On this same subject...
Has anyone *not* entered Brazil within 90 days of aquiring the visa as required? I have a perfect opportunity to renew my visa in SF next month, but don't plan on going to Brazil until Jan.

I would say that they are very strict about the 90 day rule. An acquaintance of mine actually did enter Brazil within 90 days of getting his visa, but the ink on his Brazilian entry stamp was very light and later another country stamped an entry over the top of it. When he arrived in Brazil the next time they refused him entry saying that the visa was invalid because he had not entered within 90 days (he later found the overstamped original entry and was able to convince them to let him in).
