True to the immense and unique nature of Brazil, immigration to Brazil requires a heightened understanding and awareness. With so many regions and such diversity from which to choose, one must first determine to where in Brazil one would choose to immigrate. Brazil’s immigration policies are specific and deliberate, heavy on procedure and not necessarily cheap. And the cost of living, and especially the cost of buying property or building a home, can vary from region to region. One had best be fully prepared in order to make for as smooth a transition as possible, because the natural wonders and Brazilian lifestyle will reward the keen and determined foreigner. Brazil has some of the biggest and best of the world -- the Amazon River, the most voluminous river in the world; the Amazon rainforest, the largest tropical rainforest in the world; and the Pantanal, the largest freshwater wetland in the world, having the greatest concentration of fauna in the Americas. Brazil is the world’s largest ethanol producer and a bio-energy superpower, its ethanol fuel being produced from sugar cane, with the world’s largest crop in production and export tonnage. Brazil, the biggest country in South America, has the longest street party in the world -- the ‘Carnaval.’ One of the new Seven Wonders of the World is the statue of Christ the Redeemer on the Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro. According to FIFA, the Brazil national football team is 'arguably' the best team in the world, with the biggest club stadium in the world –the Maracana stadium, also in Rio de Janeiro, with a capacity of 120,000. If that isn’t enough, your dollar goes a long way here and it is possible to live like a movie star in Brazil. Imagine the aroma of fresh Atlantic langoustines sauteed in garlic and organic butter by your cook. As the succulent scents slowly make their way up the solid granite stairs and into the tropical air of your huge veranda with railings made of solid pernambuco wood, your uninterrupted views for miles include majestic mountains and the sun sinking into the Atlantic Ocean. Within the background rhythms, amidst the exotic chamber music of tropical birds, you hear your gardener watering the plants, and your driver waxing the car. It is said that every nation in the world has its blood running through the veins of a Brazilian, so that no one coming to Brazil could possibly feel like a foreigner. This might explain why the people are so welcoming and full of smiles; you are already one of them. Romasa Storey, author of Immigrating to Brazil, admits, “The aim of this book is to make moving to Brazil easier for others than it has been for us.” They had been living in London and had considered immigrating to other destinations such as Sri Lanka and Nicaragua, without success. Instead, they were about to settle for, literally, “buying an old Rolls Royce.” “We almost went to view a magnificent two door RR Silver Cloud III with ‘Chinese eye’ headlamps. However, before we got that far, the broker telephoned us and said that he had to be quick because he was telephoning us on his mobile telephone from Brazil. Brazil! Suddenly, the penny dropped. This might be a place to live. Some research suggested that Brazil is what the rather arrogant ‘western world’ calls an ‘emerging economy’. Famously rich in natural resources (now even oil has been found there), vast and beautiful, it merited our further consideration. This book is the result of our direct experience of coming to explore and to live in Brazil.”
