Boris,

I used the following for 10 month in 2014/2015;

iOverlander | Paraiso Suizo

The nice thing about Uruguay is that they give vehicles one year with no problems.

I have no contact info, you will have to search the web.

Safe travels,

Boris, how long have you had the car in Brazil?

Assume you took it in during the time they were not issuing TVIP so do you think you will have any problems getting it out after being well overdue

Hi Pickypalla,

Hi Tony,

My car is still in Brazil I'll return in July. I came from Uruguay in 2016 from Chuy border where have make me problem with TVIP but when I have going out on San Antonio border they take me TVIP and thrown in the trash with the interpretation that you no longer need and when I came back over the Port De Ignacium border they have make paper just for persons. My friend did make the same with motobike in November and return in March 2017 and on the border nobody ask TVIP when he left Brazil.
