Retiring in Bento Gonçalves

Tacchini is at Dr. José Mário Mônaco 358 in Centro, and UPA is at Alberto Pasqualini 165 in Botafogo. Confirm routine clinicians, prescriptions and the private insurance network you would use.^{2,3,4,5,9,10,11}

Zona Norte lists intermittent shifts in CNES. Do not choose a home assuming it has the same continuous attendance described for Tacchini and UPA.^2,3,10

The Planalto example explicitly has no elevator. Centro and Humaitá examples list elevators, but a feature list does not establish level access from street to bedroom.^1,6,7

• Test the entrance, thresholds, doors and bathroom with your actual mobility needs.
• Ask what happens during an elevator outage.
• Check heating and ventilation in the bedroom and bathroom.
• Test the route to care and ordinary errands before committing.

CNIg Resolution 40/2019 covers qualifying retirement or survivor-pension residence. Articles 1 to 3 require a monthly transfer of US$2,000, with other regular income able to supplement the pension, and health insurance valid in Brazil. Initial residence can be up to two years.¹²

That national eligibility threshold does not establish a Bento household budget or guarantee approval. Compare actual costs, care arrangements, homes, winter conditions and document tasks separately.¹²
