So I guess I've reached the point where I'll make a personal post on BHW, huh.
I am from a place that's pretty close to a current military conflict. I saw the writing on the wall early, left for Brazil and bought a condo here, but in the two years I've been here I have not managed to get documented. I am registered with the tax office and pay my taxes here, but the immigration office refuses to give me permission to stay unless I marry.
No lawyer wants to take the case, embassy says whatever the immigration office says is sacred and cannot be contested. So I've reached a dead end.
Because I own property here, I probably would not be able to stay illegally and under the radar like many people do around here and my two-year visa is running out without any way to extend it.
So, my options now are 1) go back where I was born and join any resistance movement, 2) try again in Carribean or some other country here in the region.
Thing is, here in Lat Am people are completely f#cking oblivious to anything that's going on outside the region because there are almost no price hikes here yet, electricity is cheap, you can live here in a lot of material comfort pretty much like before 2019. But I'm like....what for? So that I can sit on my a$$ and sell advertising space for bull#hit? I mean, why? I just have more and more doubts about the pursuit of material safety.
What would you do? How would you decide?
