20 left Brazil and 28 returned between 09/14 and 10/14, according to the Federal Revenue
The Integration Bridge, which connects Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil) to Presidente Franco (Paraguay), recorded 48 private vehicles between September 14 and October 14, according to the Federal Revenue. Of those, 20 vehicles traveled from Brazil to Paraguay and 28 made the reverse trip, carrying just over 50 passengers.
The crossing of private vehicles over the Integration Bridge was counted at 48 units in the first month of opening for passenger cars, according to a Federal Revenue survey.
Between September 14 and October 14, 20 vehicles left Brazil heading to Paraguay and 28 returned to Foz do Iguaçu, totaling just over 50 passengers in both directions.
One of the main obstacles to crossing by car is the requirement for the Border Vicinal Transit Document (DTVF). The issuance of the DTVF is authorized only for residents of Foz do Iguaçu, Ciudad del Este, Presidente Franco and Hernandarias, according to migration authorities. Therefore, Brazilian residents in Paraguay with permanent migration documentation cannot request the document at this time, leaving the International Friendship Bridge as the only crossing alternative.
On the Paraguayan side, the National Migration Directorate announced in October a public competition to hire eight migration inspectors who will operate at the bridge control post in Presidente Franco.
