Hi I am a nurse from the Philippines, and I am planning to work as a nurse Abroad in Brazil. I Have the followings questions:
1. What Are the Qualifications Needed by a foreign nurse to work in Brazil Beside Being fluent in Brazilian Portuguese?
FOLLOW-UP QUESTION: I am Specialized in Psychiatric and Community Nursing. Would That Be a bonus?
2. What do I need for a working visa Brazil and how long will it Be Effective? If ever, can I petition my family to live with me in Brazil?
Thanks in advance!

I think you should find your local Brazilian consulate and ask these questions there. I know it's super-easy to get the tourist visa, but I'm sure it's harder to get a working visa.
When I was an exchange student in Brazil, I had to present an acceptance letter from the Brazilian University I was going to attend when I applied for the student visa.
Boa sorte!
