知っておくと便利

- Income test: at least US$1,500/month from a foreign paying source, OR available bank funds of US$18,000.
- The digital-nomad proof requires all three: the remote-work declaration, the foreign contract, and the means-of-subsistence proof.
- Residence is renewed at the Federal Police inside Brazil for a second year; the consulate issues the visa, not the renewal.
