Obtaining a Brazil tourist visa
02-13-2014, 01:54 PM
I've traveled quite a bit but I've never traveled to a country which required a visa to be granted prior to entry. I pulled the trigger and bought tickets to Brazil for the World Cup this summer and now I need to get my visa. I don't live anywhere near an embassy or consulate so I will probably need to use an expediting service.
Does anyone here have experience with that? Is there a company you would recommend that's cheaper or more reliable? Any help would be appreciated.

Hey OP,
What city are you from in the US?
I used Its Easy in NYC. They have a location in DC as well. Instead of going to the Brazilian consulate in Houston (Im in Dallas/FW), I had a business trip and worked with Its Easy. Cost me around $200-225.00 but I paid nothing for shipping because was in NYC for a 9 day business trip back in August. This was back in 2011. They should help you get a 10 year tourist visa.

I will be in Rio Jun 18-24 and then outside of Recife from Jun 24-28th. Unfortunately I haven't been able to score any tickets yet but I'm just happy to be in country while the games are happening. I live in NW Florida on the panhandle at the moment.

Since you live in Florida, you will work with the Miami consulate to get your Brazil visa.

I actually went ahead and sent my paperwork to It's Easy right before I saw this post. I suppose I paid far more than I really had to but you live and you learn I guess.
Well, at least you're paying for convenience. They'll do all the legwork for you.
Note to everyone on here, for future reference use visahunter.com for finding visa information ANYWHERE. My boy who lives in Rio created the site. Cool guy who did painstaking research to find that info. Doesn't charge a penny for it either.
