Money transfer to Brazil. Opinions are welcome by GringoLouco
I have a euro account and plan to have a wedding party in Brazil, in 2022. I asked my local bank to convert 10 000 euros to reais, because the pandemic weakened the real a lot. It would make the wedding more affordable. But my bank doesn't do ...
I would take care of that amount unless buying a property or a car. When I last checked with BB $4000.00 U$ was the max per month. Also, her bank will charge fees on a transfer.We are in contact with an official of Banco Do Brasil but we don't ... Read More

I have also found that transferring under R$ 10,000 at a time is a good thing. I have used TransferWise for the past almost 5 years without a hitch.How much time does there have to be between the deposits? Because the currency fluctuates quickly, ... Read More

You can also put your name in the property together with hers. Or you alone. You should come to Brazil and negotiate and then wire the money direct to the sellers account. Easier. You might want to wait a little for the reais to fall more. ... Read More
