Two thresholds — not one
The nearly 3.3x difference depends not on the capital amount itself but on the nature of the company’s activity.
What the process consists of
There’s no formal job-creation requirement, but the investment plan usually includes employment targets — visa renewal is tied to meeting that plan.
How the process runs

Frequent questions
Why does the site show ≈$27,000 rather than ≈$90,000?
The headline figure is the reduced threshold for innovation, research, or activity of significant economic/social relevance. For standard commercial activity, a higher threshold from R$500,000 applies, shown in the table above.
Is job creation mandatory?
Per the available data there’s no formal legal requirement, but the investment plan usually includes employment targets — maintaining the visa is tied to meeting the plan as a whole.
How is genuinely innovative activity confirmed?
This page doesn’t detail the exact confirmation mechanism — verify criteria with the appointed firm before applying.
What makes capital count as foreign investment?
Per the available data, confirmation that funds genuinely entered Brazil and were registered with the Central Bank is required — not merely deposited into a company account.
Why is there no direct link to the official gov.br portal?
The official gov.br/mre portal returned a captcha instead of content on direct fetch as of the checked date — this page’s source is secondary, specialised.
Does this visa grant Brazilian citizenship immediately?
No — this page covers a path from temporary status to indefinite residence; citizenship isn’t separately covered.
