If it`s registred N, why would you need a Brazilian license? you will need an FAA license to get the type rating and then to fly the plane. There are very few situation where you would also need a Brazilian license on top of everything, like if the plane is leased to a Brazilian company that uses it for profit doing things like survey....I doubt it`s the case.

If a company wants to hire why haven`t they told you what you need?

If the company operates part 91, then you will need to be a legal resident or have a work visa of the country the company that pays your salary is from.

Brazil has become really strict with foreign flying in and into Brazil with N reg airplanes as commercial operation, now even for ferry flights USA-Brazil they want you to have a work Visa.

I don`t know if Part 135 with N reg planes are even legal or exists in Brazil, if it`s an US based company then you will need a Green Card.

You don`t need to speak portuguese but it would help.

Also look up FAR 135.243 c2 if you are gonna be PIC
