General Info

[BayBoy]

I can confirm this link is valid. (I already had it saved).

Yesterday evening, I applied for a travel visa at the above link. As a US citizen, it cost me $44 to get a tourist visa. You will need a picture of your current / active US passport and a passport photo to upload to the online visa application. I do not know if this is typical, but I received by eVisa this morning in less than 24 hours! I can stay up to 90 days in Brazil and it expires in two years. I was hoping for 10 years, but I will not complain about the speed!

I hope this is useful to someone.

Thanks for the info. That tourist Visa sounds like just what I would want. $44 is a lot better than $160.

How much is a Brazilian visa nowadays? I haven't been to Brazil in about 12 years.

I paid 160 us 6 month ago and good for 10 years from USA.

MY Aussie friend paid 35 us so each country is different.

Thanks for the info. I'm considering going back to Brazil. It used to be $100.

Has anyone ever brought a firestick down to Brazil? Did it work?

Thank you!

PPMM is commonly used on gpguia.net, but I can't find it anywhere else. Does someone know what it means? Thanks in advance.

During New Years timeframe which is high high season the city of Rio will be packed with tourists from all over the world including Brazilians and Argentinians. So hotels and apartments will be higher priced and since its only 6 weeks away good luck with airfare and getting a hotel. Sure some may still be available but you will pay. It's a fun time and I'm sure there will plenty of girls there to take the tourists money. But probably some days on the holidays itself establishments will be closed like termas etc.

Airfare is expensive from the states but I'm in Mexico now and will not be returning to the states. I find flights RT from cancun at less than 1 k us. Lodging is another matter. I might just start off in SP. Thanks for your input.

For those of you who frequent Brazil. Any opinions on New years and early January in Brazil. Thinking of flying into Rio the week after Christmas then moving down the coast to Argentina. I searched the thread using "new years" as a keyword but came back nada.

Thanks for any opinions.

If you go to Sao paulo, visit Casarao on Augusta!

Yeah, I carry along my old passport for this reason. No problem to use the valid visa from an expired passport as long as you also have a valid passport.

My Brazilian visa still has 6 years of validity but it is in an old passport. Has anyone traveled to Brazil with a new passport and a visa in an old passport?
