Visa viper, CIE card validity, automatic cancellation please help.

Hello,

Yes, the maximum time you can be outside of Brazil without losing permanency is 2 years. You have to come back and get an entry stamp in your visa which resets the count. There is no minimum stay required but I'm sure you'll want to visit the family.

Regarding income tax, yes you will need to file here in Brazil and the deadline is only 3 days from now or you will risk a fine.  Your income from India, must be declared in India and will be taxed there. You will also need to report on your Brazilian DIRPF what you've earned in India while you may not necessarily be taxed on that income it must be reported on your Brazilian DIRPF. Expat income taxes are VERY complicated and I recommend that you do not try and file on your own. Arrange for an accountant in Brazil who has experience with expat taxes.

thanks james for the valuable info. sure  i already booked flight tickets to visit my family. 

and only 3 days left to declare my income tax    have any idea how much will be the fine? it will be affecting my next entry to brazil? .  what kind of report are you mentioning with DIRF? (here in india i  do not need to pay income tax. my salary is tax free) so can you explain, if you already experienced this situation or anybody else ?on behalf of me  can  my wife do the reporting to DIRF  from brazil  ? or i should contact the embassy or consulate of brazil for assistance on what to do ?  thanks in advance james and the team..

I have no idea at all what the fine will be, and it's not going to have any effect on your re-entering Brazil.

thank you so much james.  lets see.
