How long does it take to get a foreign partner set up and legalized?

The timeframe varies quite a bit. The most time-consuming part is usually getting the documents in the partner's country, with a sworn translator and apostille. This depends on the notary office and the consulate abroad, which are beyond our control. As for registering the company and the CNPJ here, TF Con moves quickly, largely online. Our tip: start the CPF and the power of attorney early, since these are the steps that get stuck the most. We send you a checklist right at the start so the process doesn't stall.
