Best time to call Seoul from São Paulo

For most work calls, compare the normal business day in São Paulo (BRT) with the business day in Seoul (KST). BRT commonly covers South America, while KST is mainly associated with East Asia.

⚠️ Note: 2026-07-05 is not a normal workday in one or both regions based on their configured calendar. The overlap below should be treated as a reference, not a guaranteed office-hours window.

⚠️ There is no clean same-day business-hours overlap on 2026-07-05. A practical compromise is around 9:00 PM BRT, which reaches 9:00 AM KST near the start of their workday.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time difference between BRT and KST?

During standard time, Korea Standard Time is 12 hours ahead of Brasília Time.

Does Brazil observe Daylight Saving Time?

Brazil officially abolished Daylight Saving Time by presidential decree in April 2019, ending a practice that had been observed in the country's southeastern states since 1985. BRT has remained fixed at UTC-3:00 every day of the year since then, meaning the B3 stock exchange, federal government, and all Brazilian commercial operations run on a permanent, unchanging offset.

Is BRT the same as Argentina Time (ART)?

BRT (Brasília Time) and ART (Argentina Time) share the identical UTC-3:00 offset and neither country observes Daylight Saving Time, making São Paulo and Buenos Aires permanently synchronized on the same clock. Despite the different official designations, a meeting set for 10:00 BRT in São Paulo falls at exactly 10:00 ART in Buenos Aires — a fixed relationship that never shifts seasonally.

Does South Korea observe Daylight Saving Time?

South Korea does not observe Daylight Saving Time and has not done so since 1988, when DST was discontinued following the Seoul Summer Olympics. KST remains fixed at UTC+9:00 every day of the year, meaning the offset between Seoul and any DST-observing country shifts by one hour twice annually when those countries change their clocks.

Are KST and JST the same?

Yes, Korea Standard Time (KST) and Japan Standard Time (JST) share the identical UTC+9:00 offset, and neither country observes Daylight Saving Time. Seoul and Tokyo run on exactly the same clock year-round, which directly supports the deep semiconductor, automotive, and consumer electronics supply chain integration between the two economies.
