PERMANENT VISA - INVESTOR

Foreign investors may apply for a permanent visa in order to live and personally run their businesses in Brazil. The requirements are listed in the Normative Resolution n° 84, 10/02/2009 of CNIg, whose text is available at the electronic address of the Ministry of Labour and Employment (www.mte.gov.br/trab_estrang_ing/in_rn_20090210_84.pdf).

Permanent visas based on investment may be granted to applicants who will invest a minimum of R$ 150,000.00 (one hundred and fifty thousand reais) in Brazil, which must be proved by a statement issued by the Brazilian Central Bank.

Authorisation for this type of visa must be requested by the applicant, or his/her representative directly in Brazil by the Ministry of Labour and Employment.

The Consulate will only issue the visa once the Ministry of Labour and Employment authorizes the Consulate to do so.
