Question about travel outside of US for a GC Holder

Hello All,

My employer works with major communications suppliers from across the world. My job requires me to travel as well. I have received my Green Card in July 2004.

Recently, I spent about 6 weeks in India working with a major wireless carrier. After these 6 weeks, I entered USA on April 07, 2007.

Now again, I have been asked by my employer to gather some information about satellite communications delay in Brazil. My guess, is I will be needing to travel to Brazil on May 01, 2007.

It would be helpful, if some of you can help me answer these questions. I have residence in USA and my salary is paid in USA. My employment shows that I am employed with the US Headquarters.


  • Are there any issues with frequent travels?
  • I usually carry my employee verification letter, my business cards, my passport and my GC during my travel. Are these documents enough?
  • I will be traveling to Rio De Janeiro. My itinerary has me connecting flights at Sao Paulo, Brazil during both my legs. Is that enough time in Sao Paulo? Where do I do my immigration in Brazil? Is that at POE or at Rio De Janeiro?
  • Any suggestions regarding food in Brazil will be helpful. I am a vegetarian

Many Thanks

no, since you are on business trips.

yes. You can also get some kind of letter from your employee that you are on a business trip. However, if your trips are to different countries and they do not exceed 6 months, I wouldn't worry about it.

enough time for what? how much time is it?
 
LuckyMO,

Thank you for your responses. When I asked about enough time in Sao Paulo, I was asking about immigration. Do I have enough time to go through immigration in Sao Paulo and then catch my connecting flight to Rio.

Where do I do my immigration in Sao Paulo?

Thanks again.

My guess is it will be pretty obvious as you get off the plane and follow everyone, you will eventually go to a booth where there is a border and customs person there. (There will be signs in Portuguese and English)

Do you need a visa? Check with the Brazilian consulate nearest you.
