    Returning home through Brasil

    I ask before if you need Visa to go through Brasilia.

    You do, there is not any in transit area.

    Lucky for me i go home the same I came in, through. A 5 hour shorter trip.

    Any current info from anyone on the board???

    Instead of making the trip, you can renew your visa once a year at the immigration office near Retiro. I have no idea hw much it is today but it used to be $300p.

    My buddy and I flew to Asuncion from Rio.

    They airline did not check our Visas. We did not either.

    They had expired and we got sent back to Rio.

    But, the airline made the mistake, so we got a free round trip to Fortaleza.

    It was a longer flight than to Asuncion.
    Came in this morning. I asked the immigration officer if in future just a copy of the visa would suffice. He said no, always bring the old passport.

Until you have a sticker in the new passport bring the old one. If you don't and you have to buy a new one don't say you were not told. Argentinos don't like change, they like what they expect. They expect somebody who has a new passport to show up with both of their passports, new and old with sticker.

    You have been told this by several people who have done it, now just do it and pass on through. If you don't, and you have problems, and post about it complaining I'll most likely say I told you so a lot.

    I tried to call their number in Argentina, but got hung up on before I could talk to anyone.

    54 11 5080 3030 or 0810 666-7768.

    I still have 5 years on the stamp/insert.

    The embassy guy said even if I bring the old passport, it will not work.
    No worries. I had a similar issue recently. I brought my old passport and it worked.

    Chill, it works. I have been doing this for two years. I wouldn't have recommended this if I did not have experience.
