About the country
Brazil is Latin America's largest economy. Buying urban property here gives grounds for an investor residence permit: the first permit is issued for 4 years, and the status can then be made indefinite. Outside the tourist centres life is inexpensive and family members are allowed. For a long stay, weigh the risks: one of the world's most complex tax systems and high crime in certain regions.
Worth knowing
- !One of the world's most complex and labour-intensive tax systems - 184+ days in a year makes you a tax resident, taxed on worldwide income
- !Elevated crime in a number of large cities and regions
- !To keep residence you must spend at least 14 days in Brazil in every two years and hold the investment: without it the status is lost
- !Only time with indefinite residence counts towards citizenship, and you have to actually live in the country
