This would explain why no special vehicle import paper would be needed anymore. But actually the law became more restrictive, not more laxist, since you cant leave the country without your vehicle. This makes more sense, since the Brazilian administration is not reknown for being laxist
Could you confirm that foreign extra mercosur vehicles are now stamped in the passport, Quati?

I may have missunderstood (happens a lot!) but that bit highlighted in red you are confusing me. You say it is not then discuss how it is? It might be worth clarifying what you wrote. Are you referring to Mercosur countries only?
In Venezuela it IS linked to your passport. A one page stamp with entry and required exit dates.
I just went in and out of Brazil again and they were not interested in my bike and nothing is in my passport relating to my bike (Unlike Venezuela). There is that small slip of paper that Brazil gives you when you enter that Quati mentions, but mine was left blank and immigration did not look at my bike in or out.
Of course not every border official at every border acts the same as the others, so maybe we can work out a pattern if a few others post up what happened in their case.
Hi Quati! Thanks for your help a few months ago.
