Appointment at the Polícia Federal

Kurterino

A friend of mine needs to go see the Polícia Federal, and since he has been coming to Brazil for at least 20 years (always as a visa-exempt tourist), he’s used to just go there, without making an appointment. After checking their website (PF in Salvador/Bahia), I got the impression that they no longer serve walk-ins, that you need an appointment for literally everything.

Has anyone tried this recently? I don’t want to tell him to make an appointment if it isn’t necessary, but I’m afraid he’ll go there for nothing.
