Brazil (officially called the Federative Republic of Brazil) is the largest country in South America. It is the only country on that continent using Portuguese as their primary language. Brazil ranks as the fifth largest country in the world so it means that there are many places to visit and enjoy. For those people who love great weather and beaches, Brazil is one of the countries to consider retiring to. You can indulge in the tropical weather all year long you should consider Brazil as one of the friendliest countries in the world where you will always see people smiling and greeting each other with a kiss or hug.

If you are 50 years old and above and receiving a US$ 2,000 pension per month, then you can apply to transfer and retire to Brazil. This entitles you to have your own residence visa. The good thing is, there is no limit of dependents, which can also receive a residence visa, but of course, the retiree has to show some documents or proof that the applicant and dependents are real relatives. The applicant must show also a demonstration of an additional US$ 1,000 per month for every additional dependent.

If you are a devoted Roman Catholic then Brazil is one of the best choices to retire. It is well known as the country that has the largest population of Catholics. Brazil is a modernized country, which means that you can enjoy the comforts of home like internet and cable service without a worry. Brazilians also love cinema and music. It's reassuring to know that American music and movies are in the local interest so you can still enjoy American programs here. Brazil's economy is in very good condition and they are still expanding their financial stability internationally.

Brazilians love sweet foods and they were influenced by the Europeans. At the time when they were not yet influenced by Europe, the Indian group that lived in Brazil planted manioc, it is a kind of root vegetable like potatoes. They use it as a basic flour to make bread, biscuits and other pastries. Respecting and enjoying food is one of the wonderful parts of their culture.

If you want to spend your retirement life interacting with people, then I should say Brazil is the best choice. The people are very friendly and accommodating. The food is divine and the cost of living is cheaper compared to other countries.
