INVESTOR VISA · BRAZIL
Buy on this coast and you may qualify for residency.
Property investment in Ceará sits in the lower threshold bracket reserved for the North and Northeast. We tell you which listings qualify — and hand the filing to specialist counsel.
What the rule asks for
Investment threshold
Real-estate investment in the North and Northeast regions — Ceará included — qualifies at a lower threshold than the rest of Brazil. Indicative: R$700,000 here versus R$1,000,000 elsewhere.
Property status
Urban property, built or under construction, with a clean registry record. Rural land and irregular plots do not qualify.
Who is covered
The applicant plus spouse and dependent children on the same application.
What it grants
The residence permit provided for in Normative Resolution CNIg 36/2018, renewable and convertible to indefinite status, with a path to naturalisation over time.
From first call to residence card
Eligibility call

Property and documents
Registry certificate, seller checks and the full dossier translated into your language.
CPF, bank and currency
Brazilian tax number, an account in your name and the transfer executed by an institution authorised by the Central Bank of Brazil, with the exchange contract the application requires. Wise and PayPal are not accepted for this route.
Deed and registration
Signing at the notary (in person or by proxy) and registration of the deed in your name.
Application
Filed with the immigration authority by specialist counsel, with the investment evidence attached.
Residence card
Biometrics in Fortaleza and your card issued. Family included on the same file.
WHO DOES WHAT
We coordinate. Specialists sign.
The visa file is prepared and filed by immigration counsel, not by us. The transfer goes through an institution authorised by the Central Bank of Brazil, with the exchange contract in your name. Our job is to keep the three of them on the same calendar — and to tell you, in your language, what each one needs from you and when.
- Immigration counsel — eligibility opinion and filing
- Currency institution authorised by the Central Bank — transfer and exchange contract
- Notary and land registry — deed in your name
- BeachEstate — property, dossier, translation and calendar
Questions buyers actually ask
Do I have to live in Brazil?
No minimum stay is imposed at entry, but long absences can affect renewal. Counsel advises on your specific case.
Can I rent the property out?
Yes. Rental income is taxable in Brazil and usually reportable at home — our rental manager and your accountant coordinate.
Can I buy with someone else?
Joint purchase is possible, but the threshold applies per applicant. We model both scenarios in the simulation.
How long does it take?
From signed offer to residence card, typically three to five months — most of it document preparation, not queueing.
Would your budget qualify?
Tell us the amount you have available and where it sits today — we come back with the eligible listings and counsel's first read.
