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
