15 Easiest Countries To Immigrate To From US

8. BRAZIL: This largest South American country has got all the spectacular natural delights you could ever wish for in the form of the unmatched Amazon, blindingly white sand dunes, deep-blue lagoons and golden sandy beaches. If you are a nature lover, life in this country could be easy-breezy and fun, because Brazilians are known for their cultural vibrancy, lively festivals and their kind and hospitable treatment of foreigners and immigrants. The cost of living is no more expensive than in the US. This fast-growing economy does promise free public healthcare. US citizens do not need a visa to visit Brazil for tourism, business and sport events. However, to establish residence there, a permanent visa has to be applied for and certain criteria met. The process will be easy if you are an investor, a professional, professor, researcher or a skilled worker. For acquiring citizenship, you must live there for 15 uninterrupted years, but this can actually be shortened to four years if you have a well-paying job and can conveniently communicate in Portuguese. Another quickest ways of obtaining residency and citizenship is marrying a Brazilian citizen, or investing USD 126,000 in any local company. Retirees may apply for a permanent visa under the Retirement Residence Transfer program. Dual citizenship is allowed in Brazil.
