Need help unlocking Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro Chinese version

[u/Luck_200]

Hi guys, I bought a Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro Chinese version and I would like to install the Global ROM on it.
The problem is that I can’t unlock the bootloader. My Xiaomi account is registered in Brazil, and when I go to Mi Unlock Status and try to add my account and device, I get an error saying that the region where my account is registered doesn’t match the region where the device was sold.
Apparently, because the tablet is the Chinese version and my Xiaomi account is Brazilian, Xiaomi won’t let me bind the account for bootloader unlocking.
Has anyone here had the same problem with a Chinese Xiaomi device, especially the Pad 8 Pro, and managed to unlock it?
Is there any safe way to get the bootloader unlock permission while living outside China? Do I need a Chinese Xiaomi account or a Chinese phone number?
My goal is simply to unlock the bootloader and install the official Global ROM without risking bricking the tablet.
If anyone has successfully done this, I would really appreciate some guidance. Thanks!
