Our Verdict

If you are looking for affordability, Brazil is the better choice, requiring $1,500/mo compared to South Korea's $5,300.

However, if you lack monthly income but have savings, you should choose Brazil, which explicitly allows asset-based qualification.


For tax optimization, South Korea is superior due to its "Tax Exempt (Non-Resident)" status.
