No sounds like it admittedly ,BUT corruption is rife- drug barons run the country and look at the wrong person the wrong way and you may get shot. The traffic lights are turned off at midnight because if you stop at them you WILL get robbed at the very least or your car snatched at gun point.
First time there on a day trip out in the family car we passed 2 human bodies killed beside the main road and dumped there
The solicitors are so bent the accept clients from both sides and the one that pays them the most they side on, My son has personal experience of this.
80% of the money got from the Olympic Games to take place shortly goes to the Mafia. My D-in -L won't even go into Rio it is too dangerous.
I was talking to a Police sargent last time I was there (via my D-in-L) and he proudly claimed to have shot 3 people that day and killed them as they were involved in drugs. He even took out his pistol and emptied it for me to look at. This he carries 24/7 for protection.
Brazil is a very dangerous country to visit. You need to have relatives or friends to stay with, not a place for tourists even though it is a truely beautiful country.
Most brazilians seem to want the army to take over running the country, seems it is a lot safer when they did before
Iguazu Falls , Brazilian/Argentine border I took this from the Brazilian side

For him and his family to come back to the UK ( even though he owns a near £200,000 house over here) He has to have at least £75,000 in a UK bank and a job to go to paying at least £35,000pa.
Yet these immigrants are given everything such as houses -money- and do not have to even have a job.
This is what makes me personally really sick about our immigration laws. Those that work, with qualifications and are English can't bring their families here yet scumbag immigration scroungers are welcome with open arms
For him and his family to circumnavigate this he and family will have to become a resident in Portugal for a year and become Portugees. Then they can come to the UK with no restrictions as Portugal is part of the EEC
That will probably only apply if we vote to remain in the EU. If we vote to leave, then that may not necessarily be the case.

Re: Totally unfair
True UJbut as it stands at the moment it will make no difference to them living where thet do now as Brazil is not part of the EU
My grandchildren will have no problem coming here as one was born in the UK and the other two will have dual nationality anyway. It is Flavia (dil) who will have the problem

Re: Totally unfair
That's terrible Realspeed, how could this country have got into the state it's in without us knowing about it?It just goes to show how incompetent our government is when we can not take care of our own citizens abroad - Or in this country for that matter.
I hope you can sort out a satisfactory conclusion Realspeed.

Re: Totally unfair
I've heard this before. The lady who does my hair has a son who lives in Bali, he went there on the rebound from a long term relationship selling Time shares.ON the outward journey he met a local girl on the plane and fell in love with her, they married and went on to have three children together.
He's tried to come home with his family a couple of times but run into the same problems your son and his family face.
To be honest, I can make no sense of it.
Then there's the other side of it, who'd want to leave Bali to come here? Lol!
