Question
Hi, I read your answers regarding marriage. I am a Nepali, and doing a doctorate in India, my girlfriend is also a lecturer in Salvador da Bahia. She will visit me in coming December, and then we will marry in Nepal according to my Buddhist culture. After my marriage I won't go Brazil immediately because of my PhD. Is it necessary to register at the Court in Brazil within 6 months? How can social marriage proof (photos) and marriage certificate issued by Nepali government can help me to get immediate Marriage certificate and  duel citizenship in Brazil?  What is the possibility to get job in Brazil by having PhD in anthropology? Thanks!

Answer
Hello Rajsakya,

Congratulations for your coming marriage. I am not expert on visa and immigration subjects and recommend to contact the Brazilian embassy in India for clarification: http://www.brazilembassy.in/en/content/welcome

I believe that a research or faculty position is your best bet for a job in Brazil. Most Brazilian jobs will require you to speak Portuguese. You could also contact international research organizations (maybe less restrict on language requirements).

Check these job search engines for employment opportunities in Brazil(they are in Portuguese):

Expatriates living in Brazil are good source of information:
