Naturalization and citizenship-by-investment: residence years, language and civics tests, dual-citizenship rules, and multi-passport planning.
Brazilian nationality can be acquired by naturalization when statutory conditions are met. The Federal Police describes ordinary naturalization as generally requiring indefinite residence, four years of residence in Brazil, Portuguese communication ability and no relevant criminal conviction.
- Ordinary naturalization is commonly framed around four years of residence, with reductions possible in specific legal cases.
- The official gov.br service is Naturalizar-se / Solicitar Naturalizacao Brasileira.
- Brazilian law allows multiple nationality in recognised cases, but applicants should verify effects in their other country of nationality.
