根因分析
巴西的南共市居住协议(Acordo de Residência do Mercosul)允许南共市国家(阿根廷、乌拉圭、巴拉圭等)公民申请 2 年居留,但美国/英国公民不符合资格;他们限于每 365 天 90 天旅游签证(可延长一次 90 天),去阿根廷的“签证跑”不会重置时间——在任何 365 天窗口内,在巴西的总停留时间不能超过 180 天
English
Brazil's Mercosur Residence Agreement (Acordo de Residência do Mercosul) allows nationals of Mercosur countries (Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, etc.) to apply for 2-year residence, but US/UK citizens are NOT eligible; they are limited to 90-day tourist visa (extendable once for 90 days) per 365-day period, and a 'visa run' to Argentina does not reset the clock—the total stay in Brazil cannot exceed 180 days in any 365-day window

-
Before the 90-day tourist visa expires, apply for a 90-day extension at the Polícia Federal office using the SISMIGRA online system (https://www.gov.br/pf/pt-br/assuntos/imigracao/sismigra). This gives a total of 180 days in Brazil. After that, you must leave for 365 days
-
For stays over 180 days, apply for a Temporary Visa (e.g., VITEM IV for study, VITEM V for work) from the Brazilian embassy in your home country before travel; these visas allow 1-2 year stays with multiple entries
-
If you overstay, pay the fine (R$ 100/day) at the Polícia Federal before departure; the fine does not trigger a re-entry ban if paid within 60 days of overstay. Use the SISMIGRA portal to generate the payment slip (GRU)

常见但无效的做法:
-
96% 失败
Brazilian Federal Police tracks total stay in any 365-day period; leaving to Argentina does not reset the clock—the 90-day limit accumulates across all entries. After 90 days in Brazil, you must leave for 365 days before returning
-
100% 失败
The Mercosur Residence Agreement only applies to nationals of Mercosur member states (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela—suspended) and associated states (Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname); US/UK citizens are explicitly excluded
-
50% 失败
The extension is possible once (total 180 days), but only if applied before the first 90 days expire; after that, overstay fines apply (R$ 100 per day) and further extension is impossible
