Renewing Digital Nomad Visa + Obtaining Cartao RNE

Bump

Hi @fowzee

• It was already taking around 2 months last year, and I think it is even longer as posted by others in the forum
• If you decide to go, and your application is rejected, you can always come back as a tourist as the time spent as a resident does not count against a tourist stay. But this is open to interpretation by airline/border officials and could be risky.
• Check out this thread: https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1062735 for the last question.

I would normally postpone travel just for my own peace in such a situation, but of course you always renew that 30 days certificates and make your trip. And I guess I am being overly cautious, Brazilian officials should be aware of all the delays and I would expect them to be more understanding.

Just keep in mind that when your application is accepted, you will have to go to the federal police in person in 30 days to complete the process.

thanks for the response - one other question - I applied to have it renewed for 2 years instead of 1 - have you heard of 2 year renewals ever being granted? Given the length of time this process takes, its practically time to renew again if you only do it for one year (and the fewer times I have to deal with this, the better).
