How to Become a FULL TIME English teacher in Brazil?

Hey, I am really interested in becoming an English teacher for non-English speakers in Brazil. I've done hours and hours of reading about ESL (English as a Second Language) teachers' experiences working in Brazil, but every teacher I've read about seems to have only stayed there for a few months. I would like to teach there full-time and make a career out of becoming an ESL teacher living in Brazil. How do I do this? Can I work full-time there and settle there if I have a Working Visa?
Answer:

Yes, you can. Many teachers work there on a tourist visa as it's quite difficult to get a working visa unless you're very well qualified and experienced. And speaking of qualifications, in general you'll need a degree (although there are still possibilities if you do not have this) and a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate to get a visa and work. The TEFL certificate can be taken either in-house or online at your own pace which is a much cheaper option (see http://icalweb.com).
