"If you are Cuban and want to come to Brazil, I am going to tell you the reality": Cuban warns her fellow countrymen.

A young Cuban living in Brazil shared a video on TikTok offering advice to her compatriots who are thinking of emigrating to the South American country.


A young Cuban, identified on TikTok as @daliage16, has shared a video in which she offers practical advice to her compatriots who are considering emigrating to Brazil.

Residing in the South American country, the young woman takes a few minutes to speak frankly about the challenges and opportunities faced by Cubans who decide to move there.

In the video, the Cuban emphasizes the importance of learning Portuguese before arriving: "Spanish is not spoken here, you have to learn the language if you want to get ahead." For those arriving without mastering Portuguese, the language barrier can be one of the first and greatest obstacles.

Another aspect that stands out is the ease of regularizing immigration status, ensuring that Cubans can obtain legal documentation that allows them to work and live in Brazil with the same rights as local citizens.

"You will have legal documentation that allows you to do everything like a Brazilian, the same rights, except for voting and holding public office," he explains, encouraging those seeking legal stability in their migration process.

However, the young woman emphasizes that, despite these advantages, success in Brazil largely depends on the personal effort of each individual. "Everything depends on your effort and dedication," she points out, making it clear that emigrating to Brazil does not guarantee automatic success, and that newcomers must be willing to adapt to the culture and strive to get ahead in a completely new environment.

The Cuban also reminds her compatriots that they will be the ones who have to adapt to local customs. "You are the one who is new; you are the one who has to move forward and adapt to their culture," she states. This cultural adaptation is key to being able to fully integrate into Brazilian society, where cultural and linguistic differences can be an initial challenge.

Finally, it mentions that Brazil is a country that "values professionals," which is good news for those who have degrees and work experience, as they may find opportunities in a market that recognizes technical and academic skills.

This type of testimony and advice is becoming increasingly common on platforms like TikTok, where Cuban migrants share their experiences and provide valuable information for those considering taking the step toward new horizons in search of better opportunities.
