Safety must be your major concern no mater where you are. I grew up in São Paulo... never got robbed, assaulted, schemed or whatever. When 17, in my first year on the college, living in a smaller and safer town that I could walk anytime and everywhere alone, my house got invaded during July Break when I was visiting my hometown. And at 23 yo (around 2001) at my first time in France I got schemed right inside the airport and in the same day (and not only that time) a lad tried do mug me. Information, preparation and caution, but never despair. Just remember a shootout in the Generation Kill series when the Rolling Stones Magazine reporter were taking cover behind a Humvee and the soldier told him that "you are right now in the safest place in Iraq" and he was probably very close to the truth lol. Anyway... welcome to Brazil... just don't be delusional nor paranoid and the only thing you have to really worry about are taxes and regulations. Cheers!

[@JarrettHolmes]

@@RTPJu yes appreciate this. I’m not slowing down at all. I’m traveling Southeast Asia for the next 6+ months now. I’ll be back in Brazil 🇧🇷 before year.

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Thanks for having me on the channel!

The first of many collabs brother!

What can i use to pay that will actually work in brazil? I didn't have a credit card last time I went but I tried to use my debit card and I would say about half the time including the grocery store it wouldn't accept the payment. It would just decline my card

[@danjovis]

Yes, we have a lot of bureaucracy, but we've been improving and It's not true that you need to share your CPF with everyone. At the supermarket, they ask if you want to provide your CPF because you might get discounts if you're registered with that supermarket chain, and also for tax purposes.

[@JarrettHolmes]

Yes I learned that

[@HeleLealAlvesMandarana]

Burocracia no Brasil ??!!!.. que tal falar sobre burocracia na Itália.. Canada..etc

[@caiorossi4776]

There's something wrong there.Of course you can pay bills using a foreign credit card here. And we can't stay as long as we'd like to in other countries, such as the US and Australia. That's normal. If you're on a tourist visa, you don't normally want to stay for longer than 3 months. If you're planning to stay longer and try to renew your visa too early, that smells like illegal immigration, that you may have originally lied when you stated the purpose of your visit. As for violence, Brazilians are afraid of going to Rio too. As for pizza, have it only in São Paulo or the Southern states, where there was massive Italian immigration.

[@JarrettHolmes]

Yes I pay all my bills online with my U.S. cards and bank accounts.

[@johanandersson2422]

If you venture outside the Iracema / Beira Mar area you will find the diversity of food you are asking for, Taiba is only 77 km away and you will find fantastic food .

[@JarrettHolmes]

Yes I eat all over the place

[@Brasileira4kWalks]

This video is very necessary for anyone wishing to come to Brazil🥰

[@JarrettHolmes]

I agree!

[@justbelit]

Chris sharing the reality of the systems there is so invaluable to people who are sticklers for easy processes. I definitely understand why he would not want to stay in brazil and after watching this I would not go there as a nomad.

[@karl4813]

Are you leaving Chiang Mai/Canggu behind? Did you get bored of Bali/Thailand after being there so many times?

[@ChristheFreelancer]

Stay tuned. All will be revealed in the sequel to ‘Around the World in 130 days’ 😉

[@Kristoferwitha_k]

I think the problem is once you get a Brazilian bank account the us is going to need to know that or you're going to get fined and then they will monitor your foreign account and start taxing you on it so you're going to be double taxed

[@JarrettHolmes]

Good to know

[@BillyGringo]

They will not nor do they monitor your account in Brazil.

Good information. I like your green screen! 😊

Since your in Asian now, what was cheaper for dental work ? Brasil r Asian, got alot of work done in Asian before and need more again. so be good if could have dental holiday in brasil

[@JarrettHolmes]

Asia is cheaper for sure. I’m going next week myself to get a deep cleaning and some other things done.

[@shanehopper100]

@JarrettHolmes go to the Philippines, bohol island. I have a resort there u can stay there 🤣

[@TruthLove333]

Do you know if they changed the visa requirements yet, as mentioned in this video? Do I need to get it in advance, or will they just give 3 months from date of arrival?

[@JarrettHolmes]

@@TruthLove333 should be an online Visa now. You’ll need to look it up.

[@Hanavn]

❤🎉

[@mikefish8226]

You can't "skim" on a tap to pay.

[@JarrettHolmes]

yes you can almost everywhere

[@mikefish8226]

@JarrettHolmes No, you can't. Skimming is collecting the details of the card, including PIN (being very specific here as in the old days you didn't need the PIN from a skim). If you're thinking of something else with contactless payments, then you state that instead of incorrectly disagreeing.

[@livio-conexaocomaltafrequencia]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@justbelit]

wow. so much hassle just for a sim? i thought brazil was more progressive

[@JarrettHolmes]

I’m getting Holafly when I go to Southeast in a few weeks.

[@nickdepes7882]

it may be due to security reasons. But I guess You can buy pre paid cards.

[@adrianobernardes4448]

Try to get a prepaid in the US haha. In russia takes 5 minutes.

[@Kristoferwitha_k]

How does a foreigner get a pix account? Eeeeeevery Brazilian asks you to use pix. Tenho pix? Voce tehno pix? Lol uhhggghh nao! Nao tehno pix!

[@JarrettHolmes]

I tried like 5 banks and no one would give me one until I got my digital nomad visa and residency. They would not give me one with a CPF number only. Pix is great yes, and definitely the easiest way to pay for anything everywhere, especially food vendors and bars/restaurants.

[@Kristoferwitha_k]

@@JarrettHolmes thanks man. Are you still in Brazil? Can you do a video about residency?
