Go to the international airport (GIG), terminal 1, floor 3. Follow the signs to the immigration office. Tell them you want to renew and they'll direct you to the correct line.
After filing out a form, they give you an invoice and you go to the bank on the same floor to pay the fee (67 R$). Then go back to the office and hopefully you'll visa will be ready. That's it.
I didn't need a credit card, proof of ongoing travel, or bank statements... only my passport and the money.
Note that you get three months extra based on when you go. So if your initial stamps expires January 22 and you go to renew on January 20, you'll get a stamp until April 20. So just wait until the last day.
You can stay in brazil for six months and then you have to leave for six months. Border runs don't work. If you overstay then you simply pay a fine. I think it runs about 100-200 R$ per month overstay but I'm not certain.
Boa sorte
