All three are part of Schengen area, to Brazilians Visa is waived, then, just need the proof of health insurance, stay place (hotel, friend house invitation letter, etc) and stay payment capability like a internacional credit card. They never ask me neither items, but, is what they may request in the port of entry

They open the doors at 8 am I believe. I would get there super early in case things don't go smooth and you find out you need more stuff. Go on the webpage to find out ALL docs you need such as passport pics, birth certificate, old passport and other docs..Get the money order for 120,00 from USPS. Good luck.

My dad will be traveling to Brazil in April. He holds dual citizenship ... Brazil and USA. Can he use his American passport to travel into Brazil for 5 weeks? Should he renew his Brazilian passport? What is the best solution?

Yvette Policastro | Mar 8, 2022
Denis Akamine | Mar 8, 2022

I believe he can use his American passport. (Also he doesn't need a Brazillian Visa with American passport). It took me 4 weeks to make the passport in chicago consulate (look for "e-consular chicago" on Google for all the information, Dates, Fees and Times.)

Elizabeth Orlich | Nov 4, 2019
Adam Klunick | Nov 4, 2019

The 2 year eVISA application will take 3 days to process, and the 10 year VISA can take up to 2 weeks. As far as applying for the VISA, yes, that should be enough to at least apply. Call the consulate in LA as they have people who will answer questions over the phone.

How long does it take to process a tourist visa with an American passport?

Zee Kamara | Nov 4, 2018
Aaron Sedivy | Nov 4, 2018

At least 10 business days if you apply in person, 15 by mail, or 3-5 with the e-visa.

Am I required to have my ticket purchased prior to getting a tourist visa?

Zee Kamara | Nov 4, 2018
Aaron Sedivy | Nov 4, 2018

Yes, unless you do the online one, which is much easier, takes less time and is only $40ish. It's only good for 90 days for each year and called for two years. So if you're not in Brazil for longer than that, go with the e-visa.

Do I have to make an appointment for an expired Brazilian passport ?

Ruba Hamed | Nov 4, 2018
Aaron Sedivy | Nov 4, 2018

They do not take appointments. You will walk into the front doors, go to the info desk, present an ID for a pass and go to the elevator they direct you to. On the eighth floor, follow signs for the Brazilian Consulate. Take a number tag from the passport window and wait for your number to be called. They are very helpful, but you MUST have all required documents. The wait isn't long usually, but it is best to get there early in case you need to get other documents.

You will have to go to the consulate with your American marriage certificate and the consulate will register and give you a certificate in Portuguese. Then make the passport with the new name.

If the Visa is still valid, just be sure to bring the old passport with you on your trip. So you would be traveling with both your old expired passport with the valid visa and your new passport.

Ryan Richard | Nov 4, 2017

Get yellow fever. You don't need it to get in, unless you are not a us citizen, but you probably don't want to catch it down there. By the way Rio is beautiful just don't be afraid when you see the police standing out with rifles, they are really nice and took a picture with us. Also brush up on Portuguese
