Substance, beneficial ownership disclosure, and AML standards have tightened materially.
Banking	Banking is selective. Bordercase coordinates banking introductions through current partners.	Residency unlocks personal and corporate banking. Pix has changed everyday payments; SWIFT for international flows still requires careful KYC.	Domestic and offshore banking options exist but have become more selective on KYC and source of funds. Bordercase coordinates banking pack preparation and partner introductions.
Family	CBI can include qualifying dependents.	Family reunification is supported on most routes. International schools (English, German, French, Japanese) are concentrated in São Paulo, Rio, and Brasília.
