Permanent Visa for investors

16 years ago
I am an American looking to move to Bahia (Cabralia, north of Porto Seguro). My mother (American) is retired there. I am not yet near retirement but could invest in property or possibly a business. I have read about the $50,000 investment required for this visa, but I need more information.

I called the consulate here in New York, and they said they could not tell me anything at all about this and it all had to be handled in Brazil. I would have to hire a lawyer there in order to arrange things with the Banco Central. My mom is there already so that is not unmanageable, but I would like to find out what can be done here. I do intend to get my CPF when I go to Brazil in June.

I have read that this visa is fairly straightforward. Can anybody give me advice on how to go about finding out the real deal and what's the smartest way to go about this? I'm not looking to open a huge business or make a profit -- I don't have that sort of funds. I just want to live there and this sounds like a reasonable opportunity.
