Overstaying Brazilian Motorcycle Visa?
Hello There
Can someone please help with my query - based upon 2014!
I am a British citizen and in 2011 rode my Honda XR 650 L from Los Angeles to Rio de Janeiro - across 15countries. It is a US registered bike.
I returned home in August 2011 and left the bike stored in Sao Paulo with a friend l met there during my trip.
My original visa allowed me to stay 90 days which would have been October 2011, but thats like 2.5years ago...
I would like to ride south to Patagonia and maybe north to Venezuela.
If l cross any of the borders and explain that the visa ran out 2.5years ago and l left the country and came back to take the bike back to the USA - how would that go down with the border Police?
I dont want a fine that will cripple my trip savings and dont want anytime in a Brazilian prison. Just want a clean exit into a new country...
What advice can anyone give me? Bets border routes, explanation on why l overstayed....
I want to leave in the next few weeks - so any thoughts would be appreciated...
Feel free to reply here or to my gmail account....
Thanks
Danny.

No TIP in Brazil
Hi Danny,
you are lucky, there is no more Temp. Import Permit for vehicles into Brazil. So you can leave at any border with the bike and do the TIP in the next country. If you dont believe me, please confirm with Rod from Bikershelpdesk in Foz, you will find him here on the HUBB somewhere.
Enjoy and Saludos desde Bolivia

Mika is right, crossed into Brazil yesterday from venezuela, and double checked with the brazilian border police. No TIP, nada. Just your own stamp in the passport, just like a backpacker or bus passenger at the border.

Serious....
Are you both serious??
I can fly back to brazil from the UK and ride my US bike (with all paper work) and take her back to the US and enjoy the journey??
No Police problems, huge fines and prison cells - a can really do this??

Yes, we are serious.
Hola Danny,
yes, we are serious. Enjoy your trip up North, but as far as I know all other countries on your route still have the TIP system.
Maybe see you here in Bolivia.
Saludos

Well, this theory is yet to be tested so I wouldn't rely on these assurances too much. One thing to drive into Brazil, leave the vehicle behind and fly home again as a few people have done recently, but it is not proven that 10 out of 10 of these people will be able to return and drive out without problems.
I hope it is true but ....

No TIP required for Brazil!
Hi Joe
It appears that the TIP visa for Brazil is no longer required. I am checking this out with a guy call Rod from Bikers Help Desk in Brazil.
Good Luck!
Danny.
