Hi!

I am currently in Brazil overstaying my tourist visa. In two months I will go back to the Netherlands where I am planning to stay six months. After these six months I would like to go back to Brazil on a volunteer visa. Will the fact that I overstayed my tourist visa interfere with my application for a volunteer visa?

Hi
I don't think the Brazilians really care about over stayers, they just want the fine money, and then everything is good again,
Its not like in Europe, where if your a bad person for over staying, you cant come back in for 10 years,
here once you pay the fine, all is forgiven
