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.

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.
