Benefits
The Brazil Real Estate Investment Visa Program was introduced to stimulate foreign investment and contribute to Brazil’s long-term economic growth. By encouraging property purchases in key urban regions, the program supports national development in housing, infrastructure, and employment while offering investors a secure route to residency and citizenship.
Governed by Brazil’s federal immigration framework, the program allows qualified applicants to obtain residency through real estate ownership, with the option to apply for permanent residency and citizenship after four years. There are no language or continuous stay requirements, and family members, including a spouse and dependent children, are fully included.
Holders of a Brazilian passport enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 170+ destinations, including the UK, Canada, Australia, and the Schengen Zone — making this pathway a highly attractive option for investors seeking both lifestyle and global mobility benefits.

- Complete the client agreement, select your qualifying property, and fill in government forms.
- Provide proof of funds, clean records, and property details translated into Portuguese.
- Authorities verify your investment and conduct due diligence through the Ministry of Justice.
