Migration from Brazil to Europe
Over the past decade, thousands of Brazilians have moved to Europe seeking work, education and new opportunities. Portugal has become a key destination due to its shared language and strong cultural ties, while Spain, Germany and Italy have also welcomed growing Brazilian communities.
Many Brazilians living in Europe regularly send money home to help their family or cover essential expenses. That’s why choosing a great money transfer service is key.
