Brazil, a country renowned for its vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality, has recently made permanent residency more accessible for foreigners, including Indians. With an application cost of just around ₹27,000, Indians can now pursue a chance to live, work, and study in Brazil indefinitely.

What Is Brazil Permanent Residency?

Permanent residency (PR) in Brazil allows foreigners to live in the country without time restrictions. It also grants the right to work, study, and enjoy most of the benefits offered to Brazilian residents. While citizenship is a separate process, obtaining PR is the crucial first step for those aiming to settle in Brazil long-term.

Pathways to Brazil PR

There are multiple routes to obtain Brazilian permanent residency:
  • Investment: Investing in a Brazilian business or real estate is a common way to qualify.
  • Employment: Securing skilled employment with sponsorship can lead to a temporary residence visa, which may later be converted to permanent residency.
  • Family Ties: Marrying a Brazilian citizen or having a Brazilian child qualifies you for PR.
  • Retirement: Retired foreigners with a stable pension can apply for a temporary residence permit, which may lead to PR after two years of living in Brazil.
  • Education and Local Employment: Graduates from accredited Brazilian institutions with local employment can obtain a two-year temporary permit, paving the way for PR.

Eligibility Criteria for Indians

To be eligible for Brazil PR, Indian applicants must meet certain requirements:
  • Investment of BRL 700,000 (₹81 lakh) in a Brazilian business.
  • Proof of funds, a business plan, and maintenance of the investment.
  • Skilled professionals such as researchers, professors, or scientists can qualify with a valid job offer or employment contract.
  • Retired individuals must demonstrate a stable pension income, typically around USD 2,000 per month (~₹1.76 lakh).
  • General requirements include a valid passport, police clearance certificate, proof of legal entry into Brazil, and documentation proving employment, investment, or family ties.
Applicants must maintain their residency status by not being absent from Brazil for more than two consecutive years.
