How is it normal when others have been getting issued with TVIP since nearly 2 years ago when the world cup system reverted to normal. Do you have any reference for this. Are motobikes exempt from a TVIP. Are there special circumstances or exemptions applying to the OP that wouldn't apply to normal tourists. Could you share your reasoning for declaring it condition normal.

Could it be that they thought the OP was just doing the day trip sightseeing run to the falls and back to Argentina rather than entering Brazil for an extended visit.

Hello Chelo,

i entered at the same border last year and also wasn´t able to get a TIP

Nevertheless i guess you never got controlled by the policia rodovaria...they would ask you for a tip and if you don´t have one they are able to confiszcate your vehicle.

of course you can cross and leave the country as long nobody else checks it. but at least trying to get a tip is recommended, if you are not able to keep the copies from the last country you have visited!

[QUOTE]I see that you are in a righteous mood [QUOTE]

I much prefer to be right (as in "correct") than righteous.


Ah, yes. 2016 was the Olympics - August. A couple of border crossings were still not issuing TVIP but some were. I didn't get a TVIP in March 2016 when I came in to Brazil but that would be very outdated advice so I wouldn't offer it as current advice. I also managed to "escape" without car papers after leaving the vehicle in Brasilia for 12 months but I also wouldn't offer that up as sound advice either.

That was then. Now January 2018. More border crossings are issuing TVIP now and in fact I believe there is an online system for completing the documentation before you arrive at the border - see

iOverlander | Immigration Brazil for an example of more RECENT advice for example

One entry from Paraguay to Brazil has and is dated March 2017.

at Corumba March 2017


Apparently the website to do your TVIP online is at Website is www.edbv.receita.fazenda.gov.br but I haven't checked personally.



TVIP or "Car Papers" are also mentioned at other borders into brazil

iOverlander | Aduana Brasil - Temporary import papers

iOverlander | Receita Federal Brasil, Aduana, Ponta Porã

iOverlander | federal policia

iOverlander | Border post - Brazil

and all have recent entries.



and for the border you crossed (and the one I crossed)

"entering brazil took us 15 minutes. they looked at the liscense plate from the car. they did not look in the car, so no worries for fruit/veggies or meat. they did ask about the cost of the car, they needed to know for the car papers. we got 90 days for the car and ourselfs." - dated Novemver 2017

If you have advice that is a little more current, could you add it to iOverlander so travelers can get up-to-date advice. It is important to be well informed.

PS, Just looked it up. My earliest information on TVIP reintroduction after the world cup was an email date March 2016 which said Perhaps motos are treated differently
