Can anyone list what I will need to get a retirement visa in Brazil. I'm a US citizen and would  be moving with my husband, also retired. Is there a certain amount of money we need to bring into the country each year/month? What docs are required, etc..

So, what´s the answer? And are these strict requirements, or subject to local interpretation by the local Police Federal office?
