[QUOTE=Poucolouco]Happens all the time. You should carry both passports. The visa is still valid.[/QUOTE]

Travelling with two passports
[QUOTE=Questner]Question: Plan to travel to Rio from NYC on Canadian passport without visa and enter BR on a second passport of one of the countries on the list that requires no tourist visa. BR embassy said it's OK but I want to double check. Any suggestions?[/QUOTE]
This seems logical and legal but the Brasilian Policia Federal are not always logical. They have individual authority to delay or deny entry based on suspicion. Why depart NYC on the Canadian passport? The question arises, does your third country passport have entry and exit stamps for legally being in the United States? If so, it should be no problem because you are travelling under the permission of that third country. You may just have to take one for the team on this situation and tell us how it worked.
