Observations
The issuance of a visa is a discretionary act of the Republic of Brazil. Since this is a purely discretionary act, there can be no guarantees regardless of the circumstances presented. A visa can be granted, denied, extended or changed according to national interests, even if it is a visa previously authorized. A visa is not a right in itself, but an expectation to be admitted.
Whenever there is a doubt on the purpose of the trip, the identity of the applicant, or if the applicant is aggressive or disrespectful with the Consular personnel, the visa can be denied or one also may be required to be interviewed by a consular officer, who may request additional documents or information.
The applicant must collect
her/his passport
in person
at the Consular Section. |
Other Relevant Information:
- This visa is good for multiple entries, for the time of the visa´s duration;
- Arrival in Brazil must occur within 90 days from the date of issuance of the visa;
- General conditions are subject to change without prior notice;
- The requirements listed above should not, in any way, be considered all-inclusive. The Consular Sector of the Brazilian Embassy reserves the right to apply additional requirements, when they are deemed necessary.
Documentation returned by mail:
Applicants should provide the Embassy with a self-addressed stamped envelope of suitable size.
