Interactive calculator to estimate acquisition taxes (ITBI, Notary, Registry fees) and evaluate your eligibility for the Brazilian Investor Visa.
💡OAB Lawyer's Practical Interpretation
“Buying property is one of the most secure paths to permanent residency in Brazil. However, keep in mind that the Federal Police strictly requires proof of the legal origin of funds and an official bank transfer through the Central Bank (Registro de Capital Estrangeiro). Handing over cash or transferring funds directly to the seller's personal account without an official exchange contract will lead to visa rejection. Always perform legal due diligence before paying any deposit.”
