold country, but it is much safer to be here.

5:10 Well, we say we dress like Caipiras which is "rednecks/hillbilly" I know that's not the most PC word in English, but that's it.

I'm scared to hear you say that the healthcare system in Ireland is not good. Ireland is a developed country.

nuts ,

Brazil is the best country on Earth!

Brazil is fantastic: you see in my backyard behind me barbed wire and high walls of reinforced concrete!

SEGURANÇA EM SAO PAULO E RIO DE JANEIRO É COMPLICADO DICA, QUALIDADE DE VIDA E SEGURANÇA É, CURITIBA, BALNEARIO CAMBURIU E GRAMADOS NAO PRECISA VIVER EM CONDOMINIO, E NINGUEM VIVE COM MEDO QUALIDADE DE VIDA E SEGURANÇA ALTISSIMA, INSEGURANÇA NAO CHEGA A 1% COMPARADA A SAO PAULO E RIO DE JANEIRO SECURITY IN SAO PAULO AND RIO DE JANEIRO IS COMPLICATED TIP, QUALITY OF LIFE AND SAFETY IS, CURITIBA, BALNEARIO CAMBURIU AND GRAMADOS NO NEED TO LIVE IN A CONDOMINIUM, AND NOBODY LIVES IN FEAR HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE AND SAFETY, INSECURITY DOES NOT REACH 1% COMPARED TO SAO PAULO AND RIO DE JANEIRO

Não se preocupem não vai acontecer ww3 nuke, fiquem tranquilos.

You went to 🇧🇷 because your husband is Brazilian and the life in Ireland 🇮🇪 is just a little bit better than Brazil but probably you guys will be back soon

Is this a joke? You're sitting behind high walls with barbed wire on top. Real ringing endorsement.

Hi, I'm from The Netherlands and I would like to live in Brazil! What is the best and safest city to live in?

I BEEN IN 🇮🇪 I'M FROM 🇨🇦 I LIKE TO VISIT 🇧🇷 BUT IT'S VERY DENJRIOUS COUNTRY.
