VITEM XIV requires proof of at least US$1,500 per month in foreign-source income, or US$18,000 in savings shown on one current statement in your own name. Accepted formats include employment letters on company letterhead, signed contractor agreements with invoices paired with bank deposits, the 3 most recent months of bank statements, Wise and Payoneer transaction histories, and payroll records. Income documents are private documents, so none of them needs an apostille on either route. Income from Brazilian sources is disqualifying under Resolução Normativa CNIg nº 45/2021.

Camila strengthens your application package, personalised to you, and helps you avoid the lengthy **cartas de exigência** that immigration officers send. Two real ones, from people who applied on their own: Carta de exigência 3 pages · 9 items · May 2026 Proof of income, the contract and the passport never sent. Read the letter Carta de exigência 2 pages · 5 items · July 2026 Translations sent without the originals, and a blank justification. Read the letter Names, process numbers and timestamps have been removed. Everything the Ministry asked for is exactly as it was written. ### What Camila does on your case - A written petition A legal argument for your case citing RN 45/2021, signed under OAB/CE 50.065. - Sworn translations By a tradutor público, filed with the originals. Asked for in both letters - Forms checked before filing The justification filled in, the right form, a payment slip that matches. 3 errors in the letters - Your Brazilian criminal records Federal, plus one per state you have lived in. Camila obtains them. - Your document list, in order What each is, where to get it, how long it takes, what needs an apostille. - A lawyer who has read your file Answers from the lawyer holding your case, not a help desk. - The filing, and what comes back She files as your representative and answers the Ministry in your name. The Federal Police step, after approval Approval is not the last thing that happens. Your residence has to be registered in person with the Polícia Federal before your RNM card exists. **The documents are not the ones you already sent.** The Federal Police ask for their own set. **What is required differs by state.** São Paulo does not ask for what Florianópolis asks for. **The appointment is the hard part.** Slots open without warning and go fast. Camila books yours. ## The Two Income Routes RN 45/2021 offers two alternative financial tests. An applicant only has to satisfy one. Income is just one piece of the full [Brazil digital nomad visa requirements](https://getbrazilvisa.com/requirements-digital-nomad-visa-brazil). | Route | Threshold | Best For | | --- | --- | --- | | Monthly income | US$1,500/month foreign-source income | Employees, freelancers with consistent retainers, established remote workers | | Savings | US$18,000 balance held ≥3 months | Irregular earners, between contracts, entrepreneurs recently exited, sabbatical applicants | ## 8 Accepted Ways to Prove Income, Ranked You only need to satisfy **one** of the two financial tests above (US$1,500/month or US$18,000 in savings). Below are the eight documents and methods analysts actually accept, ordered from the cleanest to approve to the hardest to document. Most successful packages pair one primary method with bank statements (#4): bank statements alone are rarely sufficient, because analysts also want a contractual document tying the deposits to a qualifying foreign employer or client. 1. ### Foreign-employer salary package Best for: Salaried remote employees of a non-Brazilian company What's required: Employment letter on company letterhead (position, remote confirmation, monthly USD-equivalent salary, signed and dated within 30 days) plus 3 to 6 sequential payslips, paired with bank statements showing the deposits. Strongest 2. ### The US$18,000 savings route Best for: Irregular earners, applicants between contracts, entrepreneurs, sabbatical applicants What's required: A bank or cash-equivalent account holding at least US$18,000 (or local-currency equivalent) continuously for 3 or more months. A bank letter confirming the holder and the balance-holding period is a strong addition. (Article 4, RN 45/2021.) Strongest: bypasses monthly scrutiny entirely 3. ### Foreign-client freelance contracts and invoices Best for: Freelancers and independent contractors with foreign clients What's required: Signed service contracts stating rate and term, plus invoices, each paired with the matching bank deposit so the analyst can trace client to payment. Strong when the paper trail is complete 4. ### The 3 most recent months of official bank statements Best for: Everyone: the universal backbone every package needs What's required: Official, stamped or digitally signed statements (never screenshots), sequential months, with deposits that match your contracts, invoices, or payslips. Required backbone: pairs with every method above 5. ### Wise or Payoneer transaction history Best for: Contractors paid in USD, EUR, or GBP through fintech rails What's required: The official in-app statement PDF (not a screenshot) plus the corresponding transfers into your home-country bank, showing the full flow: foreign client to Wise/Payoneer to bank account. Strong supporting evidence 6. ### Combining multiple foreign income streams Best for: Applicants whose salary or freelance income alone falls short of US$1,500/month What's required: Add together several signed foreign contracts, for example a part-time salary plus freelance contracts, each with matching bank deposits, so the combined total clears US$1,500/month. A contract with a company is the strongest evidence; contracts with individuals are assessed case by case, depending on the rest of your profile. Accepted when each stream is documented 7. ### Most recent annual tax return Best for: Self-employed applicants with 12+ months of history What's required: Your most recently filed return, used to corroborate and paired with current bank statements. Not accepted as the sole proof of income. Supporting only 8. ### Crypto savings in USDC or USDT Best for: Savings-route applicants who hold stablecoins What's required: An official bank statement showing at least US$18,000 held in USDC or USDT in your name. Other coins, exchange screenshots and wallet balances do not count, and crypto trading, staking or yield is not accepted as monthly income. Accepted on the US$18,000 savings route only ## Accepted Formats: Document by Document | Document | Who It's For | What's Required | Common Problems | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Employment letter | Salaried remote employees | On company letterhead, signed, dated within 30 days | Missing job title, missing salary figure, signed by HR without authority | | Payslips (3-6 mo) | Salaried employees | Sequential months, same employer | Missing months, variable amounts unexplained | | Bank statements (3-6 mo) | Everyone | Official, stamped or digitally signed | Unofficial screenshots, missing months, unexplained large withdrawals | | Service contracts | Freelancers, contractors | Signed by both parties, states rate and term | Expired contracts, contracts without compensation clauses | | Invoices (foreign clients) | Freelancers | Paired with a signed contract and bank deposits | Invoices without a contract or without matching deposit records | | Wise/Payoneer statements | Contractors using fintech rails | Full account history | Fintech statement without corresponding bank deposits | | Tax return | Self-employed with 12+ months history | Most recent filed year | Used as sole evidence; needs pairing with current statements | ## Wise and Payoneer Statements Wise and Payoneer account statements are accepted at most consulates and in MigranteWeb when combined with bank statements. These fintechs are particularly useful for freelancers receiving payments in USD, EUR, or GBP who then transfer to a home-country bank account. Practical Interpretation Generate the official account statement PDF from within the Wise or Payoneer app (not a screenshot). The PDF includes a unique reference number and can be verified by the platform's support team if an analyst has questions. Pair the Wise/Payoneer statement with the corresponding deposits in your primary bank so the full flow is visible: *Foreign client → Wise/Payoneer → home-country bank account*. ## Cryptocurrency Crypto counts on one route only: the **US$18,000 savings requirement**. It counts when the funds are held in **USDC or USDT**, the dollar-denominated stablecoins, and appear on an **official bank statement** from the institution holding them. - Counts: at least US$18,000 in USDC or USDT on an official bank statement in your name - Does not count: Bitcoin, Ether or any other coin, whatever its value - Does not count: exchange screenshots, wallet addresses or app balances instead of an official statement - Does not count: crypto trading profits, staking or yield as the US$1,500 monthly income Holding other coins? Convert at least US$18,000 into USDC or USDT, or into cash, and hold it where an official bank statement can show it before you apply. If a client outside Brazil pays you in crypto under a signed contract, the contract is what qualifies on the income route; convert the payments to fiat so the deposits show in your bank statements. ## Savings Route: US$18,000 on One Current Statement The savings route eliminates the monthly income scrutiny entirely. The requirement is straightforward: one current statement of a bank or equivalent account in your own name showing at least US$18,000 (or local-currency equivalent) in liquid funds. No six-month history and no source-of-funds trail is filed; a consulate occasionally asks for more, which is the exception. Official Rule Article 4 of RN 45/2021 frames the savings route as an alternative to monthly income. The balance must be liquid: cash or cash-equivalent. Locked-term deposits generally qualify if documentation shows continuity; brokerage accounts holding stocks qualify only if the analyst accepts them as liquid (mixed practice). Crypto wallets typically do not qualify without conversion to fiat. Practical Interpretation Provide a bank statement showing the balance on three separate dates across the 3-month window, or a single statement showing the full account history. A bank letter confirming the account in the applicant's name and the balance-holding period is a strong addition. Start my free assessment Camila reads every case herself. ## Apostille and Translation Requirements Only public documents need an apostille. Income documents are private (bank statements, contracts, employment and verification letters, invoices, payslips), so none of them is apostilled on either route. Translation depends on the route: - MigranteWeb: bank statements are usually filed as issued, untranslated; the work contract needs a Portuguese translation, and a reviewed machine translation is accepted - Consulates: each consulate sets its own translation rules; many read income documents as issued, and we confirm what yours requires - Employment letters and contracts: never apostilled, since they are private documents - Wise/Payoneer statements: accepted as issued (private documents, so apostille does not apply) The apostille applies to public documents such as your birth certificate and criminal record certificate. Country-by-country procedures on our [apostille guide](https://getbrazilvisa.com/brazil-digital-nomad-visa-apostille-guide). ## Irregular Income: What Freelancers Actually Submit Freelancers with variable monthly income face the hardest documentation challenge. Three workable approaches: 1. **Show a 3-month record where every month clears US$1,500.** This requires curating the submission window to include only your strongest months. 2. **Use the savings route.** Show US$18,000 in a single account in your own name on one current statement, then apply. 3. **Combine active income + savings.** While not explicitly contemplated in RN 45/2021, a strong savings cushion alongside near-threshold income typically satisfies analysts even if one month dips slightly.

Not sufficient on its own. | | Dividends from foreign company | No | Passive income; does not meet the active remote-work requirement on its own | | Crypto savings in USDC or USDT | No | Official bank statement showing at least US$18,000 in USDC or USDT | | Crypto trading, staking or yield income | No | Not accepted as the monthly income; other coins and exchange screenshots do not count | | Brazilian employer salary | No | Disqualifies the application entirely | | Brazilian client invoices | No | Brazilian-source income is disqualifying | | Loans (personal or business) | No | Not income under Brazilian tax/immigration law | | One-time family transfer | No | Not recurring; doesn't support digital nomad definition | | Single one-off project payment | No | Not recurring income | Pension and retirement income falls in the same passive category and does not qualify on its own. Retirees with a lifetime pension of US$2,000/month or more should look at the [Brazil retirement visa](https://getbrazilvisa.com/brazil-retirement-visa) instead.

In practice, consulates and MigranteWeb analysts want to see each month at or above US$1,500. The regulation is phrased as 'at least US$1,500 per month,' not 'averaging US$1,500.' If any month falls short, add supplementary documentation or switch to the savings route to remove the ambiguity. A clean 3-month record where every month clears the line is safer than arguing an average. ### Can I combine income from multiple jobs or clients? Yes. You can combine several contracts to reach US$1,500 a month, provided every payer is outside Brazil, for example a salary from a foreign employer plus freelance contracts. A contract with a company is the strongest evidence; contracts with individuals are assessed case by case, depending on the rest of your profile, which is exactly what Camila works through with you when she prepares your application. Include the signed contract for each source so the analyst can connect each bank deposit to it. ### What currency must the income be in? Any convertible currency is accepted: USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, CHF and similar. You do not need to convert to USD on your statements; the analyst performs the conversion using public exchange rates. Local-currency-only income (e.g., Philippine peso or Thai baht) is accepted if the source country is outside Brazil. Income denominated in BRL is almost always disqualifying because it implies a Brazilian source. ### Will Wise or Payoneer statements alone satisfy the income requirement? Wise and Payoneer statements are accepted when combined with bank statements showing the corresponding transfers to your primary account. A Wise statement alone is supporting evidence, not a replacement for your home-country bank statements. The combination is what tells the full story: foreign client → Wise/Payoneer → your bank. ### Do bank statements from abroad need apostille? No. Bank statements are private documents, and private documents are never apostilled. On MigranteWeb they are usually filed as issued, without a translation. Consulates set their own rules; many read statements as issued, and we confirm what yours requires. ## Related Guides [ ### Requirements Checklist The full VITEM XIV document list ](https://getbrazilvisa.com/requirements-digital-nomad-visa-brazil)[ ### Freelancer Guide Income strategies for contractors ](https://getbrazilvisa.com/brazil-digital-nomad-visa-freelancer)[ ### Apostille Guide Authenticate financial documents correctly ](https://getbrazilvisa.com/brazil-digital-nomad-visa-apostille-guide) ### Start with Camila Camila Araujo Mota, OAB-licensed Brazilian immigration lawyer, personally reviews every case.

In fact, I felt compelled to pay her more than our original agreement because I was so impressed with the value she provided.\n\nCamila kept my applications organized, ensured everything was filed on time, secured and prepared me for my appointments with the Federal Police, and made sure I had every document I could possibly need. Thanks to her, I successfully obtained both my visitor visa extension and my resident visa.\n\nShe even went above and beyond by covering my appointment fees when I couldn’t pay with PIX as a foreigner.\n\nThis was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a lawyer. Camila genuinely cares about her clients and stands with you every step of the way. If you need immigration assistance in Brazil, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her."},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"bestRating":5},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"DJ"},"reviewBody":"I moved to Brazil from Denmark on the digital nomad visa in October of 2025 with the help of Camila.

The regulation is phrased as 'at least US$1,500 per month,' not 'averaging US$1,500.' If any month falls short, add supplementary documentation or switch to the savings route to remove the ambiguity. A clean 3-month record where every month clears the line is safer than arguing an average."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I combine income from multiple jobs or clients?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. You can combine several contracts to reach US$1,500 a month, provided every payer is outside Brazil, for example a salary from a foreign employer plus freelance contracts. A contract with a company is the strongest evidence; contracts with individuals are assessed case by case, depending on the rest of your profile, which is exactly what Camila works through with you when she prepares your application. Include the signed contract for each source so the analyst can connect each bank deposit to it."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What currency must the income be in?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Any convertible currency is accepted: USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, CHF and similar. You do not need to convert to USD on your statements; the analyst performs the conversion using public exchange rates. Local-currency-only income (e.g., Philippine peso or Thai baht) is accepted if the source country is outside Brazil. Income denominated in BRL is almost always disqualifying because it implies a Brazilian source."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Will Wise or Payoneer statements alone satisfy the income requirement?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Wise and Payoneer statements are accepted when combined with bank statements showing the corresponding transfers to your primary account. A Wise statement alone is supporting evidence, not a replacement for your home-country bank statements. The combination is what tells the full story: foreign client → Wise/Payoneer → your bank."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do bank statements from abroad need apostille?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No. Bank statements are private documents, and private documents are never apostilled. On MigranteWeb they are usually filed as issued, without a translation. Consulates set their own rules; many read statements as issued, and we confirm what yours requires."}}]}]} ```
