The person who wants to become a Brazilian citizen must apply by himself/herself, but we can assist them with this process. If a person under the age of 18 wants to naturalize then the parents or legal guardians must file the application on their behalf.

The normal process is for 4 years, however, there are special cases that take 1­3 years instead. If you have a Brazilian spouse, child, or parent, you can apply for citizenship after one year. Two years for those possessing certain professional, scientific, or artistic skills specified by the Ministry of Justice, and three years for individuals of high net worth or company owners. For more details about this, please contact us.

Investor visa holders may apply for Brazilian Citizenship after 4 years of official legal residency in Brazil for normal cases or 1­3 years in special cases. One year of official legal residency is considered at least 6 months plus one day of stay in the country out of each year, not necessarily as a continuous stay. As long as the foreigner has not stayed out of Brazil for more than 18 months during this 4 years period and has some elementary knowledge of the Portuguese language, they will be able to obtain citizenship.

When you apply for the visa they will ask you for a business plan to evaluate the effects of your investment in the country. However, you don’t have the obligation to execute the business plan in its exact form. We will help you make a plausible and achievable plan for this end.

Yes. Hiring 10 employees would be really good for the country and will greatly increase your chances, however that is not a mandatory requirement. As long as the investment is in Brazil (and you don’t repatriate the capital) it should be alright. You can explain in your case why you don’t have employees yet and that you expect to grow in the next years and the authorities will most likely accept it.

The most common due date of the invoice is 21 days after it was generated. For example: If it was issued on the 1st day of the month, you have until the 22nd day to pay it.
