AFIK, there are a zillion places where you can cross the border in Santana without the feds. Never been there though. My only colleague that would know has already left.

Hi guys, umm, i need help on something similar to seelix.
Not getting into it right now, but would appreciate somebody who can guide me through the ins and of any border points along uruguay border..If the entry point is uruguay side..
we on other hand would like to avoid entry stamp BR side...
Please PM if anybody can help, and before anybody asks, NO its not for illegal purposes, and yes for an urgent matter which due to circumstances out of our control , cannot go by regular means... thanx again guys

Jazz,

I kind of feel like from my research that if you cross from Uruguay into Brazil, via the plaza, and don't take yourself to an official to "check in" and get your passport stamped, you'll accomplish what you are looking for.  As long as you make sure to get stamped out of Brazil, and then cross the border back into it...theoretically, you would still be considered "out" of Brazil.

It's not like in the US (if that is where you are from) when you cross from Mexico to USA or Canada...there aren't any border patrol agents waiting there to stamp you in and out.  So if you don't make the conscious effort to go, I think you'll be good.  Maybe just try not to walk across the border with tons of bags, bc then that might look a little suspicious. haha

I think you would have a harder time in Chuy/Chui bc that is a bigger access point and they don't have an "open border" setup like Rivera/Santana.
