Hey Everyone.
Hope you all are well.
I'm looking for an answer to a very specific question.
I'm from USA and have a permanent Visa & RNE card.
INFO ABOUT ME
My Visa Expires in June 2020
My RNE Card Expires in SEPT 2020.
MY 4 QUESTIONS
If I travel to the USA in "February 2020" for example:
1) and my visa is about to expire 4 months later
and my RNE card is about to expire 7 months later...
Then can I renew both of them from "outside" of Brazil?
2) If I am 60 years old in February of 2020 after I arrive in the USA and then a few months later both my RNE Card and my Permanent Visa expire while I am 60 years old and while I am traveling outside of Brasil, do I get any special permissions?
I heard that I do not have to renew my RNE card after I am 60 years.
But can I be outside of Brasil when I turn 60?
3) DO I STILL HAVE TO RETURN to Brasil every 2 years even if I am 60?
And I have an RNE Card or Permanent Visa?
I'm guessing the answer is Yes I still have to return every 2 years, but I do not have to do all the paperwork to renew my RNE card every 9 years any longer.
4) I am assuming that I still will need a regular 10 year Permanent Visa attached to my USA Passport, and that I will always have to keep that current and valid to enter Brasil.
Or will I not need the Permanent Visa in my Passport any longer due to the fact that I am 60 years old and I have an RNE card that does not expire ever since I am 60?
Basically I am asking in this question if my RNE card (when I am over the age of 60) can replace any and all other Brazilian documents needed to enter Brasil if I am over 60 and my RNE card never expires?
These details are nowhere on the internet or the Federal Police Website.
Or at least I haven't seen any.
The only thing that is published on the Federal Police Website is that after you reach the age of 60 years you DO NOT have to renew your (RNE) card - also known as (CIE) ever again. That it does not expire.
I do not have time to go to the Federal Police to ask them this,
but I do have time to call them on the phone if they will answer questions like this over the phone.
Thanks so much for your time to help me get to the bottom of this issue!
