But the question remains, if Lula wants this retaliatory visa BS so bad, why doesn't he just set it up like Cambodia and require a visa upon arrival and charge visitors with passports from certain countries whatever the fuck he wants? Easy peasy! How many Lula's does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Yep, they could easily charge 50 a visit. It's not going to stop any of us from going.

I had to change plans, but thought I was coming down in a few weeks. The evisa process online took probably 6-7 minutes. The longest portion was making sure the photo was the correct sizing (haha from all the previous posters complaining).
Got it with no revisions in 2 weeks. Much like the CPF, I just found it easier to just get it and have more options.

Canuck here. I think it's more to do with local retail customs. I imagine a lot of funny stuff happens with customers trying to mess with the transactions or tossing the expensive terminals roughly or something. IE some servers are trained to clutch the terminal and hold it while I am tapping or entering tip or whatever. The conversion rate dialog is pretty normal while travelling for me when using credit. Funny thing is with ATMs and bank cards, I don't get the same dialogs that a lot of Americans seem to get in regards to the rate conversion.

Brazilians are allowed to stay 90 days on a visa waver in the EU. Reciprocity. Simple.

Early 50's is way too young for this plus your T is low. Best thing to do is to lose weight, get down to the weight you should be for your height. Limit alcohol intake, exercise and especially weight lifting which is very important. Change your diet to be clean and eliminate processed foods, increase protein. At some point introduce intermittent fasting starting with 2 meals a day and then Omad one meal a day, this will increase human growth hormone and T. It's not easy to stay young but it's worth it.

Twitter to be cut off in Brazil?

Brazil IS ON THE BRINK.
I'm reporting to you from Brazil, where a dramatic series of events are underway.
At 5:52 pm Eastern Time, today, April 6, 2024, X corporation, formerly known as Twitter, announced that a Brazilian court had forced it to "block certain popular accounts in Brazil. ".
Then, less than one hour later, the owner of X.
At ElonMusk.
Announced that X would defy the court's order, and lift all restrictions.
"As a result," said Musk, "we will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there. But principles matter more than profit. ".
At any moment, Brazil's Supreme Court could shut off all access to X / Twitter for the people of Brazil.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Brazil is on the brink of dictatorship at the hands of a totalitarian Supreme Court Justice named Alexandre de Moraes.
President Lula the Silva is participating in the push toward totalitarianism. Since taking office, Lula has massively increased government funding of the mainstream news media, most of which are encouraging increased censorship.
What Lula and de Moraes are doing is an outrageous violation of Brazil's constitution and the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.
At this moment, Brazil is not yet a dictatorship. It still has elections and the Brazilian people have other means at their disposal to confront authoritarianism.
But the Federal Supreme Court and the Superior Electoral Court are directly interfere in those elections through censorship.
Three days ago I published the Twitter Files for Brazil. They show that Moraes has violated the Brazilian Constitution. Moraes illegally demanded that Twitter reveal private information about Twitter users who used hashtags he considered inappropriate. He demanded access to Twitter's internal data, violating the platform's policy. He censored, on his own initiative and without any respect for due process, posts on Twitter by parliamentarians from the Brazilian Congress. And Moraes tried to turn Twitter's content moderation policies into a weapon against supporters of then-president Jair Bolsonaro.
I say this as an independent and non-partisan journalist. I'm not a fan of either Bolsonaro or Trump. My political views are very moderate. But I know censorship when I see it.
The Twitter Files also revealed that Google, Facebook, Uber, WhatsApp and Instagram betrayed the people of Brazil. If such evidence is proven, the executives of these companies behaved like cowards: they provided the Brazilian government with personal registration data and telephone numbers without a court order and, therefore, violating the law.
When Twitter refused to provide Brazilian authorities with private user information, including direct messages, the government attempted to sue Twitter's top Brazilian lawyer.
When I lived in Brazil in 1992, I was very left-wing. At the time, Lula and the PT's slogans were "Without fear of being happy".
In recent days, I have spoken to dozens of Brazilians, including professors, journalists and respected lawyers. Everyone tells me they are shocked by what is happening. They told me that they are afraid to speak their mind and that the Lula government is complicit in creating this climate of fear.
Brazil belongs to the Brazilians. It is not my country. As such, there are limits to what I am capable of doing.
But I can say things that many Brazilians do not feel safe saying: Alexandre de Moraes is a tyrant. And the only way to deal with tyrants is to confront them. It is up to Brazil's senators to confront the tyrant. And it is up to the people of Brazil to demand that their senators do so.

Thank you for posting this timely report. It is very informative and sad. I have been following these news events from afar and it is amazing how parallel what is going on in Brazil is to what is happening in the USA. So, brace up. I am pretty sure that you will soon be attacked on these pages by left wing, Woke Jacobin BM's who hate anyone who opposes their special brand of authoritarism. We live in precarious times. I can't believe what is happening in the USA. Nobody could have imagined this shit happening 10 years ago. It is time to stand up for our rights and freedoms before they disappear forever. This is no time for sitting on the fence anymore.

There has been no change in the April 10 deadline that I have seen on the Official Brazilian Consulate visa website 3 days to go before the deadline. I am betting US, Canadians, and Australians will need a visa to enter Brazil starting Wednesday. I hope I am wrong. But if I am right I will apply for the damn thing in May which will be approximately 1.5 months before my planned SP arrival date in the middle of June.
