The account was opened 4 months ago in Belo Horizonte with no problems.
I went with my fiance and got a CPF, then to another office and got a Declaracao of residency when in Brasil with the Servico Notarial (I think).
I opened the account then with Banco do Brasil in Belo Horizonte.
I have been into the London branch and they have set me up with a paying in book (via Nat West) where you have to pay cash only into and it gets transferred free into your Banco do Brasil account and when in Brasil I draw money out and spend it. Otherwise you have to do a money transfer which is expensive.
This works fine, as I say one of the lucky ones I guess.
