A friend of mine, born in Bolivia and raised in the US (thus holds dual citizenship to both countries) would like to go to Brazil to begin working as an English teacher. The school that we've been in talks with in Sao Carlos seem to think that because she hold a Bolivian passport, she is able to obtain a two year residency permit for Brazil, and she doesn't have to jump through the hoops that other foreigners do, such as signing up for a university course in order to apply for Vitem 4 ( seesee here: http://miami.itamaraty.gov.br/en-us/student.xml ).
We've had mixed responses from different Brazilian embassies, with some saying that she is eligible but then others saying she isn't.Has Has anybody any advice for us?
