Hello,

I will be returning to Brazil on April 5th and so far during the year since I first entered Brazil on May 23, 2022, I have accumulated 83 days.

1) Am I correct that I will need to apply for and receive a tourist VISA extension when I re-enter Brazil on April 5th?聽聽聽聽聽聽

2) Does the lookback period reset on the anniversary date?聽聽聽聽聽聽

02/27/23 @rsahm99.聽 If you arrive on April 5, 2023, the system will look back at the 365 days prior to that date and count how many of those days you were in Brazil.聽聽The number of days that the Immigration Officer will give you is 180 minus that number, or 90 days, whichever is less.聽

On the first of every month the oldest month drops off that lookback, and you get back any days you used in that month.聽 So on June 1, you'll get back the days you used in May 2022.
