Each stage has its own eligibility requirements.
The investor must spend at least 14 days in Brazil in each two-year period. That minimum alone is insufficient for naturalisation, whose ordinary clock runs from indefinite residence.
- Benefits
- An initial four-year residence authorisation, with an application for indefinite residence if the investment and other conditions are maintained.
- Eligibility
- An individual buying completed or qualifying under-construction urban property. Several properties can meet the threshold, but each joint applicant must meet their own investment requirement.
- Requirements
- BRL 1 million, reduced to BRL 700,000 in the North and Northeast. Supply title or registered purchase documents, authorised-bank transfer evidence and construction approvals where relevant.

Brazilian citizenship · ordinary 4-year basis
Ordinarily complete four years of qualifying residence measured from indefinite-residence registration. Portuguese communication, civil capacity, criminal-record and actual-residence conditions apply. Statutory reductions must be established individually.
The ordinary nationality period does not start simply from a property purchase. The property visa’s 14 days per two years is insufficient for ordinary naturalisation.
Each stage requires its own qualifying conditions and decision. The years shown are eligibility periods, not approval times.
