Romanian Brazilians (Romeno-brasileiro) are Brazilians of full, partial, or predominantly Romanian descent, or Romanian-born people residing in Brazil.[2] According to 2008 estimates, there are around 200,000 Romanians or people of Romanian descent currently living in Brazil,[3] although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Romania says there only are 7,393 Romanian citizens in Brazil and up to 40,000 Brazilians with some Romanian ancestry.[1]
