Subject: Cost of Staying in BrazilPosted by A guy from England On Sunday, September 08, 2002 at 03:08:33 Message: I have been told that to be allowed to stay in Brazil you need to have one hundred dollars for every day of your stay. Is this true? How much in dollars can you get by on in Brazil? I have tried to find this out but have had some difficulty. | |

Lifestyles is correct on cost of living... | |

The only thing I have ever been asked "proof" of was my return plane ticket and my visa of course. Put your mind at ease, it's not true. | |
| RE: Cost of Staying in Brazil Posted by scott On Wednesday, September 18, 2002 at 15:54:52 Message: i just returned from rio yesterday.....what an awesome place.... as a very "general rule", just take you normal living expense (assuming you are american) and divide that expense by 3.... things really are inexpensive in brazil....in rio, and, even more so in outer lying cities... examples: 2 people eat at mcdonalds = 12 real (approx US $4) hotel: 125-200 real (approx US $40-75) very good meal for 2 = 50-100 real (US $10-35) beer/chopp = 1-2 real (US $0.50 - 0.75) if you want additional info, please feel free to email me... | |
