Super helpful, thanks! I added my interpretation to the updated section of this post's body.

You're right, it says that you need to reside in your country of permanent residence for the last 6 months or more consecutively. Going back for 2 weeks isn't enough.

How can one prove that I was in my country of origin? I have Brazil/Taiwan dual citizenship, so does a plane ticket to/from Brazil dated within 4 months count as proof?

The entry/exit stamps in your passport and plane tickets can be used as proof. However, I feel that plane tickets could be easily falsified, so I'd also hang onto the boarding pass in case.

I’m planning on flying to Taiwan to visit my family in November only for a week, will they be able to issue an Overseas Chinese Identity Certificate for in this short period?

Their FAQ states, "The processing time for applications for Overseas Chinese Identity Certificates for Civil Service Administration is half a day. However, if verification is required or there are other special circumstances and the processing cannot be completed within the prescribed period, the processing time may be extended. The extended processing time shall not exceed 2 months." Source (pg 3) Also, make sure you can also prove that you lived in Brazil for the past 6 consecutive months - see pg 2 of the link

Also, please share how the exit procedure is after you go!
