How it works in Brazil
A digital bank account can be opened free of charge and remotely using a CPF; traditional banks charge 20–50 reais a month and require an in-person visit to the branch. An Ltda company is registered with the Junta Comercial; the tax number CNPJ — Receita Federal; a foreigner can own it outright.
What we need from you to get started
- CPF and proof of address
- International passport
- For a company — articles of incorporation, notarization, and registration in the state and municipality
Where things most often go wrong
- —Paid for opening an account that a digital bank opens for free
- —Didn’t account for monthly bookkeeping: it’s mandatory and costs 500–2,000 reais per month
For business and banking, we don’t yet have an executor in Brazil: the price we mention it after the breakdown, and we bring up the free digital account ourselves.
Fees, processing times, and institutional requirements change several times per year, which is why they are not listed here: we verify and quote them as of the date of submission.
