Does the EB-3 prevent me from having a bank account in Brazil?

The EB-3 visa is an immigration category that allows a professional or skilled worker to obtain permanent residency in the United States through a job offer. This visa, by itself, focuses on authorization to live and work in the country and does not interfere with financial matters such as maintaining a bank account in Brazil.

Having the EB-3 does not mean giving up your rights and obligations in Brazil. In other words, you can indeed keep a bank account there, since authorization for residency in the US does not remove your ability to conduct financial operations in another country.

However, it is important to remember that if you become a tax resident in the United States, there may be obligations related to declaring assets and income held abroad. Therefore, it is worthwhile to be informed about each country’s rules and how they interact.

It is always advisable to keep up with immigration laws and tax regulations both in the United States and Brazil to avoid surprises and future problems. If you want to clarify specific doubts about your financial obligations and rights, seek specialists and reliable sources, avoiding falling for miraculous promises made by marketing campaigns or deceptive offers.

Remember: following immigration laws and being well informed are essential steps for a smooth and secure transition to the United States, without compromising your financial activities in Brazil.
