Large-scale Taiwanese immigration to Brazil dates from the 1950s to the 1970s, since when Brazil's economy has gone downhill in contrast to Taiwan's economic takeoff; Brazil has also gradually closed the door on immigration as unemployment has risen, so there has been a net outflow of Taiwan immigrants.
台灣移民大量遷至巴西，是一九五○年到七○年間的事，之後巴西政經情勢逐漸走下坡，和台灣的經濟起飛恰成對比；加上失業率日高，巴西逐漸關閉移民門戶，於是形成台灣移民「出多進少」的現象。
