You found the beach city, the business opening, the property price that made sense. Then came the wall: CRNM, CPF, VITEM. And one question: can your wife and children come too?
R$ 1,000,000
Minimum urban property investment for residency. But there is a far cheaper route.
✘ Mito
Myth: only millionaires can get Brazilian investor residency.
✓ Verdade
Truth: R$ 150,000 in a tech startup qualifies under CNIg Resolution 13/2017.
Here is the part nobody tells you: your spouse and children under 18 do not need to invest. Lei 13.445/2017 treats family reunification as a right, not a favor. One permit opens the door for all.
Invest R$ 500,000 in a Brazilian company
Register the capital with the Central Bank
File your residence permit request
Do I need to fly to Brasília to apply?
No. Many permits can be requested from inside Brazil, no consulate trip in Riyadh or Jeddah required.
Dica
To open your CNPJ, Brazil requires a registered business address. A fiscal address service lets you launch a compliant company from day one, no office lease, no wasted rent.

Brazil actively welcomes foreign capital. The process is bureaucratic but predictable once you know the steps.
Your family's legal base in Brazil starts with one well-planned application.
