Hello,
I've been looking for articles to study about tax residency for a long time and your articles as well as your comments and answers have been very enlightening.

Due to a job offer we left Brazil (my husband and I and our school-age children). We intend to stay here (depending on how the children adapt), returning to Brazil twice a year.
In addition, we intend to keep our home, financial investments (shares, FIIs, treasury, etc.) and rental property in Brazil.
We have no interest in liquidating these investments and accounts as non-tax residents are not a viable alternative for us. Therefore, our intention is to maintain dual tax residency.
There is an agreement, if I'm not mistaken, in force since 2022, to avoid double taxation between Brazil and the country we move to.
I understand that the salary received by my husband abroad will not be taxed in Brazil (as it is employee income already taxed at source in the contributing country).
We have no restrictions on complying with tax obligations in both countries and are willing to file tax returns in both.
In this case, do you believe that we would be regular, acting correctly and would not suffer double taxation?
As I'm not working at the moment, a second alternative would be to make my husband leave permanently and keep my tax residence. This way, I would continue to receive the rental income and manage our local investments.
Thank you in advance and I look forward to your comments.
