Brazil has a huge problem with corruption so transferring money from and to Brazil is closely monitored by the authorities. Therefore, it can be a real pain in the arse to get money transferred, especially large sums.
It is difficult to establish a Brazilian bank account unless you are a permanent resident. If you do have a Brazilian bank account here, you can transfer money from your home country directly into that account. That will take a while and the cost can be quite high, depending on your bank’s charges and fees as well what your Brazilian bank will charge. It is also likely that you must attend your bank here in person and proof where the money is from. And attending any bank in person here in Brasilia is a time-consuming affair.
The best way to transfer funds into Brazil are money transfer services like Wise, formerly known as Transferwise. You can open an account online, which needs some time, and you have to provide several documents and security checks. But once that is done and you are set up it is all easy breezy.
With Wise you can only transfer money from your own bank account overseas into your Brazilian bank account. So if your family and friends want to send you money from their accounts that will not be possible. In that case better use transfer services like Western Union.
UPDATE: Wise allows you now to get a bank account with Wise in your home country. This includes a BSB and account number and works just like any bank account. This account can be used for family and friends to deposit money into it and you can than send it to people to anywhere in the world that have also a Wise account.
Once you initiate the transfer through Wise you have to transfer the money from your foreign bank account into a Wise account and about 2 days later it will land in your Brazilian account.
Please note that you will not have a problem transferring US $10.000 a year from your overseas account to Brazil. Once you go over US $10.000 Wise might ask you for some more information.

With her previous profession employment as a teacher, and having two adult children of her own, she is well placed to take responsibility for any children in her care. Speaking fluent Portuguese and English, your children will be in safe hands and also receive the benefits of improving their language abilities.

I came here to write a post about Billy and I see there already is one! So I'll just add my experience. When I was brand-new to Brasilia I did a group tour of Brasilia. This is a really great tour - you'll learn not only the layout of the city and the history of why it's been done that way, but also get to see all the big monuments and best architecture. I would really recommend this tour if you have family or friends visiting. You'll learn so much about the city, and your guests will feel like they actually know the city.

Moving is often a stressful and daunting task, but AAA Moving & Relocations LLC made it a breeze!
The team was fantastic - they were professional, efficient, friendly and patient! They took great care in packing and securing all of my belongings, and even went above and beyond to collect a few items that I had forgotten.
Paulo Woolny, the owner of the company, was also incredibly helpful throughout the process. He provided transparent and accurate quotes upfront, so there were no surprises when it came to the cost of my move. He also kept me informed every step of the way, which really put my mind at ease. He is always willing to please you if he can and if something is under his control.
When my removal reached Italy, their Italian counterparts were just as efficient and careful. All my belongings arrived in time and in perfect condition, which was great.
Overall, I cannot recommend AAA Moving & Relocations LLC highly enough. They truly are experts in their field, and they made what could have been a very stressful experience into a pleasant and easy one. If you're looking for a moving company that cares about your belongings and your peace of mind, look no further than AAA Moving & Relocations LLC. You shall not be disappointed!

If you want a day trip outside the city, Billy does really great tours to Cristalina, Pirenopolis, etc. I went on a Cristalina small group tour with him and it was really fun. My son is still talking about it two years later.

One of the best Açaís I've ever tried!
Super affordable, with generous portions. My favorite is the one mixed with cupuaçu sorbet 😍
The place is very charming and peaceful. They offer a range of delicious typical food and the owner is super friendly.
