How each rule works

Tax residency

Brazil tax — temporary-visa presence

For the relevant temporary-status route, Brazilian residence begins on the 184th day within an entry-based period of up to 12 months. Employment or permanent status can establish residence earlier. After an unsuccessful period, the next qualifying entry starts another period.
