• The IAI is granted significant immunities and privileges, including the inviolability of its premises, archives, and official correspondence, and exemption from all direct national, regional, or local taxes, as well as customs duties for official imports.
• The Executive Director and their immediate family (if non-Brazilian and not permanent residents) are granted diplomatic-style privileges, including personal inviolability, immunity from criminal and civil jurisdiction, and tax exemptions on salaries.
