If you are wondering how to start your residency or have an entry stamp while in Brazil, because sometimes, especially when you cross the borders of Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay, the buses do not stop at the border control/immigration, so you will be in Brazil without records, which can cause problems when you leave the country.
So if you are in Brazil and do not have an entry stamp in your passport or records, you must go to the Federal Police to register your entry and have your passport stamped or ID registered.
- Appointments are made by appointment, which can be made online or by email from the unit where the immigrant resides. Follow the specific guidelines and restrictions of your location.
- If you have an emergency situation in the immigration area, you can send an email to the unit in your region. Check the list of emails for each PF unit. Look in the table for the city where you live and send your message to the responsible unit.
The Federal Police provides the address and contact details of each service unit on its official website. For more information, click here .
