FAQS
INVESTOR INTELLIGENCE
What is the minimum investment for the Brazil Golden Visa?
The minimum investment for the Brazilian Golden Visa (VIPER) is R$700,000 (approx. $125k USD) for real estate located in the Santa Catarina region.
For properties in other states, the federal requirement increases to R$1,000,000. This investment grants immediate residency rights for the investor and their family.
How long until I get Brazilian Citizenship?
Investors are eligible to apply for Brazilian citizenship after 4 years of permanent residency. This timeline can be reduced to just 1 year if the investor has a Brazilian spouse or child. Once naturalized, you receive a Brazilian passport, which offers visa-free access to over 170 countries.
Do I have to live in Brazil to keep the visa?
No, you do not need to live in Brazil full-time. The Golden Visa program only requires you to visit Brazil once every two years to maintain your status. This low physical presence requirement makes it an ideal “Plan B” residency for investors who wish to remain in their home country.
Can I rent my property on Airbnb?
Yes, you maintain full ownership rights to rent your property. Balneário Camboriú is a high-demand tourism hub, and many investors generate 6-10% annual yields through short-term rentals while holding the asset for residency purposes.
