Frequently asked questions
Is the investor visa guaranteed if I invest enough?
No. Meeting the investment threshold strengthens your case, but residency is granted by Brazilian authorities. We prepare and support the strongest possible application, not a guaranteed result.
How much do I need to invest?
The company route generally requires around BRL 500,000, or about BRL 150,000 in cases that generate qualifying local jobs and innovation. Real estate investment follows separate minimums. We confirm the current figures for your situation.
Can I invest in real estate as a foreigner?
Yes. Foreigners can own urban property in Brazil, and broker services are provided under a CRECI-licensed broker. Rural and agricultural land is subject to legal restrictions under Law 5.709/71, which we flag before you commit.
Can my family be included?
Yes. Your spouse and dependent children can be included on the same family residency route, with their own document set prepared in parallel.
Are you a law firm?
No. We are your administrative, relocation and real-estate partner. For legal counsel, court representation or power-of-attorney work through a procurador, we coordinate with licensed Brazilian attorneys (OAB).
