There is much more to organize. We have prepared a step-by-step guide so you don’t fall into the traps that the “Land of Uncle Sam” may hide. Grab your notebook and take notes!

Phone Plan: The First Step to Communicate

The first thing, my buddy, is to figure out how you are going to communicate with people. There are several options, like T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. Go to a store, show your passport, and leave there with a U.S. number. With about 130 dollars, you activate your number and then pay around 60 per month. With a phone, you’re in the game!

Opening a Bank Account in the United States

The second item on our list is a bank account. Banks like TD Bank and Bank of America are good starts. The process is simple: present your passport and deposit about 50 dollars. Got the account? Great, now you have a place to receive and pay your bills.

Buying or Renting a Car

In the United States, everything is far away, so having a car is almost a basic necessity. You can buy one outright or finance it, depending on your budget. But here’s a warning: don’t buy the first car you see, research to avoid buying a “lemon”.

Housing: Between Rooms and Houses

For those coming alone or as a couple, the tip is to go for a rented room. It’s easier, quicker, and more affordable. Now, if the family is large, be prepared for more bureaucracy. Some places require a proof of income and can take up to a month for approval. But don’t be discouraged, there is a way for everything.

The fifth and final step is to secure a source of income. Join WhatsApp, Telegram, and Facebook groups where there are job offers for Brazilians. Call for the positions you are interested in and show your willingness. The important thing is to keep moving, because here, those who don’t run, fly!

So that’s it! With these five steps, you are more than ready to start your new journey in the United States.
