Contract and Financing
Buying property in Brazil is a structured and transparent process. The path to your new home involves a careful review of documentation, direct price negotiation, and a choice between paying in full or utilizing the various real estate financing options available in the country.
Required Documentation
To purchase property or land in Brazil as a non‑Brazilian, you’ll need to provide:
• A valid passport (with at least 6 months before expiry)
• Your Brazilian tax ID (CPF) Click Here for more information about this.
• Proof of address (in your home country or Brazil)
• Proof of income or funds (bank statements or income documents)
• Marital status documents (marriage certificate or divorce decree, if applicable)
Additional documents may be requested depending on the bank, notary, or type of property. I’ll guide you through exactly what is needed for your specific purchase so there are no surprises.
Payment Methods
For non‑Brazilians, payments for property or land in Brazil can be made in the following ways:
• International bank transfer (from your home-country account to a Brazilian account)
• Brazilian bank account in your name (if you have one)
• Financing through a Brazilian bank (subject to approval and specific requirements)
• Developer or seller installment plans, when available
All payments must be made in Brazilian Reais (BRL), and funds must be traceable to comply with Brazilian banking and anti‑money‑laundering regulations. I’ll coordinate with you, the bank, and the seller to ensure your payment method is secure and properly documented.
