Reacquisition only reaches people who had Brazilian nationality and lost it. If you never held it, there is nothing to restore, and this is the wrong route rather than a difficult one.
Two other routes are worth a moment, because people arrive here having assumed this was their best option.
If a parent, grandparent or earlier ancestor was Brazilian, you may not need to acquire anything: Brazil recognises citizenship by descent with no generational limit, which is unusually generous, and the recognition counts back to your birth. Our citizenship-by-descent quiz is the place to check that.
If not, citizenship comes through residence and then naturalisation — four years in the ordinary case, one year if you are married to or partnered with a Brazilian, have a Brazilian child, or hold the nationality of a Portuguese-speaking country. Brazil has a wide set of residence routes to start that clock: remote work for a foreign employer, a pension from abroad, investment, a job offer, or a treaty route for nationals of most South American countries.
Tell us your nationality and whether anyone in your family was Brazilian, and we will point you at whichever of those actually fits.
