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, contractor invoices paired with bank deposits, the 3 most recent months of bank statements, Wise and Payoneer transaction histories, and payroll records. Every document issued abroad must be apostilled and sworn-translated to Portuguese for the consulate route; MigranteWeb often accepts official digital bank PDFs without apostille. Income from Brazilian sources is disqualifying under Resolução Normativa CNIg nº 45/2021.

Camila strengthens your application package, personalised to you and based on knowing what immigration authorities look for. We also help you avoid the lengthy **cartas de exigência** that immigration officers send, which we see many people deal with when they apply by themselves. ### Camila as your legal representative - A written petition A legal argument for your case citing RN 45/2021, signed under OAB/CE 50.065. A file without one is a form; a file with one is an argued case. - Your Brazilian criminal records Federal, plus one per Brazilian state you have lived in. Camila obtains them and files them with your application. - Sworn translations, by a tradutor público Only a publicly appointed translator counts. Both letters below ask for originals alongside translations, and one asks twice. - The forms checked before they are filed A blank justification, the wrong form, a date of birth that does not match the payment slip. All three are in the letters below. - Your document list, in order What each document is, where to get it, how long it takes, which need an apostille, and what to start first. - A lawyer who has read your file Answers come from the lawyer holding your case, not from a help desk working through a script. - The filing, and whatever comes back Camila files as your legal representative and answers the Ministry in your name. An exigência on a case she filed is her work, not yours. ### Hurdles on the way A **carta de exigência** is an immigration officer asking for more before they will decide. It is written for lawyers, and the case waits until every item is answered. Here are two recent examples we received from clients who applied on their own. Tap a letter to read it. Carta de exigência 2 pages · 5 items · July 2026 Sent the translation of the criminal record but not the original. Read the full letter Carta de exigência 3 pages · 9 items · May 2026 Criminal record: original and translation, for every country lived in over five years. Read the full letter Names, process numbers and timestamps have been removed. Everything the Ministry asked for is exactly as it was written. ### 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, and that step is its own process. - **The documents are not the ones you already sent.** The Federal Police ask for their own set, and assembling it correctly from outside the Brazilian system is where most people stall. - **What is required differs by state.** The unit that registers you in São Paulo does not ask for the same things as the one in Florianópolis, and the published guidance does not always match the counter. - **The appointment is the hard part.** Slots at the busy units open without warning and are taken quickly. 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 income from more than one qualifying foreign source, for example a part-time salary plus freelance invoices, each with its own contract or letter and matching bank deposits, so the combined total clears US$1,500/month. 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. ### Cryptocurrency income (with a full paper trail) Best for: Web3 workers paid in crypto or stablecoins What's required: Exchange statements showing regular fiat conversions, matching bank deposits, a home-country tax return, and a consolidated monthly summary highlighting the recurring US$1,500+ equivalent. A raw wallet balance is never enough. Often accepted, hardest to document: the savings route is usually easier ## 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 bank deposits | Invoices 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 Income Cryptocurrency income is not explicitly prohibited but requires a careful documentation package. A raw wallet balance or exchange screen is almost never sufficient. - Exchange statements showing regular fiat conversions (e.g., monthly BTC→USD sales via Coinbase, Kraken, Binance) - Corresponding bank deposits from the exchange: tracing each conversion to your fiat account - Tax returns declaring the crypto income in your home country - Contractual proof of crypto-denominated work (e.g., a Web3 protocol offering a monthly retainer in stablecoins) - A consolidated monthly summary highlighting the recurring US$1,500+ equivalent Crypto-only applicants: the $18,000 savings route is easier Converting US$18,000 worth of crypto into a stable fiat balance held for 3+ months almost always outperforms trying to document volatile monthly crypto income. If flexibility allows, convert and hold before applying. ## 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.

Contact Camila privately → ## Apostille and Translation Requirements Every foreign document should in principle be apostilled in the country of issue and sworn-translated to Portuguese by a *tradutor juramentado*. In practice, enforcement varies: - Consulates: strict. Apostille all financial documents (bank letters, tax returns, employment letters); digitally signed bank statement PDFs may be accepted at some posts - MigranteWeb: more lenient. Official bank portal PDFs with embedded digital signatures often accepted without apostille; translation is still required for non-Portuguese content - Employment letters and contracts: always apostilled if issued abroad - Wise/Payoneer statements: typically accepted as-is (not government-issued, so apostille does not apply) Country-by-country apostille 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 | | Cryptocurrency (with documentation) | Often | Exchange statements + fiat conversions + tax return | | 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 | ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Do I need to show US$1,500 every single month, or is a 6-month average enough? ### Can I combine income from multiple jobs or clients? ### What currency must the income be in? ### Will Wise or Payoneer statements alone satisfy the income requirement? ### Do bank statements from abroad need apostille? ## 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) ### Two ways to start with Camila Camila Araujo Mota, OAB-licensed Brazilian immigration lawyer, personally reviews every case.

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. The total counts, provided every source is outside Brazil. Freelancers routinely combine retainers from 3-5 foreign clients, and employees can combine salary from a foreign employer with side-project invoices. Include contracts or invoices for each source so the analyst can connect each bank deposit to a contractual relationship."}},{"@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":"Technically yes. Any foreign document used in Brazilian administrative proceedings should be apostilled. In practice, MigranteWeb frequently accepts official bank portal PDFs with embedded digital signatures without apostille. Consulates are stricter; for the consulate route, apostille your most recent 3-month statement and include a bank letter confirming the account."}}]}]} ```
