I'm Brazilian, I live in the US, and I want to open a MEI (individual microentrepreneur). Does that work?

There's an important detail here. The MEI was designed for people who live and work in Brazil. Living abroad changes your tax situation and may not even allow this setup. Each case depends on where you are a tax resident. This is a point that trips up many people doing business across the Americas. TF inter understands this back-and-forth between countries. We look at your actual situation, check whether the MEI fits, and show you the right path so you don't create problems on either side of the border.
