What is the difference between CPF and CNPJ when a foreigner wants to invest here?

They are different things. The CPF is the individual's number. The CNPJ is the company's number. If you, as a foreigner, just want to invest, buy property, or put money in, the CPF is usually enough. If you want to open your own business in Brazil, that's when the company's CNPJ comes in. Many investors from the Americas use both: a CPF for themselves and a CNPJ for the firm. TF inter explains which one you need in your case and handles both requests, without you getting lost in Brazilian bureaucracy.
