About the Committee

The Immigration and Nationality Law Committee is concerned with all aspects of immigration and nationality law on a worldwide basis, including business-related immigration, family reunion policies, refugees and compassionate cases.

The Committee aims to provide a forum for the discussion of comparative data on immigration and nationality policies of countries worldwide.

The mission and focus of the committee is to provide a platform for lawyers practising immigration laws to receive input and update about the immigration laws of their country and also immigration laws and procedures of other jurisdictions. We achieve this by holding annual conferences and presentation of papers, newsletters and providing other online resources to enhance the knowledge of its member in multiple jurisdictions.

Permanent residency investment visas in Brazil: the new real estate investment visa

This article deals with permanent residency visas based on investments in real estate property in Brazil. Contrary to what may have been previously thought, Brazil’s federal legislation has a vast range of investment visas, which may grant permanent residency and a future path to nationality. Among these, it is worth mentioning the permanent residency visas based on investments in real estate property in Brazil. This sort of permanent residency was introduced under the Immigration National Council’s (Conselho Nacional de Imigração—CNIg) Legal Resolution No.36 of 2018.
