Procedures:
What is the required procedure?
2. Transfer of Funds
Sending the investment money to your account in
Brazil
● Now that your Brazilian legal entity and bank
account are in place, we register yourself (the
investor or the principal applicant) and the
newly established legal entity with Brazil’s
Central Bank, then it is time to transfer the
funds -so called initial capital, Foreign Direct
Investment-. We will work with you to transfer
the funds which shall come through a specific
channel of Brazil’s Central bank so called RDE-
IED. we then file all the necessary registrations
with both Exchange & Central Bank.
● Time-frame is 1 to 3 weeks.
3. Investor Visa & Permanent Residency
Acquiring the investor visa & the Permanent
Residency ID.
● The investment has been wired in and now we
are ready to take the final steps to getting your
investor visa. We will now be able to fill out the
necessary documents to Ministry of Labour,
which after analysing the case will then issue
your investor visa which will be sent to any
Brazilian consulate of your choice -the one on
your city or close by-. You can then pay them a
visit and obtain this visa on your passport, and
on your first visit to Brazil afterward will register
your entry with Federal Police Police
department, and they issue your protocol of
Permanent Residency ID Card (so called RNE-
equivalent to U.S Green Card)
● Time-frame: 4 to 6 weeks from the time you
transfer the funds until the issuance of the
investor visa.
1. Your Legal Entity & Bank Account
Setting up your legal entity and opening your bank
account
● To be eligible for an investor visa a foreigner
must invest +R$ 150,000 BRL in either an
already existing Brazilian company or in a new
Brazilian company. Opening a new company is
the preferred route for those seeking permanent
residency since they will have complete control
of the money. We will take care of this process
for you in the shortest amount of time possible.
Once the company has been registered we will
also open a local bank account for your legal
entity.
● Time-frame: less than 1 month if you could visit
Brazil during this phase, and about 2 months if
you wish to do it all 100% remotely, in this case
you will need to prepare the required documents
with the Brazilian consulate in your country by
mail or in-person.
6

From your end you will need the following personal documents
● Passport (valid for +6 months)
● Certificate of Good Conduct.

which serve as a proof of investment. We will assist you in obtaining these
documents.

Investment Options:
What can I do with my investment money in Brazil?
You will be free to invest the money required for investor visa in whichever way you want. You can choose
your own investment, but it must be done in the name of your legal entity. Most foreigners, usually those who are
already purchasing real estate, take advantage of it. But you can invest in stocks or fixed income or just keep the money
as cash on savings accounts, where interest rates and dividends are much higher than those applied and seen in other
countries. There are many safe investment options in the country:
Real Estate Investment: There are no major
restrictions for foreigners to buy and sell residential,
commercial, or land property in Brazil. Property prices
have been stable after years of steady increase and for
many foreigners it is a good time to buy due to the real’s
depreciation relative to the American dollar.
Interest-rate Investment: options like the regular
savings account or in Fixed Income account is much
more attractive in Brazil than in many other countries.
As the interest rate in the country has been hovering
around the 14% mark in recent years and is currently at
13.75%.
Finance Business Operations: The process of
attaining the permanent visa already involves creating a
legal entity (a company) in the country. those who get
the visa may also choose to make their legal entities
operational. There are several sectors in Brazil that are
flourishing and are expected to continue growing such
as the agricultural, services and technology sectors
among others.

We will now be able to fill out the necessary documents to Ministry of Labour, which after analysing the case will then issue your investor visa which will be sent to any Brazilian consulate of your choice -the one on your city or close by-. You can then pay them a visit and obtain this visa on your passport, and on your first visit to Brazil afterward will register your entry with Federal Police Police department, and they issue your protocol of Permanent Residency ID Card (so called RNE- equivalent to U.S Green Card) ● Time-frame: 4 to 6 weeks from the time you transfer the funds until the issuance of the investor visa. 1. Your Legal Entity & Bank Account Setting up your legal entity and opening your bank account ● To be eligible for an investor visa a foreigner must invest +R$ 150,000 BRL in either an already existing Brazilian company or in a new Brazilian company.

Once the company has been registered we will also open a local bank account for your legal entity. ● Time-frame: less than 1 month if you could visit Brazil during this phase, and about 2 months if you wish to do it all 100% remotely, in this case you will need to prepare the required documents with the Brazilian consulate in your country by mail or in-person. 6

  • 8. Investment Options: What can I do with my investment money in Brazil? You will be free to invest the money required for investor visa in whichever way you want. You can choose your own investment, but it must be done in the name of your legal entity. Most foreigners, usually those who are already purchasing real estate, take advantage of it. But you can invest in stocks or fixed income or just keep the money as cash on savings accounts, where interest rates and dividends are much higher than those applied and seen in other countries. There are many safe investment options in the country: Real Estate Investment: There are no major restrictions for foreigners to buy and sell residential, commercial, or land property in Brazil. Property prices have been stable after years of steady increase and for many foreigners it is a good time to buy due to the real’s depreciation relative to the American dollar. Interest-rate Investment: options like the regular savings account or in Fixed Income account is much more attractive in Brazil than in many other countries. As the interest rate in the country has been hovering around the 14% mark in recent years and is currently at 13.75%. Finance Business Operations: The process of attaining the permanent visa already involves creating a legal entity (a company) in the country. those who get the visa may also choose to make their legal entities operational. There are several sectors in Brazil that are flourishing and are expected to continue growing such as the agricultural, services and technology sectors among others. 8
