Good morning! I need help confirming an understanding.
An employee of a public company was expatriated and has been working in Uruguay since May 2021, coming to Brazil sporadically for work or vacation, and has not yet communicated his definitive departure from the country. Can his visits to Brazil be characterized as temporary departure for more than 12 months? Or after 12 months, is the permanent departure already characterized and must the communication be made? The deadline for notifying permanent departure would be February 2023, right?
