Hello everyone! I came to SP, Brazil from the United States on January 12th, 2020. I still have my ticket to go back on April 7th but now I have a feeling the airline (Latam) will be canceling my flight. I have already started to looking into option of extending my stay here for an additional 90 days. I would appreciate if anyone who is going through similar process or has any useful information share it with me. Thank you !

I would check with LATAM now. You can re book on line.
Need to go to PF ASAP before border is closed and quarantined.

Hello Romaineru and welcome to expat.com

I created a topic from the post you've made on the New members of the Brazil forum, introduce yourselves here - 2020 thread.

Since it's a legit question with a very useful answer, other expats may be interested by it.

Wishing you a good day and hoping you are all fine.

Regards.
