Passport and Visa Regulations
|
|
A visa is required for foreign citizens (including United States
citizens) wishing to visit Brazil. The usual requirements to apply
for a visa are: two passport-size photographs, proof of roundtrip
airfare and the duly-completed application form in duplicate.
Visas are generally processed within two working days.
Delegates are advised to check with the Brazilian Embassy or
Consulate in their own country if a visa is required for the
purposes of their visit to Brazil. Please mention the purpose
of the trip, as 'meeting attendance' might have a different visa
status in different countries. Delegates are also urged to
process their visa requests at the earliest date possible,
preferably at least three weeks before their scheduled travel date.
They must also bring a valid passport.
Delegates should also be aware that, according to Brazilian
health regulations, participants arriving from the following
countries MUST carry an international health/vaccination card
(issued by the World Health Organization) which states that a
Yellow Fever vaccination has been taken no less than 10 days
prior to departure:
South America: Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela
and French Guiana;
Africa: Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon,
Congo, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone
and Sudan.
Please be aware that some Delegates in order to obtain a visa
at the Brazilian Consulate/Embassy, in his/her country of origin,
must get a Letter of Invitation from the host Administration.
