We are a family in The Netherlands with 3 kids.
Of which 2 born in the USA.
We want to emigrate to Brazil.
Buy a pousada there. And hope to get a permanent residence visa.
Were looking at Marau, Bahia.
Hoping to leave the Netherlands in the first week of November.
Can we enter on a tourist visa?
Can we buy a house while we are there on the tourist visa and than apply for a permanent residence visa?
For Bahia it is a 750.000 Reais real estate investment to apply for a permanent residence visa. If I am correct.
How long does this process take as we can maybe extend the tourist visa to 180 days?
Would we have to leave the country?
For my sons I have their birth certificates. However they have a Dutch passport.
What other paperwork would I need?
After we have sold our house here we would need to transfer the money to a bank account in Brazil to buy the house there.
However I read that you cannot open one if you dont have a residence permit.
Can you please give us more information?
It is all quite overwhelming.
We greatly appreciate it🙏🏼
