Hi,
I read in the blogs that Brazilian PF counts your days of stay since the first day you ever entered brasil and not starting each january 1st with a counter to be on 0.
I am an european citizen and aware of the 90-days in - 90-days out - 90-days in - 90-days in -90-days out.
Well, i have been entering Brasil April 10, 2012 for the first time for 2 weeks. i returned to brasil 7th of september in 2012. January, 5 2013 i reentered Brasil again. In April 1st 2013 i reentered again for 16 days. April 28 2013 i reenter Brasil again for 4 weeks. August 3, 2013 i reentered brasil again for 90-days (until october 31st). December 1, 2013 i reenter Brasil for 21 days. Then this year, January 13, 2014 i reentered brasil again for now being here still until April 12, when the 90-days limit expires. The question now is, if i go to PF unit to ask for extension, would that be a problem or they going to say no, since i am european or even overstay my 180 days since my entry of August 3rd 2013 or even April 2013? Will a denial be registered at PF? What if i leave April 9, 2014, and return within 2 weeks to Brasil, i would still have 3 days to stay, will PF tell me i have 3 days left or dont say anything and give a another 90-days to stay? what i dont understand is that i entered brasil in August 2013 for 3months returned to holland and entered again brasil for 3 weeks and reentered again on January 13, 2014. This will not be in line with what the Schengen policy reads us for european citizens, because i simply entered, left en reentered within a 90-days pause. I asked a lawyer in brasil and explained the 2013 situation and told me because i didnt reach 180-days. The lawyer contradicts himself by saying that i have to wait 90-days now.
Basically, i would like to know
1. if i can leave Brasil on the 87th day(3-days before my 90-days limit) and return to Brasil after 2 weeks without any problems?
2. would PF grant me only 3 days or will they grant me a 90-days stay again (silently, because they dont tell anything at GRU airport upon entry)?
