When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Rio de Janeiro and Incheon don't overlap on the same weekday. Incheon is 12 hours ahead of Rio de Janeiro.
With some flexibility, there are two workable windows outside standard hours, depending on which side takes the early or late slot:
- 7 AM–8 AM in Rio de Janeiro (7 PM–8 PM in Incheon) — suggest 7:00 AM Rio de Janeiro (7:00 PM Incheon).
- 7 PM–8 PM in Rio de Janeiro (7 AM–8 AM the next day in Incheon) — suggest 7:00 PM Rio de Janeiro (7:00 AM Incheon).
Either is an early start or late finish for one side, but workable for a one-off meeting.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
