Money Transfers and Work: how it works in Brazil — first-hand

From real experience

riskWhen working remotely or conducting business in Brazil, be aware of payment regulations.
Local credit cards are often required for online purchases and government services. Pix is a common payment method, but Bybit's Pix service may have restrictions related to non-Brazilian mobile internet or roaming. Be cautious of potential card security breaches and ensure you understand the cashback policies when disputing transactions. Some services may require a Brazilian CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas) for activation, though passport details may sometimes suffice.

riskRussian banking applications may face connectivity issues abroad due to several factors: invalid foreign security certificates, bank-imposed geo-restrictions detecting foreign IPs as VPN use, or local internet configurations blocking specific traffic types.
Using a Russian VPN is often a workaround. However, some users report successful connections and cross-border transfers (e.g., VTB to Itaú) without any VPN.
