1. Where do I start?
The Brazilian government launched, in March 2026, Brazil’s Single Investment Window, a portal designed to serve as a single point of entry for services, opportunities, and guidance for those interested in investing in Brazil.
Brazil’s Single Investment Window is a transformative national platform that streamlines investment processes and helps modernise the investment landscape in Brazil.
