About this Visa
This visa lets you move to Brazil if you invest money in a business or real estate. You get the right to live there indefinitely as long as your investment stays active. You can work anywhere, start your own business, and bring your family. It's temporary on paper but works indefinitely in practice. You renew it as long as your investment continues. It's different from permanent residency but gives you similar freedoms.
Key Benefits
- Work any job or start a business
- Bring spouse/partner and children
- Free public healthcare (SUS) plus private insurance option
- Travel in and out freely
