An
emergency visa V may be promptly
granted, with a duration of
30 days, under very exceptional
circumstances. The Embassy
will consider such applications
when it is evident that the
applicant's immediate presence
in Brazil is essential to
remedy emergency and/or unforseen
situations. The nature of
the situation must be clearly
and concisely spelled out
on the employer's letter;
routine services obviously
do not qualify for this type
of visa. The Embassy otherwise
informs that such emergency
visas, even under the most
exceptional of circumstances,
cannot be granted more than
once in ninety days. |
| |
•
|
Interns and volunteers are
prohibited from holding any
paid job in Brazil. |
| |
•
|
For
extended stays (a minimum
of 6 months) the same type
of visa can be issued to immediate
family members. Those are,
however, prohibited from engaging
in any paid activity in Brazil. |
|
•
|
Medical or dental services
can only be provided, on any
circumstances, once the proper
authorization by a Conselho
de Medicina is issued. |
|
•
|
First
arrival in Brazil must take
place within 90 days from
the date the visa was issued. |
| •
|
This
visa is good for multiple
entries within the visa's
duration. If necessary, a
visa extension may be issued
by the Federal Police in Brazil,
if requested at least 30 days
prior to the expiration of
the authorized stay (special
requirements apply). However,
a visa granted under the waiver
procedure identified above
will have a validity of not
more than 30 days and will
not be eligible for an extension.
Internships and medical residence
visas are not eligible for
extension either. |
| •
|
Whenever
the planned stay exceeds 90
days, registration with the
Federal Police in Brazil is
mandatory within 30 days from
first arrival in the country
(together with the passport,
you must submit the original
visa application form that
will be returned to you by
the Embassy once the visa
is issued). |
| |
• | Visa

African Republic, Comoros,
