Overstay penalties

$ 100

Under the Migration Law, staying in Brazil after the legal period of one's migration document has run out is punished with a fine for each day of excess, and with deportation if the person does not leave or regularise their status within the period set. For infractions by individuals, the law sets fines between R$ 100 and R$ 10,000. Paying the fine does not prevent refusal of entry if the visitor has already used up the stay available in the migratory year.
