We struck controls in that area and we did have to stop a couple of times. One wanted to see our tourist slips (and was going to send us back to the border when I misunderstood what he wanted to see) and the other just wanted to have a chat and practice his English. Neither was interested in the vehicle. The policeman at the border we entered from Peru told me that they weren't issuing TVIPs and as long as we had title and registration documents that would be all the police and Aduana would be interested in. Time will tell whether he was right.

I entered yesterday from Uruguay and they do issu TIP! I just dont get one cause i told the guy that i am travel via hitchhike

Please tell me what you exactly mean? Did someone else ride your bike, yoz being on the back?

No i was riding and i had someone else on my back. We just hide the bike and didnt told anybody about it.

So if you get stopped at a checkpoint without any vehicle import documents, you're going to react how exactly?

I'm assuming TK isn't your real name and that Brazilian customs officials don't read English, nor are they able to Google public Internet forums.

Let us know how you get on.

I will let you know if i get any problems. But like a lot of other travellers wrote here in this Thread and in a nother on OverlandSphere
That they dont get any TIP crossing nother boarder of brazil. So i dont think that i will get any problems. Moastly the Police dont know wich paper you should have.
How i react at a checkpoint?
I play the stupid one and show them every papers that i have.
Licence passport and the immigration paper(no TIP)

Your only problem is that it seems Brazil is reintroducing TIPs. So when the official checks your passport and sees where you entered Brazil (on your passport entry stamp, the exit stamp from Uruguay...) and deduces by checking their IT system that the bike "didn't" enter with you and that border post does issue TIPs...

Then maybe they Google your name and this thread appears.... And they read English...

It's a high risk strategy to assume that uniformed Latin Americans are stupid.

Best of luck

I just checked the stamps and you dont see where you entered Brazil. Even not on the immigration paper

They say that "Ignorance is bliss"

There are many ways to exit BR where there are no border controls.

I've been to many borders in BR where I had to hound them to give me a TVIP. Leaving without a TVIP shouldn't be a problem at pretty much any border in BR.

That sounds good

@thomas
the policia federal sees it in the pc where you did enter brazil.

@all
i entered brazil some days ago with a chilean registrated car from peru, inapari - assis brazil.

it was not possible for me to get a tip at the border. i asked two times but there was no way.

Update: made it through Bolivia and into Brazil. No one asked for TIP. Had an accident in Brazil due to a flat front tire, police was sent to help. They asked for papers and took pics...Noone was interested in any TIP!!
