Thanks again Rod.

I would not be worried about being stopped and asked for TEP on the way to Iguazu as currently my papers are good. I need to leave Brasil by the 30th October and was hoping to stay for another 3 months.

Therefore I thought if I exit the bike out and hand in the TEP before it expires then ride back into Brasil without getting a new TEP. When I leave 3 months later they would fine me for overstaying my tourist visa but not the bike as they would no longer be linked?

These are just thoughts in trying to find a way of staying an extra 3 months. I have already renewed it once so it will take me to the 6 months that they give.

Thanks again. Lets catch up when I get there late Oct.

reentering Brasil
Ok let's see, you want to exit only the bike now and later, after 3 months, yourself right???

we can do it with no problems, you would be fined around 200 reais on the exit, buuut I'll check it exactly, don't worry about the bike when going out, we can work on something to exit "without" the bike.

At this moment I have to warn you that you may have problems if caught with expired visa, of course you're quite experienced on the brasilian roads and would have no problems, but there's always a risk involved right, i'm sure that if you're around here we can go around it but when far away it's all with you.

Keep in touch ok

Rod

In answer to your original question: yes, I was stopped by federal police and asked for my TIP. I can only remember once with any certainty--somewhere unexpected and otherwise unremarkable a day or two west of Salvador--but I think there was one other time as well.

Mileage varies.

Hi Rod,

Yes I was thinking of exiting only the bike so that I dont have to pay a fine when I actually leave Brasil 3 months later. But only exiting in terms of handing in the TEP as I still want to ride the bike in Brasil for another 3 months after the 30th Oct deadline. I will give you a call in a couple of days as it may be easier to talk through options.

$200reis for overstaying visa would be quite reasonable.

Thanks again and talk soon
Maurice
