Brazil Investor Visa: R$500,000 to Residency
Passport in 4 years, if the paperwork is right
Por Lucas Ribeiro Cavalcante — OAB/CE 44.673
Your money already landed in Sao Paulo. Then the lawyer asks: was it registered with the Central Bank? Silence. The capital is in Brazil, but your residency file is already dead.
R$ 500.000
Minimum investment in a Brazilian company. Real estate requires R$ 1.000.000
Brazil does not sell residency. It grants it to capital that arrives through a documented, traceable channel. The threshold is the easy part. The paper trail is where files collapse.
✘ Mito
Myth: transfer the money first, sort out the visa later
✓ Verdade
Truth: wire it wrong and you fund a company with no residency
Register capital in RDE-IED
Update the contrato social
Prove economic relevance
Dica
Reverse the order. Incorporate the Brazilian company, get the CNPJ, register the foreign investor at the Central Bank, and only then wire the funds. Same money, opposite outcome.
60-90 days
Extra delay when the business plan is returned for clarification by CNIg
