Moving to Bombinhas
Move the unresolved decisions ahead of the arrival date.
On this page
The short answer
A smooth Bombinhas move starts with a few written answers before the keys change hands. Confirm the annual contract and price periods, arrange the home accounts and settle any school or continuing-care needs. Keep residence registration and vehicle exemption paperwork in separate files. They have different authorities and deadlines. Use the first days to test the routine, rather than discovering that the home or journey cannot support it.
- Get the lease payment schedule and inventory before paying.
- Keep Federal Police registration clocks separate from vehicle exemption rules.
- Use the first days to test buses, care access and internet.
Before committing to the move
- Get the annual lease, advertised price period, extra charges, guarantee and inventory in writing.
- Confirm the actual internet installation date and first-bill terms.
- Ask the school or childcare center for a placement decision and document checklist.
- Arrange continuing care and bring medication and treatment records.
Prepare identity and residence steps
Receita's online CPF application for foreigners is free. A CPF is a tax identifier, rather than residence permission or lease approval. Use the official process and keep your details consistent across documents.20
Federal Police lists registration within 90 days of entry for a temporary visa. Residence granted in Brazil has a separate 30-day clock from publication in the Diário Oficial da União. Normal domicile jurisdiction and legal exceptions matter. Check the process for your own status rather than treating either clock as a visitor-stay extension.21
Ask Finance about your actual vehicle
The older exemption framework requires prior online application. A November 2025 tenant notice addresses exemptions exceeding one vehicle per rented property and gives notified people 10 days from receipt to choose the vehicle. That notification period differs from the older decree's 10-business-day decision period.2,
Contact TPA at +55 47 3393 9593 or +55 47 3393 9565, WhatsApp +55 47 3393 9500, or cobrancatpa@bombinhas.sc.gov.br. The municipal service lists Baleia Jubarte 328 in José Amândio and noon to 6 p.m. The November notice gives Monday through Friday. Ask about the current season, category and documents.2,

Questions people ask
Does obtaining CPF complete residence registration?
No. CPF is a tax identifier. Federal Police registration is a separate process tied to your immigration status and its own clock.
Which registration deadline applies to a temporary visa?
Federal Police lists 90 days from entry for temporary-visa registration. Residence granted in Brazil has a different 30-day clock from publication. Check the requirements for your actual status.
Are the two TPA ten-day periods the same?
No. The older decree gives 10 business days for a decision. Notice 008/2025 gives affected notified people 10 days from receipt to choose a vehicle. Ask Finance which current process applies.
What should the first full workday wait for?
A confirmed installation and a real call test from your work room. Unetvale's local installation descriptions conflict, so get the actual date and keep a backup connection ready.
