But maybe in the coming years they will make it easier for pilots to work there seeing as though in the coming year the anticipated pilot shortage is coming up. I'm not sure if it will hit Brazil but I hope it does.
Keep your eyes open in the run-up to the World Cup, if the rules are to be changed that's when it will happen. You might want to convert your licences before then, if you can. There is no need to live here to do that, although obviously you need to come here for the tests.
Don't give up on this, despite the red-tape. Brazil is growing quickly and there will be a shortage of pilots at some point in the future.
Good luck
