Hello, i am here on a 3 month tourist visa and was told in the beginning i can just overstay and pay a fine of 8 reais a day and maximum 780 reais. Now i heard from a lawyer in Rio that this was changed and its now 120 Reais a day, Can anyone ...
Good news for those like me who have been overstaying for a long time, it seems the day counter was reset on the day the law came into force so you may not be charged the complete R$10,000 if you leave soon enough. I left from Guarulhos airport on ... Read More

Thank you all for this info! "don't necessarily have to pay it" - does this just depend on whether they like you? I'm leaving soon just to pick up my new work visa and come back a month later. I overstayed more than a year, I ... Read More
Opinions: how to help poor Brazilians? by ABart
Hello fellow expats, I think we'll all agree that Brazil is a pretty unequal country. What are some things an expat like me can do in Brazil to help people here who weren't born with as many privileges? I'm from a rich european ...
Thanks a lot CraigF, that's a great idea I hadn't considered! That sounds like a perfect way to help. I'm glad to hear that this is an option that's available. I will try to make sure I can be around to help them for long enough and ... Read More

Ah yeah, I was thinking more in the direction of buying someone a meal or hiring someone for some odd jobs. Read More

Great point! Thanks spanishpete, that's a very useful insight. I unfortunately don't have any of those skills, certainly not more than locals. So maybe my money would be more valuable to them. Read More

Thanks for the responses spanishpete and ndfansince53! The problems and causes are complicated and I have no illusions of fixing them. I was wondering what I can realistically do to help some people small scale. I'm glad you like the ideas I ... Read More

So what if I overstay my Tourist Visa in Brazil anyway? by James
Ive gotten so many questions from people who have overstayed their Tourist Visa in Brazil or who are contemplating doing so and want to know what the potential consequences are that Ive lost count. So here goes with a description and hopefully it ...
Sorry for my question then James, I didn't realise that and didn't mean to break the rules of the forum. I hope I didn't offend you, it was merely my ignorance. Thanks a lot for your response however, it's a clear and very helpful ... Read More

Hi James, I have another question. I'll be entering Brazil from Paraguay, and that border is easy to cross without getting a stamp in my passport. Would it help to pass the border without getting a stamp initially and then come back a few ... Read More

Hi James, Thanks so much for your help to everyone here. It's helped me a lot. You say (and I read in some other places too) that Brazil might become less lex about overstaying in the future. I'm planning to go to Brazil and might ... Read More
