Brazilian Business Visa Information
Visas for Brazil are processed in one of six cities depending on where you live in the US.
To ensure that your visa is processed correctly,
|
A passport and visa are required
for U.S. citizens traveling to Brazil for any purpose including
business. Brazilian business visas must be obtained in advance
from the Brazilian Embassy or consulate nearest to the traveler's
place of residence. There are no "airport business visas,"
and immigration authorities will refuse entry to Brazil to
any business traveler not possessing a valid business visa.
All Brazilian business visas, regardless of the length of
validity, must initially be used within 90 days of the issuance
date or will no longer be valid. Immigration authorities will
not allow entry into Brazil without a valid visa. The U.S.
Government cannot assist business travelers who arrive in
Brazil without proper documentation.
In response to the introduction of the US-VISIT program, on
January 1, 2004 the Government of Brazil began fingerprinting/photographing
all U.S. citizens arriving in Brazil. In the first six weeks
of 2004, two U.S. citizens were fined (an average $15,000
each) for making obscene gestures while being photographed
at a Brazilian port of entry. Travelers are reminded that
they are subject to local law, and that showing contempt to
a government official is a serious offense in Brazil. (Fines
for such offenses are based on the offender’s claimed
income.) Additionally, business travelers who have recently
visited certain countries, including most other Latin American
countries may be required to present an inoculation card indicating
they had a yellow fever inoculation or they may not be allowed
to board the plane or enter the country.
