-First of all you need to take classes of Portuguese, seems easy.. but when they talk, they talk so fast!
-To have all vaccinations, the ones you need in Mexico and yellow fever (15 days before the flight)
-International insurance
-Here are the requirements for the student visa (which here is very important, even if they have free access for 120 days.
-This is the official link of the consulado-geral do brasil

-Also to bring some credit cards and debit cards (HSBC or Santander). In these days I have problems with the debit cards (Santander) because the cashiers machines are not connected with the Mexican banks. So its better if you can bring from different banks, i didn't have any problem with the credit cards (they saved my life).
-Some cash its also necessary.. its difficult to find reals in Mexico, so I recommend to bring dollars and exchange for reals in the airport
-People here are very friendly and when you are having trouble to communicate always its better to speak spanish (they don't like English)
I think those are the tips that I wish someone had told me before coming
Dear Ann Lee, it was a great idea to share al the things you learned about the requirements to travel to Brazil and for the enrolling process at USP in Bauru.
ReplyDeleteI am sure it will be very helpful for your little MO brothers and sisters and also for myself.
Thank you!
