What are the advantages of having citizenship?

One of the biggest advantages of having Brazilian citizenship is hassle­free travel. Brazilian citizens are able to travel to over 146 countries and territories without the need for a visa, including the Schengen area. Brazil also recognizes dual citizenship so you don't have to worry about renouncing your own citizenship. Brazilian citizens are eligible for public sector jobs, which they can apply for by participating in the so­called "concursos". Public sector jobs in the country have higher average salaries than jobs in the private sector and they offer a multitude of attractive benefits on top of that. By naturalizing you will have access to governmental social programs as well as having the added benefit of not having to continuously renew your visa if you're in the country as a permanent resident.
