Polícia Federal
Last week I wrote about going to Receita Federal. This week I will update you guys about the Federal Police registration. A week ago I went to the Federal Police and it is just a matter of bringing the right documents and you will be fine. You need to make an appointment in advance on the website: http://www.pf.gov.br/servicos-pf/estrangeiro There all the information is listed. If you have any questions, please comment.
Once you get at the Federal Police office (in Belo Horizonte above a shopping centre, R. Francisco Deslandes, 900 - Anchieta, Belo Horizonte - MG, 30310-530) you only have to wait. I suggest you make an appointment to shorten your waiting time. If they call you, hand in all the documents and wait. Then they will probably take your fingerprints and make a photograph. And then they will tell you that they will sent a letter to your home for you to pick up your cart.
The documents you need to register at the Federal Police are:
- 2 photographs (3x4 cm)
- Visa Application form
- Proof of payment of the two fees (approx. R$ 300 !!, please check if you payed the right ones)
- Passport
- 2 copies of the passport (Identity page and visa page)
- clean fingers :3
- CPF (I did not need it but just in case)
I wish you lots of luck with getting registered at the Federal Police. It is not that hard, actually. Take care! Até a próxima!
