What documents did u need and what usually goes wrong at the consulate?

i went through this last year, not in SP but the consulate part is the same. the temporary work visa (visto temporario) is tied to the employer & needs the mte autorizacao before u even book, that's where most people stall. get the apostilled docs started now, cartorio queues are brutal.

Yeah the MTE autorizacao is teh bottleneck, and the residence permit with a local contract still routes through the same queue at consulate.

Get the federal police registration (registro na PF) on your radar too, that's the step after the visa and it needs booking weeks ahead. Also bring a CPF sorted early, banks and the employer will ask for it constantly.

honestly the wifi in centro cafes is hit or miss, some spots are fine for calls but a lot throttle you. i'd book a coworking day pass for anything important, there's decent ones around Republica. on time difference: europe is 4 to 5h ahead, so most people i know start early and knock off by 3 or 4. se square is nice to sit but it's more touristy than laptop friendly, too much foot traffic.
