Does that mean you were issued with a TIP by Brazil Customs.

On the Paraguayan side I did immigration and had to seek out customs to get their TIP (up on the hill on the right above the main crossing point). The customs man on the main road initially wanted to just send me on my way without doing a TIP.
Chris, the question is not about brasileros or paraguayos, its about foreign NON MERCOSUR /Mercosul registered vehicles.

so much depends on the country of registration of the vehicle.
So far there was only one post that included where the vehicle is registered and that is exactly what I am interested in.
I know, vehicles registred in any Mercosur(l) country dont get a TIP, but what about the others?
So there is no point in talking about Iguaçu and the locals crossing the border 5 times a day, of course not, they can stay as long as they wish on the other side, therefore, no TIP.

I was riding a foreign NON MERCOSUR /Mercosul registered vehicle. I had a non Brazilian/ non Paraguayan passport. At the time anyone would have been able to leave Brasil without doing any vehicle exit paperwork.

I could bother rereading the rest of this thread (it was from a long time ago), but being on my cell phone it's too much of a pita.

¡Suerte!

99.9% of the vehicles crossing at Iguaçu are Mercosur/l, so they dont bother checking the cars there since its the normal daily shopping run of the locals.
I also had to go into the office on the braz side coming from Argentina to get my stamp.

Im planning to leave my bike for 3,5-4 months in either Brasil or Uruguay and fly back to Europe for a while. And its much cheaper and more conveniant to fly from Sao Paulo than from Montevideo or Buenos Aires - but will I be able to store my bike legally in Brasil for 3,5-4 months - or should I go for Uruguay?

Legally, No, but your experiences may vary. I left a big camper there for 12 months and just drove straight out a couple of months ago without showing any paperwork (which was just as well because I didn't have any vehicle paperwork, but maybe I was lucky. They do issue TVIPs (and I think you have to do your own on-line before you get to the border) so it is going to depend on what procedures are in place at a particular border.

Uruguay is normally 12 months so is a safer bet.

In Brazil you normally get three months and we didn't have any problems at the airport when we left the camper behind

You can store your bike in Brazil up to 180 days, but after 90 days you need to renew the Temporary Admission, if you stay longer your bike can be confiscated if you are stopped by the police or try to cross the border to another country.

Brazilian Customs' website about this possibility

Of course, this is what the law says buy your experience can be different depending on the mood of the official you talk to.

Thanks for the information, much appricated! Do you have any idea of how an "automatical extension" can be done? Obviously I will not be in Brasil myself for those 3,5-4 months so I cannot do this physically. But maybe its possible online?

I'm not 100% sure about that but as far as I know for the permit is automatically extended once if you filled the e-DBV, you don't need to do any special procedure. I will try do call a friend of mine who used to work at the brazilian customs next week, when he returns from his vacation, and ask him.

Well according to my friend the e-DBV can be renewed online through the same system used to create the e-DBV.

So you need to fill the information before arriving to Brazil, then give the e-DBV and passport numbers to the person at the customs office at the border so person in charge can check the info. With you bike in Brazil you can renew it one time but he recommended to go online and check the info is up to date on the website a few days before the ending data. Before leaving to country you need to go the the website again to inform you pretend to leave the country and at the border again give the numbers of the e-DBV and the passport for the person in charge to check the information again.

He wadn't worked at the border for a few years now but according to him the procedure is basically the same as it was a few years ago except now you need to fill the e-DBV online instead of filling it on a paper at the customs when you arrive.

Thanks a lot for the information - much appriciated. However - it sounded a bit complicated. What if Im suddenly not allowed to renew the TIP while in Europe and have no possibility to fly back in a hurry. I think I will have to store my bike in Uruguay and just pay the extra for airtickets and for piece of mind regarding my bike.
But thanks anyway for your time and effort
