I'd like to explore the option of immigrating to Brazil as an investor. Have done some research on the web and have found that you need amounts anywhere from $50,000 to $250,000. I'd be coming as a single adult, not as part of a company and I understand that I can invest $50,000 to start a business.

Can this investment be in real-estate (office space for example)? Do I have to employ anyone? Does it have to be a specific kind of business? Where can I get some specifics on what is required?

Thank you.

Hello,

I am not sure but a friend of mine from Australia is here on such a visa. My understanding is that you have to provide employment.

The Brazilian embassy/consulates could inform you best, but you can also talk to visa service companies that get visas for Brazil. They should know.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you have to provide employment to several Brazilians. There is also the option of getting a retirement visa -- but then you have to surrender a boat load of money to a long term savings account.

Dear Bend,

for everything there is a solution.

Better to have somebody already expirienced to help you here in Rio de Janeiro (if you would like that place for an investment)?
Would like to offer my help to you.

I am a German guy living 4 Years here with a running small investment. Maybe we can come together ?
