🇧🇷 Brazil · Permanent Residency
Permanent residency and golden-visa paths: eligibility, required years, investment thresholds, and official checklists.
Brazil residence can be temporary or for an indefinite period depending on the legal basis. Residence authorization is governed by the Migration Law framework and implemented through MJSP, Federal Police and consular processes.
- MJSP states that residence authorization is granted under Migration Law 13.445/2017 and Decree 9.199/2017 when the applicant meets the relevant modality requirements.
- Study, work, investment, family and other bases have different evidence and filing routes.
- Federal Police registration and CRNM issuance are often the practical step after visa entry or residence approval.
