Translation: Is it possible to consult immigration records directly in the RJ archives on the official Brazilian website? I tried but I can't find the immigration records.
Actually, this collection is still available on FamilySearch, but there are missing indexes. I will have to do some investigating to see what happened.

@SerraNola any update? Can you clarify if there is an error or if the images have become restricted?

@FrancescaVarney Yes, the entire collection of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro Immigration records have been restricted to adhere to Brazil's personal privacy regulations. Those that were searchable from the collection landing page were mistakenly available and have since been taken down. I apologize for not posting this information earlier.
