What is this power of attorney that every foreigner needs? What is it for in practice?

It's the document that appoints someone in Brazil to act on your behalf. This representative signs papers, receives official notices, and answers for you before the authorities. Without it, a foreigner cannot register a company or keep the CNPJ active. A power of attorney made outside Brazil requires a sworn translator and, almost always, an apostille. TF Con helps you write the right powers, neither too many nor too few. That way your representative does what's needed without becoming the owner of your business.
