Brazil has become one of the EB-5 program’s fastest-growing markets, as wealthy Brazilians seek stability amid slow economic growth, high inflation, and uncertainty around this year’s elections at home. With no visa backlog and no delays in either EB-5 category, Brazilian investors get immediate visa availability, a significant edge over applicants from countries facing years-long delays.
Marcelo Gorenstein, Commercial Director of LCR Capital Partners, states, “For most of the Brazilian families we work with, the appeal of the EB-5 Investor Visa Program comes down to control and certainty. EB-5 is one of the few routes to a US Green Card that a family can pursue on its own terms, without an employer sponsor or the need to build a case around an extraordinary ability profile.”
