EU citizen can no longer extend visa?

Hi, is it true that EU citizens no longer can extend visa for another 90 days?

Probably, if you entered as a tourist under the Brazil-EU Visa Waiver Agreement.  According to the  Agreement, you're allowed 90 days in-country during each consecutive 180 days, rather than the 180 days (one 90 day period, and one permitted extension) during each consecutive 365 days that normal tourist visas provide.  Obviously, it works out to be the same number of days in a year, but, while easier on travelers initially, the EU agreement ends up being tougher on people who want to extend their stays.
But this is Brazil, so it can't hurt to talk to the Federal Police before your 90 days are up.

Any citizen who has received a Brazilian tourist visa or not if he or she does not leave the country in time can go to the immigration department and ask to delay the visa or continue to travel there, but in this case will have to pay a fine of about R $ 900 for all days above the time indicated in the visa and in this case you can receive another visa only within 180 days. if you do not pay this fine you will have difficulties receiving a visa the next time you should pay the fine and only then you can have the visa.

the fine is updated to 100 a day at maximum 10k not 900 anymore please be updated before you write answer

General statements like the above can be very misleading:  Brazil's visa policies differ by country and sometimes by individual, and not all tourist visas are renewable.  It's important for visitors, especially those with any doubt about the extendability of their visas, not to wait until the last minute, or until they've overstayed, to check with the Federal Police.
