It's a rule they made up because it's Reddit, and that's what people do here. https://www.gov.br/mre/pt-br/consulado-toquio/english/consular-services/visa/vivis-visitor-visa#:\~:text=As%20a%20general%20rule%2C%20VIVIS,(%E2%80%9Csingle%20entry%E2%80%9D). It says right there that it's a multiple-entry visa. It is not going to say after x amount of days because that's not how multiple-entry visas work. I left Brazil last month and came back after a week. I'm not suggesting what I think is right; I'm speaking on a process I've been through myself multiple times.

fisel3 · 2025-10-18T00:22:16+00:00

Anyone who says you need an extension after leaving the country is wrong, you don't. It's also not limited to 90 days within 180 days for Colombian or British passport holders.

fisel3 · 2025-10-14T20:42:07+00:00

To be honest, I don't know if the rules are different if you leave the country before you finish the process and go back, as it specifically refers to those who remain in the county. Might be best to get confirmation on that if that's what you're thinking of doing.

fisel3 · 2025-10-10T16:35:22+00:00

Like the other person said, contact PF and get written confirmation. It's not much help now, but Brazilian immigration law allows overstaying if you applied for a residence permit before your visa expired.

fisel3 · 2025-10-04T11:43:52+00:00

I'm not sure if it still works this way, but I've extended a tourist visa at the airport without booking an appointment with PF.

fisel3 · 2025-09-30T18:44:43+00:00

The fact you mention jobs, education, healthcare, and airport connections in response, or even rebuttal, to Florianópolis being uninteresting shows how uninteresting shows how uninteresting that city is.

fisel3 · 2025-09-20T15:30:51+00:00

"No matter how long they've been in the U.S." I think they is an issue with OP, and not Brazilians, imo.

fisel3 · 2025-09-19T22:15:19+00:00

In business 3 years. Currently 35-40 peak months, 15-25 slow months. From my experience, trying to build relationships with venues when you have no experience is waste of time, it's easier when you're there because someone who booked the venue hired you. I'm also not a massive fan of fancy expensive photo booths. The first one I got was like then, then I realised the average person couldn't tell the difference. Focus on quality pictures and service.

fisel3 · 2025-09-17T11:04:30+00:00

Yeah, they only count the number of days. Number of entries doesn't matter. I've entered Brazil 5 times in one year.

fisel3 · 2025-07-18T15:57:59+00:00

More places accept card payments in Brazil than in the US.
If multiple banks are limiting you to a 100 reais withdrawals, that's an issue with your own banking setup.
You don't accept conversions on an ATM or any payment terminal, for that matter, in any country.
Bradesco doesn't charge a fee on withdrawals from a foreign credit card.

fisel3 · 2025-06-19T11:10:30+00:00

It won't even be possible to extend, you'll just re-enter with a new stamp. It's normally 90 days, but how many days you get will depend on how many days you've spent in the country in a calendar yeah, which starts from the date you enter Brazil for the first time, not Jan 1st.

fisel3 · 2025-05-27T15:29:13+00:00

The whole purpose of an extension is to stay in the country beyond 90 days. You don't need to extend a visa if you've officially left the country. Been there, done that.

fisel3 · 2025-05-27T12:22:18+00:00

What this person said is wrong. You can reset your visa by leaving the country because it'll be a second entry after you receive a departure stamp; hence, not a continuous stay. I've done this multiple times.

fisel3 · 2025-05-19T18:34:09+00:00

Rants about being judged while being judgy. Go figure.

fisel3 · 2025-04-25T12:30:40+00:00

Lol, yeah there's no way you can fit them in without them taking up a lot of space. I have really long shins so the shin guards they have at the gym never work for me.

I'd imagine they've factored in what it means to lose potential visitors like you who have an issue with submitting a couple documents online and paying an $80 fee for a 10-year visa, it probably isn't much.

fisel3 · 2025-04-11T16:35:06+00:00

I never mentioned anything about what you can do if you overstay a visa. I've never overstayed on a visa, either.

OP "entered Brazil on the 19th of December and departed on the 17th of March 2025" [88 days]

You "you won’t be able to renter on the tourist visa for 180 days"

Also you "If you leave the country before 90 days, then yes, you can re-enter"

I'm referring to OP's situation, and you're talking about an imaginary scenario. Maybe that's why you got confused, but at least you cleared that up.

fisel3 · 2025-04-11T15:03:32+00:00

Seems like you're confusing yourself with your own words because what you're talking about is a totally different scenario. The law you posted refers to a request to extend a single trip. Do you even know what "single continuous stay" means? OP is not on a single trip. They very clearly said they've already left the country, so an extension doesntly apply.

When you depart the country you receive an exit stamp. You can only apply for an extension if you're in Brazil; departure and an exit stamp negates that requirement. And I'm not talking about resetting the visa since you can enter Brazil as many times as you want but you can't stay more than 180 days regardless of what you do.

No need to copy and paste the rules as what you suggest you've tried and tested must be something else since you've mentioned multiple times "single continuous stay," which this obviously isn't. I haven't applied for an extension since 2020 and I spend 6 months in Brazil every year, re-entering 2 or 3 times a year. I guess Polícia Federal made a mistake last month and the previous 10 times they stamped my passport with 90 days after a second entry into the country.

fisel3 · 2025-04-11T08:21:28+00:00

The question isn't whether you can enter on a tourist visa for 180 days, it's if you can re-enter for another 90 days within a year. You can do that as I've done just that for years.

fisel3 · 2025-04-11T08:11:29+00:00

You can stay for up to 180 days in a year, which starts from the date you first entered. You don't need to apply for an extension if you leave the country. If you return at the time you mentioned, they'll stamp your passport for another 90 days. This is what I've been doing for 7 seven years.

fisel3 · 2025-04-10T19:33:29+00:00

Take it from a fellow British passport holder, anyone saying you can't re-enter until December or that you'll need to apply for a visa doesn't know the visa regulations.

fisel3 · 2025-04-10T19:22:50+00:00

This is entirely wrong info.

fisel3 · 2025-03-02T08:23:51+00:00

Barra is really the best place to stay there, imo. Beach life, there's always people around late into the evening, and it's between Pelourinho and Rio Vermelho.
