FAQ

Can a foreigner own property in Brazil?

Yes, foreigners can own property in Brazil with some restrictions — particularly for rural land, border areas, and agricultural properties. Urban real estate is generally open to foreign ownership. We handle the entire process: due diligence on the property title, verifying no outstanding debts or liens, drafting the purchase agreement, and registering the deed. We also assist with obtaining a Brazilian CPF (tax ID), which is required for any property transaction.

How do I get a visa or residency in Brazil?

Brazil offers several visa categories: work visas, investor visas, retirement visas, digital nomad visas, and family reunion visas. The process involves submitting documents to the Brazilian consulate in your home country first, then registering with the Federal Police upon arrival. We handle the entire process — from identifying the right visa category for your situation to preparing and submitting all documentation.

Do I need to be in Brazil to hire you?

No. Most legal procedures can be completed remotely — we use digital signatures, secure document exchange platforms, and video conferencing for consultations. For court cases, we can represent you through a power of attorney signed electronically or at a Brazilian consulate in your country. We serve clients from the United States, Europe, Asia, and worldwide.

What are your fees and how do payments work?

Our fees depend on the type and complexity of your case. We offer transparent pricing with detailed fee estimates before starting any work. For most services, we charge fixed fees so you know the total cost upfront. Payments can be made via bank transfer, Wise, PayPal, or cryptocurrency. Initial consultation is free — contact us to discuss your case and get a personalized quote.

Do you handle cases in Lajes and other cities in Rio Grande do Norte?

Yes. Our office is based in Fortaleza, Ceará, but Brazilian law allows lawyers to practice in any state — including Rio Grande do Norte. We regularly assist clients in Lajes with real estate transactions, company formation, immigration matters, and court proceedings. For most cases, everything is handled digitally through government platforms and e-signature systems. For in-person court hearings in Lajes or elsewhere in Rio Grande do Norte, we either appear directly or partner with trusted local correspondent attorneys when required.

How can I hire a lawyer for a legal matter in Lajes if I live outside Brazil?

You can hire us entirely remotely. We schedule a video call to discuss your case, and you sign a digital power of attorney. We then handle all procedures in Lajes and state agencies on your behalf, without you needing to travel.

I want to buy a rural property near Lajes. Can a foreigner own land there?

Yes, foreigners can purchase real estate in Lajes, but there are restrictions on rural land near borders. We perform a full due diligence check, verify title and zoning, and assist with registration at the local notary office — all remotely.

Do I need to go to Natal or Lajes to sign documents or appear in court?

No. We use remote notarization and digital signatures recognized in Brazil. For most matters, you never need to set foot in Lajes or Natal. We represent you before local authorities and courts via electronic filings.
