Hello all, I am new to to the forum and would appreciate some advice if anyone can give it.
I have read Jame's very clear post about marriage in Brazil prior to posting this.
I proposed to my girlfriend over Christmas. I am a British citizen currently residing in Recife, PE and although I don't need a visa to stay in this country for 90 days... I have extended my stay a further 90 days already which will run out on the 6th of February.
We are planning to marry on the 7th of March and I have read that I can overstay my visa but will have to pay 8.50 reais per day. My question is basically... is this ok? Will they process our marriage if I am not legally allowed to be in the country or is paying the fine allowing me to stay in the country? Will this cause complications down the line?
I know people won't advocate staying in the country illegally, but any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
