Insurance requirement, verbatim intent: CNIg Resolution 45/2021 Art. 3(II) requires health insurance valid in Brazilian territory for the whole stay. No minimum coverage amount is specified.
Tax notes: CNIg Resolution 45/2021 does not address taxation. Brazil generally treats individuals as tax residents under standard rules; the 183-day trigger is the general rule, not visa-specific (verify against Receita Federal).
