Really sorry guys, haven´t checked the HUBB recently, too many things to do, anyway, let´s try to clarify some situations in a simple way

FIRST - Every tourist from anywhere in the milk way who´s not required visa can enter Brazil and stay for 90 days and renew the stay for another 90 days, you mustrenew your "extra 90 days" before the expired date.

SECOND - When you enter into Brazil drivin/riding, there´s no need anymore of the TIP forthe vehicle, as explained to me from border officers, it´s not worth controlling vehicles entering Brazil once it´s impossible to register an used foreigner vehicle.

THIRD - When you get your passport stamped and they give you the piece of paper with your details, they WILL ask your plate or NOT, it´s mandatory, So the plate in that piece of paper IS NOT officially linked to your passport, that´s a fact. Isay this because I´ve helped bikers leaving Brazil WITHOUT their bikes and they never asked about the vehicle wich the plate is registered in the piece of paper.

FOURTH -MY OPINION - As you´re not obligated to leave the country with the vehicle wich the plate is registered in the piece of paper, I can´t see why someone can consider that the brazilian customs are not being laxist and are being more restrict.
Of course it´s a gap in the law, but believe me, it was a lot of trouble to register a vehicle in a border and then after 3 months when the vehicle leaves the country, the entry information hasn´t arrived in the main office of the Customs in the capital of Brazil and the vechicle has already left.

If you have more doubts about this situations feel free to ask me and I´ll happy to help. If you´re passing by Iguazu just give us shall for a ok.

All the best

I would like to know if it is possible for a car to overstay (1 year or more) in Brasil now. With the new law, what sort of procedures do Brasil customs do on the car upon exit? Does Brasil customs have the entry date of the car in their computer, and do they check it upon exit to make sure it has not over stayed? Because if there are effectively no controls on overstaying, then all these problems people have with temporary parking of vehicles will cease to exit.

Given this new situation, it fits in very well with my travel plans.
Does anyone know of a safe a secure location to store my bike in the north of Brazil where I can easily fly out and back to Canada? Boa Vista for example.
Presently I leave my moto in Uru and revisit it every year for a few weeks of travel. I will need to ride the bike home either this year or next and basing out of the northern part of SA is attractive. This way I could check out the Guiana's and parts of Ven before leaving SA.

Thanks in advance!

Since the brazilian government are not issuing or making any kind of control in the entrance of vehicles it's definetly possible to leave a car/bike for as long as necessary. The brazilian customs don't have the details of your vehicle when you enter.

If you enter Brazil driving, the immigration will ask the plate of your vehicle but that's not for Customs control, that's a job for the RECEITA FEDERAL (customs) and as they're not issuing the permit, there's no reason the worry.


At the moment there are few bikes parked at the hostel, but I cancheck about a vehicle. If you need help finding a place or getting more info about this issue. give a shall, i would be happy to help you checking any legal issues straight at the customs office.
