The entry of foreign capital in Brazil undergo to a complex legislation, whose attendance is inevitable to the financial results that can be used by the investor (distribution and transfer of profits, the share of capital, reinvestment, and others).
The legislator created the demand to register in the Brazilian Central Bank (Banco Central do Brasil, BCB - in Portuguese), all the foreign capital entered in the country (Law 4.131/62 and Circular 3689/2013 of BCB). Referred norms, regulated for resolutions, circulars and normative ordinances, give an order to the procedures that must be adopted by the investors and representants, among with public authorities, congruent between themselves, but with complexability and repercussion on business that significantly grows responsibility from lawyers, stewards and accountants.
For example, the acquisition process of a Brazilian rural property from foreign people depends on the compliance of formalities and physicals conditions of the property, as like the localization, dimension and amount of lands already acquired (for others) foreign people in that same geographic space, in this sense a dedicated research is necessary for which case.
