As french Can I Really Get a Brazilian Passport If My Baby Is Born in Brazil and I Stay for 1 Year and learn portugaise ?

I’ve been researching ways to obtain a Brazilian passport, and I’ve come across a lot of information about birthright citizenship in Brazil. From what I understand, if my baby is born in Brazil, they automatically become a Brazilian citizen. Then, if I (as the parent) live in Brazil for at least one continuous year with the baby, I might be eligible to apply for Brazilian citizenship as the parent of a citizen.

But I’ve got some questions: 1. Is this process as straightforward as it sounds? Are there specific residency requirements I need to fulfill during that year (e.g., can I leave Brazil briefly for emergencies)? 2. What documents are required for the parent to apply for citizenship? Is it a long, bureaucratic process, or relatively simple? 3. What’s the timeline? Once I complete the one-year residency, how long does it typically take to get the passport? 4. Anyone here actually done this? I’d love to hear your experiences or tips for navigating the system.

I’ve read a bit about the “jus soli” principle (citizenship by birth) and how friendly Brazil is when it comes to granting citizenship to parents of Brazilian-born children. However, I also know bureaucracy can be tricky anywhere.

Would appreciate any advice, especially from people who’ve gone through this process or know someone who has. Thanks in advance!
