Do you think the Brazilian authorities will give me a hard time when I present my Israeli passport on entrance or exit, in particular because I will be arriving from / departing to the United States, but my Israeli passport obviously does not contain a US visa?
Is this something I should be concerned about?
Thanks in advance!
I have two friends in NYC that have green cards but have used their German passports to enter and exit Brazil in order to avoid obtaining a visa. Neither have had any issues with Brazilian customs officials.
