Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for the Golden Visa in Brazil, applicants must meet basic eligibility criteria. This includes being a non-Brazilian citizen and making a qualifying investment in real estate. The investment must be verifiable and meet the minimum threshold set by the Brazilian government for residency by investment. Approval is not guaranteed and is up to the discretion of the Brazilian Consulate and Ministry of Justice.
Applicants must submit a range of supporting documents to complete the Golden Visa application.
These typically include:
- Valid Passport
Proof of income or financial stability
Proof you purchased a property in Brazil with your own funds
- Proof that you’re the designated owner of the property
- Proof that funds were wired from your international bank account for this specific transaction
- Birth certificate (if parents name isn’t stated within Passport)
It’s essential to ensure all documents are properly translated and notarized as per consulate or SEF (Federal Police) guidelines. Federal Police or consulate can ask for further information at their own discretion.
Approval is not guaranteed and is up to the discretion of the Brazilian Consulate and Ministry of Justice.
The primary financial requirement for a Brazilian Golden Visa is a minimum real estate investment of R$700,000 BRL for areas within the North and Northeast region of Brazil.
However, in areas outside of these regions, the minimum may be increased to R$1,000,000 BRL. The investment can be made in a single property or across multiple units, as long as the total meets the required threshold.
The application process for the Golden Visa typically takes 2–4 months from submission, depending on consulate processing times and the completeness of your documentation. After initial approval, your name will be published in the official government gazette. You will then be contacted to schedule an interview with the Brazilian consulate. One of the final steps in the process involves registering with the Brazilian Federal Police upon arrival, where your residency status will be officially finalised.

Brazil Golden Visa:
Why Choose Us Over Going Solo
1. Gain Legal Residency Through Investment
Brazil’s Golden Visa offers foreign nationals the opportunity to secure legal residency by making a qualifying investment in the country. Unlike tourist or temporary visas, this route allows for long-term residence tied directly to an economic contribution — most commonly through real estate.
What this means: You can live in Brazil legally and securely with a renewable residence permit based on your investment, aligning your lifestyle with legal peace of mind.
Our role: We guide you through every step — from verifying eligible investment opportunities to preparing your application and liaising with Brazilian authorities.
2. Invest in Property and Put Down Roots
The most common pathway to qualify for the Golden Visa is through real estate investment. By purchasing property that meets the government’s minimum investment threshold — currently R$700,000 BRL within North & Northeast Brazil and outside of these areas, R$1,000,000 BRL — applicants become eligible for residency.
Benefits beyond residency:
Own a tangible asset in one of Latin America’s most dynamic markets
Generate rental income or use the property as a personal base
Participate in long-term property appreciation
We provide: Direct access to trusted real estate professionals, legal due diligence, and bilingual support to ensure your investment is compliant, secure, and future-proof.
3. Flexible Residency With Minimal Physical Presence
The Brazil Golden Visa offers significant flexibility for those who don’t intend to live full-time in the country. To maintain your residency status, you are only required to spend 14 days in Brazil every 2 years.
Ideal for: Investors, entrepreneurs, retirees, and global citizens who want a Latin American base without needing to relocate full time.
Our service includes: Ongoing compliance guidance and reminders, so you meet all legal requirements without needing to track every detail yourself.
4. A Path Toward Brazilian Citizenship
Residency through the Golden Visa can lead to permanent residency and, eventually, Brazilian citizenship. After maintaining legal residence for four years, you become eligible to apply for naturalization. In some cases, that timeline can be reduced — for example, through marriage or family ties.
Benefits of Brazilian citizenship:
A strong passport with access to over 170 countries
Full rights within the Mercosur region
Ability to vote and participate fully in civic life
We assist long-term: From initial residency to citizenship, we help you understand and navigate every milestone clearly and lawfully.
5. End-to-End Support You Can Rely On
Navigating Brazil’s legal and bureaucratic systems on your own can be challenging — especially across languages, time zones, and changing regulations.
We provide:
Personalized investment guidance based on your goals
Full visa application support, including document preparation and translations
Local legal representation and coordination with immigration officials
After-approval support for renewals and future planning
Why clients choose us: We’re not just service providers — we’re long-term partners dedicated to helping you build a legal, secure, and sustainable life in Brazil.
