Move to Brazil with a plan your whole family can follow

A planning system and community, not another travel guide

A family relocation fails in the gaps between topics: the visa route changes the document calendar; the school changes the neighbourhood; the neighbourhood changes transport and budget. Come to Brasil keeps those decisions together.

Members receive the Complete Brazil Manual, planners, checklists, calculators and community access. The English edition starts with Florianópolis because that is where our local knowledge is deepest, while the legal and arrival framework covers Brazil more broadly.

Your family roadmap

Start by mapping the legal route and every dependent. Then build the document register, stable budget, arrival fund, housing shortlist, school plan, healthcare plan and first-90-days sequence.

The family relocation checklist gives you the order. The manual adds the detailed procedures, official links and worksheets.

1. Choose and verify the residence route.
2. Prepare the family document register.
3. Build stable, arrival and contingency budgets.
4. Shortlist housing, schools and health access together.
5. Run the first 90 days as a dependency plan.

Understand the local price before you agree

Foreigners can be asked for more guarantees, quoted a convenient English-language price or pushed to decide quickly. Our goal is not to promise the lowest price. It is to give you the normal local context, comparable options and a Portuguese-speaking person who can ask the questions you would ask if you had lived here for years.

That applies to rentals, schools, movers, clinics and daily services. For housing, read the foreigner rental guide.

One membership covers the planning layer

The US$29.90 monthly membership includes the manual, updates, community, planners, cost tools, document checklists, neighbourhood guidance and member resources. It is designed to stay useful before the move and after arrival.

When a task requires a lawyer, tax adviser, doctor, broker or other licensed professional, the community helps you recognise that boundary and prepare the right questions. It does not impersonate regulated advice.

• Residence and document planning
• Housing, school and healthcare decision tools
• Florianópolis cost and neighbourhood guidance
• Local discounts and provider-comparison resources
• Nationality groups and family connections
• 24/7 community questions and practical support

Start with the decision that blocks the others

If the legal route is unclear, begin with the Brazil residence guide. If the city decision is clear but the numbers are not, build the Florianópolis family budget. If both are clear, move into the first-90-days checklist.

You do not need to solve the move in one night. You need one source of truth, a safe order and people in Brazil who can tell you when an assumption no longer matches reality.
