Flamengo: what do Arrascaeta and Rossi need to become Brazilian? See | OneFootball

Giorgian De Arrascaeta and Agustín Rossi, of Flamengo, have applied for Brazilian naturalization, but they are at different stages. The Uruguayan started the process earlier, while the Argentine submitted his request more recently.

RTI Esporte Agency has learned that the delay in Giorgian De Arrascaeta’s case is linked to administrative procedures. The number 10 is not publicly pushing for the process to be concluded. Agustín Rossi, having filed his request recently, is still in the initial stages of the process.

What are the criteria?

Under ordinary naturalization, the rule requires residence in Brazil for at least four years before applying. The applicant must also prove legal capacity, the ability to communicate in Portuguese, and the absence of a criminal conviction, except for the exceptions provided by law.

This residency period may be reduced in certain situations, such as for someone who has a Brazilian child or a Brazilian spouse or partner, provided the other requirements are legally met.

The application is submitted through the Naturalizar-se system of the Ministry of Justice. The documentation is reviewed, with the Federal Police taking part in verification stages. The final decision lies with the Ministry of Justice.

How long does it take?

The four years of residence are a requirement to apply for naturalization, not the review period. After the application is filed, the law provides for up to 180 days for completion, with the possibility of an extension if additional checks are necessary.

Agustín Rossi is still at the beginning

The difference lies in the stage of each process. Giorgian De Arrascaeta is awaiting the outcome of the request made earlier, while Agustín Rossi is still in the initial stages of the proceedings. There is no public date for the conclusion of the Uruguayan’s case.

What is still needed for naturalization?

The application does not automatically guarantee nationality. The documents and legal requirements still need to be reviewed. If approved, the naturalization takes effect after publication in the Official Gazette of the Union.

At Flamengo, therefore, Giorgian De Arrascaeta and Agustín Rossi are in different situations. The Uruguayan is closer to the conclusion of an older application, while the Argentine still has to move forward through the administrative stages.
