11/14/22 @menna153.  Good morning.  International Driving Permits for Egyptians traveling abroad are issued by the Automobile and Touring Club of Egypt.  That multi-language document, along with your Egyptian license, should be all you need for a visit without having to go to DETRAN, the Brazilian motor vehicles agency.


If you become a legal resident of Brazil, you will need a Brazilian license, and you'll need a Sworn Translation of your current license.   You'll need to find out the exact document requirements from the DETRAN in the town where you live, because each state is a little different.  São Paulo's DETRAN, DETRAN-SP, has offices in all major cities of the state, including São Bernardo.

My guess is it will be the very same procedure as the car license, fortunately, I have both. Best of luck.

@menna153 Good morning.


São Bernardo dos Campos is part of the greater São Paulo region and there are public transportation options. Traveling around São Paulo on a motorcycle might be quite a challenge for someone not familiar with São Paulo.


I tried Google maps, picking a starting point in Sāo Bernardo and a destination in Sāo Paulo and was able to obtain bus routes. It looks like you can reach the metro (subway) system via buses from São Bernardo.
