I gather you have an RG if you hold dual nationality.Obtaining a CPF is straightforward and simple.If you have RG and your CPF then there should be no problem and transactions are straightforward providing you have all the proof of where and whom the money comes from,account etc.Bank accounts can stop functioning if there are some irregularities that do not quite add up,if you do not make a declaration of money received in Brazil(EG property rentals,declaration of property -properties,cars ,etc you own by the deadine given then account will automatically stop functioning.These are important issues to be aware of because my guess is people are not even aware of this.

i hold dual citizenship because i was born in rio, although my portuguese is sub-par because my adoptive parents are american. i am looking to obtain a cpf, have downloaded the form, but am a little cautious to take action in opening an account because of some of the stories on this forum. how secure is a transaction from and exterior account to a brazilian account and will my funds be safe once they have been transferred?
