Overstay in rio

Just wondering, why so many people overstay? The laws can change but they are granted only a certain time to be in Brasil as well as the majority of other countries.
Yes Brasil will fine someone, but other countries deport you!

It´s genetic in nature. You were born the way you are now....

Do you just come to these threads to complain about people overstaying there visa. Strange that it bothers you so. Plently of worse things happening in the wolrd to worry about. Namaste

If that seems petty to you and don´t deserve attention you´re mistaken. Smaller things become bigger things due to people being emboldened. Crimes repeated no matter the size influences other people to commit bigger crimes. Plenty of worse things are happening in the world already as you yourself mentioned that we don´t need anymore for our own detriment as governments throw harsher punishments like incarceration to deter "plenty of worse things happening in the world."

It´s so easy to mention a criticism if it doesn´t involve one´s country. I´m sure Ireland wouIdn´t be so happy if it happens there and I`m sure Norway does protect its borders even if you´re willing to stay in Svalbard!

I have overstayed my student visa by three years now with the new increase in penalties for overstaying i cannot afford to leave Brazil. I need advice and help. I want to leave Rio now to go back to USA

Hi Janeblu,

If you don't have sources to pay the fine, you can request a tax exemption. It's not hard if you get some orientation. Everything will be fine.

I dont believe it's required to pay the multa before requesting another type of Visa. I was able to get another type of visa even with an open multa on y tourist visa. Maybe the Brazilian Consulates use another system, but they did not mention it during my consulate visit

Hi Shayf, I can tell you about Brazilian policy because I've been working with this for several years.

Once you get a fine, there is two way to solve it.
1 - This is the easiest way. You should get your situation regular BEFORE leaving the country. In this case, is it possible to argue that you are not able to pay it (although is possible to be done by yourself, it's hard)
2 - If you have left the country after the fine was applied, then you have to pay for it. At the airport when you are leaving, the police will ask you to sign a paper that you are aware of the fine. After this, you have two options. One is paying the fine at the airport before leaving in local currency (Brazilian Reais), and that is it. The other option is taking the paper "bill" with you then pay it at the brazilian consulate in your country ( in this case you pay in local currency). 

Policia Federal and INTERPOL share information about VISA.
The fine value is up to R$10.000

In Brazil, we don't have a specific policy for extradition (until now). However, in the practice what happens is the same. If you arrive here without have paid the fee, I can't get in and the same company that you took the flight will arrange a seat in the next flight back to your country.
