Question
I Giz born in USA since '68 would like to know how hard is
would be to move to Brazil. I am married of 15 years. To an
American.

Answer
Hello,

It is not easy to move to Brazil. You would need to get a working or permanent visa and learn Portuguese before getting a job there.

My recommendations it to visit the country as a tourist before deciding to move there. Please contact foreigners already living in Brazil and read the previous posts in the allexperts site to learn more Brazil.
