Brazil Golden Visa Lawyer – Real Estate Investment & Residency

Brazil's real estate investment visa — commonly called the Golden Visa, investor visa, or VIPER — grants residency when you invest in qualifying urban property. The standard threshold is R$1,000,000, reduced to R$700,000 in qualifying North and Northeast regions. Eligible family members may be included in the application.

You generally need a qualifying investment in urban real estate, funds remitted from abroad and properly documented through authorized financial channels, and complete immigration documentation. We assess eligibility and the applicable requirements for your case.

Brazil does not offer direct citizenship by investment. A qualifying investment can provide a route to legal residency; naturalization is a separate process subject to the legal requirements applicable to your case.

Timing depends on property selection, legal due diligence, fund transfer, purchase and registration, document preparation, authority processing, and Federal Police registration. We provide a tailored estimate after reviewing your case.

Eligible family members may be able to obtain residency through family reunification with the principal investor. We assess each person's eligibility and required documentation.

Entry requirements depend on nationality, travel document, and the rules in force at the time of travel. Some residency steps, including Federal Police registration, require you to be in Brazil in person.
