Common Questions
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 Vereda and other cities in Bahia?
Yes. Our office is based in Fortaleza, Ceará, but Brazilian law allows lawyers to practice in any state — including Bahia. We regularly assist clients in Vereda 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 Vereda or elsewhere in Bahia, we either appear directly or partner with trusted local correspondent attorneys when required.
Can a foreigner hire a Brazilian lawyer for a matter in Vereda without being physically present?
Yes, absolutely. We represent international clients entirely remotely. For any legal matter in Vereda—such as a property transfer or family law issue—we can act via video conference and digital powers of attorney. You do not need to travel to Vereda or anywhere in Brazil.
What if I want to buy a farm or inherit a house located in Vereda? How do you handle due diligence and registration?
Our firm conducts all due diligence remotely, reviewing property documents at the Vereda notary and land registry via official online systems. We draft and file all deeds, obtain necessary clearances, and arrange digital or postal signatures. The entire process is handled without your physical presence.
Do I need to go to Salvador, the state capital, or to Vereda to sign documents or appear in court?
No travel is required. Brazilian law now permits remote notarial acts and virtual court appearances. Your digital power of attorney allows us to represent you before any authority in Bahia, including registries in Vereda or the capital Salvador. We coordinate everything by video call.
