Can you own 100% of Brazil?
The 2026 Legal Guide for Foreign Investors
Good news: Brazil has some of the most liberal property laws in Latin America. You can hold full title to urban real estate.
100%
Ownership rights for foreign individuals and companies in urban areas.
No visa? No problem. You can buy property on a 90-day tourist visa or even remotely from your home country.
Dica
Beware of 'Frontier Zones'. Properties within 150km of international borders require special National Security approval.
Rural land is different. Law 5.709/1971 limits how much land foreigners can own outside urban centers.
Do I need a local partner?
No. Unlike other countries, you don't need a Brazilian partner to own urban property.
The bureaucracy is a 'ritual'. Precision with the CPF, ITBI, and Cartório records is non-negotiable for a safe deal.
Secure your Brazilian investment with expert legal due diligence.
