Temporary vehicle import to Brazil
A visa and a vehicle are different law: the person and the car are given their terms by different authorities, and those terms need not match.
- Maximum term
- 730
- How the term is counted
- together with the driver’s stay
- Carnet de Passages
- Not required
- Extension
- Possible
For a foreign tourist’s private vehicle, the temporary import period is the same as the tourist’s authorized stay in Brazil, but Receita Federal allows extensions of the vehicle’s regime up to a total of 2 years when the tourist is temporarily absent from Brazil; there is no separate shorter limit by vehicle type.
O prazo de vigência do Regime [...] será: a) O mesmo prazo concedido ao turista estrangeiro quando o veículo for destinado a seu uso. [...] *o prazo de permanência poderá ser prorrogado por até 2 (dois) anos, no total, contados da data de admissão*
