Brazil/Is there such thing as a fiancee visa in Brazil?

Question
I am traveling to Brazil in April with my fiance who is Brazilian and I want to stay longer than the maximum 180 days, preferably up to a year. Apart from getting married is there any other way that I could stay longer, eg. a fiancee visa? I have the funds to stay that long and will be supported but my fiance and his family if necessary.
I am 20 years old if that makes any difference to rules. Thank you.
Age makes no difference. And a fiance visa is only good for someone who is not in the country. You will be stuck with a tourist visa, Im afraid. Unless you were in college and could apply for another type of visa, such as a cultural visa or education visa.
Sorry.
