How to fill in Brazil entry (resident) declaration: your options

FoxDocs is one of several ways. Choose the one that suits your case.

  • Official route

    Submission: Receita Federal. Agency: Federal Revenue Service of Brazil (Receita Federal). It publishes the form and the requirements — check them before you submit. If the agency runs its own online service, it may be the most direct way.

  • Fill in the PDF yourself

    Download the official form and fill it in by hand or in a PDF editor. It costs nothing; you work out every field, date format and script on your own.

  • Through an agent or intermediary

    A agent or lawyer fills in and often submits the document for you. Their fee applies; it helps when the case is complicated or you need someone to represent you.

  • With FoxDocs

Filling the form yourself is free; the chat assistant and the AI check are priced per document. FoxDocs does not submit the document and does not give legal advice.
