Cadastro de Pessoa F\u00edsicas (CPF)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Brazilian Taxpayer Registry (Cadastro de Pessoa F\u00edsica), known as CPF, is a database administrated by the Federal Revenue, that stores information of its registered population. It is a document for Brazilians and foreigners that live in Brazil. Without CPF, one cannot open a bank account, rent internet or cable TV services, be up to date with taxes, purchase in determined stores, among other things.<\/p>\n

Depending on the country, foreign students can apply for CPF\u00a0 outside Brazilian territory by consulting the Brazilian Diplomatic Representations (consulades and embassies). Inside Brazilian territory, it is possible to apply for CPF in\u00a0Ag\u00eancia dos Correios\u00a0<\/strong>(Mail Agency) located at Rua Tiradentes, 2515, Pelotas. As a third option, international students can apply for CPF online, through the website of\u00a0Receita Federal\u00a0<\/strong>(Federal Revenue):\u00a0http:\/\/idg.receita.fazenda.gov.br\/orientacao\/tributaria\/cadastros\/cadastro-de-pessoas-fisicas-cpf\/atos-cadastrais\/inscricao-no-cpf<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0proof of registration in CPF\u00a0<\/strong>can be fulfilled by presenting the “CPF Registration Receipt” and an identification document to\u00a0Ag\u00eancia da Receita Federal\u00a0<\/strong>(Federal Revenue Agency), located at Rua Professor Ara\u00fajo, 216, Pelotas.

It is possible to travel from Porto Alegre to Pelotas by plane or by bus. If the student chooses to travel by bus, <\/strong>\u00a0they should head to Porto Alegre Bus Station (by taxi, train or bus) after arriving in the airport of the city. In order to buy the bus ticket, there are three options: the student can buy the ticket in the bus station, at the Veppo Store located in the airport or through the website of Veppo, in this link:\u00a0https:\/\/www.veppocel.com.br\/internet\/frame\/df_venda.htm<\/a>, after signing up.

It is important to pay attention to the time of departure of the bus, because there might be traffic jams in peak times in the way from the airport to the bus station.<\/p>\n

If the student chooses to travel by plane<\/strong>, the airport in Pelotas\u00a0operates scheduled flights with the company Azul Linhas A\u00e9reas, connecting Pelotas to Porto Alegre with two daily flights.<\/p>\n

If the student arrives in Porto Alegre at the end of the week, we recommend that you exchange your money at the exchange offices of the airport, as there is a possibility that the exchange offices in Pelotas are closed. Suggestions: Alternative Tourism and Exchange, located on the 2nd floor of the passenger terminal 2; Casa Brasil Cambio, located on the 1st floor of the passenger terminal 1.<\/p>\n

The journey, in Pelotas, from the bus station or the airport to the accommodation is a responsibility of the student. UFPel does not provide a student reception service.<\/p>\n
