Ordinarily, you need to live in Brazil for four years before you are eligible to apply for citizenship. However, the four-year residence requirement is reduced if any of the following apply to you:
- You have a Brazilian child or spouse
- You have outstanding professional, scientific or artistic capacity
- You own real estate in Brazil
According to the Alien Statute, your period of living in Brazil needs to be:
- 1 year if you have a Brazilian child or spouse
- 2 years if you are a foreigner recommended by their professional, scientific or artistic capacity
- 3 years if you own real estate in Brazil
