July 2022: the BR consulate is still only allowing scheduled appointments, and working with reduced staff. 😩... While everything else in DC is working, at 100%, no masks mandatory, etc...

Slow and horrible service. Honestly, it's sad to see how the disorganization in Brazil gets worse outside Brazil.

Questions & Answers

Why do you have a number if we call and send us to the site without any attendant? What's the point of that if the website is down all day, every day? For the love of God

Felippe Pedro | Oct 13, 2017
Sueli Madeira | Oct 13, 2019

In fact, the Brazilian consulate is a shame, I think that you could work better, because you are paid very well, to serve so badly, today for example I tried to speak to the consulate and I could not get all afternoon, I should have an attendant for a call fast and urgent.

Shame, in addition to putting the consulate in an inconvenient place, they don't answer the phone. A shame, portrait of Brazil in the USA.

It is located in a shopping center. I also had difficulties to find it, but the building staff pointed out correctly. Currently they only serve by appointment (covid moment) but they are very attentive. I have been there for a few weeks (schedule).

Trying to get in touch with the consulate via email for a week now. The emails keep coming back undeliverable...mailbox full. No actual person answers the phone it's all automated. What else can I do? Thank you.

You have to email the specific department that you want to reach. They usually respond within 24h. On their webpage you can find the services they offer, and what needs and what does not need appointments , as well as forms to be filled and documentation needed. Their page is cgwashington.itamaraty.gov.br/en-us/Mai .xml

Is the Consulate open at the moment? or closed due to Covid?

Sean Rush | Oct 12, 2021
Juliana Ferreira | Oct 12, 2021

Yes, it's open and working by appointment only

Just go in. I am always taken aback at how willing and ready to help people are. If you live far away, send an email first to get some more general directions if none are available on the website. Someone will likely respond within 48 hours. Speaking from experience unrelated to your particular issue.

I think you can enter Brazil with the expired passport, but you won't be able to travel out of Brazil with the expired document. If you decide to renew in the Consulado, they give it to you that same day

I was told to email the consulate with my questions. I have been trying to send them an email for about a week and the email keeps coming back undeliverable. It's states that the email box is full and cannot receive any more enauks

They don't take calls but if you didn't get a reply, you are using the wrong email. Most questions can be answered by carefully reading their website.

I would like to know if after I have all the necessary documents do I HAVE to go to the consulate to have them notarized by the consulate or by any notary and which documents must be notarized?

Kim Meira | Oct 13, 2019
Jonathan Romero | Oct 13, 2019

Which documents are you asking about? I opted to visit in person, and every thing was taken care of there. I didn't have anything previously notarized before I went in. They did everything there on the spot, and they gave me my new passport within an hour. Highly recommend going in person. It's not obviously clear online what needs to be done, but as long as you have all the requisite documents (birth certificate, etc), everything can be done in person at the consulate. We also went on a Monday, and there were only a handful of people there. The whole process (including walking to the nearby post office for a money order) took around 1 and 1/2 to 2 hrs. I did all this about a month ago. Highly recommend going in person.

My understanding from a freind in Curitiba is that you are going to eliminate the need for a U.S. or Canadian citizen to obtain a tourism visa to enter Brazil. Is this true? If so, when does it go into effect?

Bradly Mathers | Oct 13, 2019
Ghassan Taha | Oct 13, 2019

You can apply for a Visa online if you have too, not sure about the Visa waiver thing.

Guys, is the queue on Monday long? Monday is the only day I can go and I want to get there very early, like 8 am, to be the first service.

Ghassan Taha | Oct 13, 2019

You can either do it online or at the consulate. To do it in person, you need to fill an application online and bring it with you. I think they can mail it back if you want.

You can go straight to the consulate of Washington it is much easier to resolve in person have your documents and copies and your US passport in hands when showing up. They open from 9 a.m to 5 p.m if I'm not mistaken.

Is the consulate open to process tourist visas Thursday, Thanksgiving and Friday after Thanksgiving?

Giulia Carvalho | Oct 13, 2018
Jackson | Oct 13, 2018

The Consulate's website has a list of the documents you need. I think if you have your old passport or other photo ID you can use it as a replacement for your ID.

Does anybody knows if the USA and Brazil have an agreement to recognize each other’s citizens work time that counts as retirement time? Please elaborate. Thank you!

I want a power of attorney, do I have to fill out a form?

Maria Mariano | Oct 13, 2018
Kenyon Kramer | Oct 13, 2018

Unfortunately you have to do the power of attorney using templates and the necessary information and send that proxy by email to them. Then joking, you have to take a paid mail envelope and filled address for them to send later to you, instead of finishing everything at the time you are going to sign it to that power of attorney. And do not forget to bring a "USPS postal money order in the right amount to pay". And confirm before you go, in what part of the day they will attend to that specific type of operation.

I am 62 and will be traveling to Salvador, Brazil, with a stop in Bogota, Colombia. My return flight also makes a stop in Bogota, before returning to Washington. I've received conflicting information about vaccination. Which, if any, is REQUIRED?

Jorge Moraes | Oct 13, 2018
L Perdomo | Oct 13, 2018

Depends where you will be going. I traveled to Salvador and it was not required. They do ask at the airport in Salvador if you have the shots, but only if you will exit the airport in Bogota or Panamá. However, its been a monrh I was there and something might have changed. US dont requires vaccinations for you to re-enter.

Rob Smith | Oct 13, 2018
Kenyon Kramer | Oct 13, 2018

I don't think this can be done ahead of time. To apply for extension, you will have to do that while you are in the country. To overstay without extension could cause a problem getting future visas.
