If you haven't already done so, do a search using the name of the cruise company and use the keywords "denied boarding" as well in the search bar. See what comes up.

Personally, holding the same RNE card as you do, I've never had trouble by air from anywhere in a boarding check, including almost all the South American countries. Seriously doubt a ship will be a problem. I'm sure it's a form of identity that they've seen before.

I believe you are talking about a one-way cruise to Brazil? I had experience of this a few years ago, and when the ship arrived in port, several passport control desks were set up in a lounge on the ship, manned by Brazilian staff. Most passengers were foreigners, so there was some surprise when we showed our permanent visas, and we were waved through very easily. So you should have no hassle at all...

Not sure when you are travelling, but e-visas at the moment are not required anyway until April next year - and may get delayed further.

Hi Peter.

I'm not really concerned what happens after I'm on the ship. I know that will be fine.

I'm just wondering how easy it will be for them to let me on the ship.

Do you remember which company you cruised on?

You will not be given any visa because you have an RNE already.

If you get boarding questions just say to them that since the cruise left from XXX port, "how did I get to XXX port ?"........show them your EXIT stamp from Brasilian PP control that relates to the cruise, then point out you entered Brasil legally with that card as well, so, it's obviously valid to board going home. Escalate if necessary, but I doubt it'll ever get to that.

Don't stress by over thinking it. I've been in and out of Brasil over 65 times from various countries.......doesn't matter that it wasn't on a boat.......the counter staff from the over 20 airlines I've been on all knew their stuff, you'll be fine with a cruise line.

I've never had problems by air either.

Just a delay from ticket agent printing me a boarding pass, because they did not know what the strange looking Brazilian card was I handed them. Lol

Peter was implying that he obviously & successfully boarded cruises with an RNE card like ours.

Where is the cruise leaving from anyways ? BA ?

@Gasparzinho 777

Left Brasil by plane in 2024.

Returning

• To Brasil by boat end of 2024 from Europe.

Barcelona

@ExpatUSATravels

I cruised from Barcelona to Recife, and never had any problem getting on board.

@Peter Itamaraca Hi, Peter. What’s the travel time from Barcelona to Recife?

I think it was about 10 or 11 days on a relocation cruise, with 3 or 4 stops on the way...
