Surinder Singh case - did I understand it well?

[HelenYelena]

Well, I'm new here and need lots of answers about my case. I'm sorry for a topic so similar to many others, but I couldn't find any topic like mine.

I'm a Brazilian woman, skilled worker, and met my British fiancé in England while I was on holiday in 2013. We got engaged last October and we r thinking about where we can get married. We thought that getting married in Brazil it's would be easier for me to get a visa as an spouse of British citizen to live and work in UK, but we all know about that ridiculous amount of money, so... No way for us. We though about going to Ireland next year and spend a year there as he is an EU citizen and I could go as his wife. I just read about the Surinder Singh route, but I'm not sure if it would be possible for us. We wanted to live in UK and Ireland is our second option.
For instance:

if we go to Ireland after getting married in Brazil I can apply for a visa of spouse of EU citizen, right?

If we get married in Brazil and move to Ireland we can't try the SS route cause it would be valid only if we had got married in any EU state?

Only if we don't get married here in Brazil and wait to get married in Ireland, can we try the SS route?

With the SS route it's not necessary to prove the £18,600 a year?

Brazilian students can work in Ireland in some special cases. So, if I go as a student, get married in Ireland to my English fiancé, I could try the SS route?
Has the minimum time living in Ireland (or any other EU state) changed now?

Thank you

Valid marriage is necessary. Place of marriage is immaterial.

Oh thank you very much for the answer. I was afraid if we get married in Brazil they could deny the SS route right because if the wedding didn't take place in an EU state.
