To open a Brazilian bank account remotely: 1. Obtain a CPF number online.
2. Purchase a local Brazilian SIM card using the CPF. 3. Use digital payment platforms (fintechs) that do not strictly require local residency documents like RG or RNE. Note that some banks may still require a local address for card delivery. Beware of scammers offering assistance via direct messages.
