Hi William et al.!!
I have been living/volunteering/working in Uberaba, MG on a tourist visa for the last three months. I unfortunately learned that my visa expired one day ago and the Federal Police can't extend my visa because their computer systems won't allow it. They have advised me to leave the country. I need to stay for an additional month to finish my volunteer position so I am trying to find the best solution. The employees at the Federal Police suggested I leave the country and immediately re-enter for the rest of my stay. They suggested I visit Foz de Iguacu and speak with the Federal Police there. One problem though- they suggested I would not be able to fly to Iguacu Falls as this would alert the authorities that I am living in Brazil beyond my visa and would trigger a response of some sort (i.e. fine, deportation and/or problems re-entering the country in the future). So...long story short, can I fly on domestic flights in Brazil when I am already beyond the 90 days allowed by my tourist visa? Also, what R$ fine do I need to pay for my extra stay? Thank you!
