, already got viper visa. (permanent visa)RNE, CIE also , stayed back in brazil for 1 year. then due to job and business requirement,left Brazil, now i am living abroad for the past 1 year. but my family is still there in brazil. i would like to know about my visa validity and my CIE card. both will get cancelled automatically if i stay out of brazil more than 2 consecutive years?
i have read this in DPF website. if so before completing 2 years of continues stay abroad, mere visit to brazil and get the passport sealed at immigration brazil would make the visa stay for another 2 year abroad ? and the CIE validity also will get extended automatic along with this?
