Hey Guys,
My Brazil Visa expires in May 2008. Will I have any problems with entry into Brazil if I travel there in Late January or early February?
A buddy of mine has informed me That I need to have at least 6 months of time left in order to enter. Is this true? My Passport doesn't expire until 2010.
Thanks
I travelled to Brasil in late January of 2007 with a visa that expired in early May of 2007. I did not have any problems at all.
You will not have any problem. As longer as you are traveling before your Visa expires, you are good. Thanks again for the photos and info.

[/QUOTE]The 6 mos requirement is as to your passport. You passport must have at least 6 mos remaining to be issued a Visa. And many countries, not sure about Brazil, require that you have a passport good for at least 6 mos after your scheduled return flight.
I was in Brazil in December, with a visa that expires Jan 7, 2008. No problem at all.
Another point to consider is if your passport has only 6 months to say 3 or 4 years before it expires. There is a good chance you will not be issued a 5 year visa.. Best to try and get a new passport..
Hey guys,
I've been mongering for quite a while, mostly in northern South America and all Central America.
Never been to Brazil but that's about to change. :)
My question is: I speak very good spanish, I imagine I'll pick up portuguese as I go. Do most most chicas understand spanish though, at least somewhat?
Is the language similar?
Thanx! Happy New Year

Thanx! Happy New Year[/QUOTE]I would say it does help to speake spanish to understand some of their words and some what of what they say. To put it to you this way 45% of portugese sounds spanish. Take a course or buy the cd by pimsleur wich help me alot. I speake spanish but their is a difference in the way you speake both languages.

Yep to both questions. But working the other way around I have a friend who went to the DR a few weeks ago. He only spoke Portuguese and English. He said by the second day somehow he was able to flow with Spanish. By that same token my first time in Colombia I was able to understand Spanish because I already knew Portuguese. A big difference is many of the words will be spelled the same but may have different pronunciations. But seeing that they are both Latin based you should not have a big problem, especially with reading, because they generally have the same roots.

Speaking Portuguese, but not Spanish, I find I am able to understand Spanish speakers, and they, me, at about a 50/50 ratio. I navigated Buenos Aires fairly well with just Portuguese.
OTOH, a friend of mine who speaks very good Spanish visited Rio and said that people seemed to understand him fairly well, but he couldn't understand them very well at all.
Just Spanish is not ideal, but you should get by.
Hi guys. I have been getting more interested in Brazil as time goes by. When I travel I have usually stayed in the Spanish Speaking countries, not counting a trip to the Philippines. But Brazil just fascinates me. Maybe they myths that do but I want to know. Here are some questions I want to know if are true.
Are most Brazilian women bi-sexual? It seems, from stories I have heard from friends who have visited, that most like girls and have no problem with eating a girl out and helping there boyfriend pick up another girl.
Are most Brazilian women very sexual and sex is not a bad thing like it is in some Latin American countries.?
non-pro Brazilian women will have sex with a stranger. Its not a big deal?
If you marry a brazilian girl and bring her back to the States or U.K., she will grow restless and not be able to adopt to the cold weather and the fact that there are no beaches like Rio?
AIDs is an issue in the country because Brazilian men have sex with other Brazilian men and then have sex with girls?
Obviously there is a lot of generalization in these questions. Brazil is a big country. Are girls more liberal and non religious in Rio and ect then they are in inland?
If I go to Brazil would it be hard to meet a regular girl? Is there so many pros that it is hard to find a non-pro?-I experienced this in the Philippines.
What are prices for 24 hours with a pro girl? Thanks guys I appreciate all the help I can get.

[QUOTE=Leblon]I have been cheated lot of money by these abortions in Brasil, two times. I have to write reports of these sometimes for others to be not as stupid as me.
Just word of warning: don't do sex with the girls without condoms. You can get fatal sickness of course, but more probable risk is following: You are back on your own country, girl contacts you and says she is pregnant[/QUOTE]
No problem dude. This ex-pro who is a good friend of mine now tried to pull that on me when we first met. She told me that she needed $x to go to the doctor because she was pregnant with my baby. I pretended to be very excited and asked her when the appointment was because I would like to return to Rio so that we could go to the doctor together. She never mentioned it again.
Im sure I will but this is a huge forum. The biggest one on the site. I thought maybe someone could explain it if they had the time.
