Hello,
This is my first post, so hello everyone.
I have a complicated situation and I can't find any information on internet that can help me.
To sum it up: I want to go to brazil from January 2014 to Mid-July 2014. I will be travelling through south America before these dates. I currently live in France and I have French & American passports.
Since I plan to stay in Brazil nearly 7 months I have a problem. First of all, now you can't extend a French tourist visa (since 2011) so I was thinking of going to the Brazilian embassy in Paris to get a tourist visa on my American passport, and extent it to 6 months when I am in Brazil. But then there is still 1 & a half months that I won't be able to stay in Brazil without being in a illegal situation. So I was thinking of leaving the country near the end of the extension of my American tourist visa for a couple of days (in Argentina for example) and come back on the territory with my French passport.
So basically:
I would get a visa on my American passport for 90 days that I would extend to 180 days, then I would use the "automatic" 90 days you get with a French passport.
Do you think this would work?
Does anyone have any other solution to stay 7 and a half months? Any help would be welcome!
Thank you in advance,
Chris
