RIO GUIDE
Many visitors are granted up to 90 days, but the permitted stay and the possibility of an extension depend on nationality and the applicable immigration rules. Do not assume everyone automatically receives 90 + 90 days.
In the most common tourist regime, stays of up to 90 days are authorized. Some nationalities may extend the visit up to a maximum of 180 days within the corresponding immigration period; others have different limits or do not allow extensions due to reciprocity.
Check the General Visa Regime table and the date recorded on entry. The validity of a passport or visa is not the same as the number of days you are authorized to stay.
The request must be submitted before the current authorized stay expires. The Federal Police reviews the application and may approve or deny it; submitting a request does not guarantee approval.
Valid travel document; entry/exit record or proof; application form; proof of fee payment; and any additional document requested by the officer.
You may be asked for proof of accommodation, sufficient funds for the additional days and a return or onward ticket. Carry statements, cards, bookings or other clear and consistent proof.
The payment slip is generated and paid, the form is completed, and then you must attend a Federal Police unit with immigration services for an interview and review. Check beforehand whether an appointment is required.
Overstaying may lead to a fine and notice to regularize your status or leave. Do not wait until the airport: an immigration fine cannot be resolved by improvising minutes before your flight.
