Hi Sandra,

I'm a Canadian who has been living in Brazil for eleven years now. Yes, there is crime and violence in Brazil. Isn't there crime and violence everywhere in the world nowadays? I've never had any problems personally (read my "Gringo's Survival Guide for Brazil" and the other postings at the beginning of the first Brazil Forum page.)

Despite all the problems here in Brazil there are a whole lot more good things about living here and I certainly wouldn't want to live anywhere else now. Clearly, it's not for everybody, but if you can adapt it's terrific.

The only worry I would have is education, depending on the age of your children. You cannot put them into the public school system, it is in shambles. The only alternative is private schools which offer good quality education but cost a lot.

In the end you must do what your heart and your head tell you to do, not what other people think you should do. They're not walking in your shoes.

Hi All - I am from India & have been offered a contractual job in Rio Brazil. Would appreciate if anyone can help me with respect to the cost of Living in Rio Brazil. Also about tax structure in Brazil. Will I be liable to pay tax in India or in Brazil.

Cheers.

Hello Ranga123,

If you are working in Brazil and earning an income here you will also have to pay taxes in Brazil. Depending on how much you have earned in India before you leave the country you may also be required to pay taxes there too.

Were are you living this time?

Sandra, I am Brazilian and I leave in Rio. I have two kids and I need to agree with the another post that I read about the kids. The first topic it is about education, the must go to a private school and a good one cost around ($1000/month). Another thing is the health ensurance.
Please include both costs in your calculations.
However, the costs to have fun are very low... beach, public parks, etc are for free and I believe the kids will love Rio.
The cariocas are really opened and like foreing people also, however a very few people speak English. You should think about take some Portuguese classes as well.
Good lucky and welcome to Rio !

In response to the safety of Brazil, if you use common sense and good judgement you will be fine. There is crime, violence, and petty theft everywhere in the world. And there are places where I live that I wouldn't venture into at night. Common sense/good judgement = being safe.

Avoid participating in protests also. It only takes one idiot or misunderstanding to turn a peaceful productive protest into a violent unproductive protest.

Matt-
