Residency Through Real Estate Investment
Brazil's Golden Visa program allows foreign nationals to obtain permanent residency by investing in Brazilian real estate. With a minimum investment of R$1,000,000 (approximately USD $200,000), you and your family can secure the right to live, work, and build a future in one of the world's most dynamic countries.
The program is designed to attract foreign capital to Brazil's booming property market while offering investors a straightforward path to residency. Unlike many other countries' golden visa programs, Brazil's version grants permanent residency from day one, with no need for temporary visa stages.
Whether you're interested in a luxury apartment in Sao Paulo, a beachfront property in Florianopolis, or commercial real estate in Rio de Janeiro, our team will guide you through every step of the investment and immigration process.
The Golden Visa is particularly attractive for investors seeking a stable, long-term residency option in Latin America. Brazil offers a favorable tax environment for foreign residents, a growing economy, and one of the most welcoming cultures in the world.
As permanent residents, Golden Visa holders can live and work freely in Brazil, access public healthcare and education, and after four years of residency, apply for Brazilian citizenship.
To qualify for the Golden Visa, applicants must meet the following criteria.

The following documents are needed for your Golden Visa application. Our team assists with preparation, apostille, and certified translation of all documents.
Yes, you are free to rent out your investment property and earn rental income. Many Golden Visa holders generate returns from short-term vacation rentals or long-term leases. The only requirement is that the property remains registered in your name and meets the minimum investment threshold.
Yes, you can combine multiple property investments to meet the R$1,000,000 minimum threshold. All properties must be legally registered in your name and the combined value must meet or exceed the requirement. This flexibility allows you to diversify your real estate portfolio across different cities or property types.
Golden Visa holders can apply for Brazilian citizenship after four years of continuous permanent residency. You'll need to demonstrate basic Portuguese proficiency and have no criminal record. Brazil allows dual citizenship, so you won't need to renounce your current nationality.
Your residency is based on the value at the time of purchase, not current market value. As long as the property was valued at or above R$1,000,000 when acquired, and remains in your name, market fluctuations will not affect your residency status.
