Can I open a bank account in Brazil as a non-resident?
It’s rather difficult to open a bank account in Brazil without showing either the above-mentioned identity card, or at least a document called National Register of Migrants (RNM), which travelers are also required to obtain after arrival. You can get it by registering at the Federal Police. You can also schedule an appointment with the local police office before your arrival.

What kinds of accounts can you open?
You can choose an account that serves you best. It can be a current account, conta corrente, used for daily transactions and payments, or a conta de poupança, savings account, where you can store your money. Another form is conta salário, salary account, on which you receive your payments, with some saving advantages, and with the same features as a regular current account.
