A Brazilian national does not need, and cannot use, the investor residence visa for Brazil. The visa is a route for foreign nationals to obtain residence. Citizens already have full residence rights from birth or naturalisation.
If you are a Brazilian citizen interested in investor migration, the relevant routes are those of other countries, not a residence visa for your own country.
For foreign nationals, the Brazil investor visa runs through business investment or qualifying real estate under the National Immigration Council rules. For a Brazilian citizen these routes are not applicable.
A person who is both Brazilian and foreign is still Brazilian for the purpose of residence in Brazil and does not need an investor visa. Confirm any specific dual nationality question with the authority.
