Opening a bank account in Sao Paulo 2026 as a foreigner?
Bring passport plus CPF receipt to the receita federal first.
receita appointment can take weeks so book online early
worth adding that the passport needs to be the original, not a copy, and they sometimes ask for a proof of address too. a hotel booking near Estanplaza Paulista should work for that if u don't have a lease yet.
Some branches push back on hotel bookings, so ask the hotel for a signed declaração de hospedagem on letterhead instead.
Hotel bookings sometimes get rejected as comprovante de residência, so a declaracao from your hotel or a friend's address is safer.
and the protocol printout, not just the receipt
cpf first yeah, but a digital account like nubank or inter takes you further than fighting a banco do brasil branch on paulista
Agree, though Inter still asks for a local address
Nubank's app is all in Portuguese though, so factor that in if you don't read it well.
