Brazil offers permanent residency to qualifying investors through its investor visa, often called VIPER. Bangladeshi nationals can apply on the same basis as most other foreign investors. This page sets out the current position so you can plan.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
Bangladeshi nationals are eligible. The investor visa is open to investors from outside Brazil and there is no reported nationality bar for Bangladeshi citizens. Approval rests on a qualifying investment and a sound business plan, not on nationality.
Applicants generally need to be at least 18, hold a clean criminal record and show the lawful source of the funds. Confirm the live eligibility rules with the National Immigration Council before you commit any money.
Two broad routes are commonly used. The first is a productive investment into a Brazilian company, where a business plan must be approved by the National Immigration Council. The second is a qualifying real estate purchase. A reduced threshold may apply to innovative or technology focused projects that meet stricter criteria on jobs and economic impact. Confirm the live list of qualifying routes and the current minimums with the official authority.
Once the investment is in place and the file is complete, the visa is often issued within weeks, but company setup, bank registration and document legalisation add time. Many applicants plan for several months end to end. Confirm current scheduling with the official authority.
The figures below are indicative entry points. Treat them as a starting point only and confirm the current amounts, fees and any conditions with the National Immigration Council.
