Hello everybody, since the government of Brasil requires a Visa to USA citizens I can tell that my experience in this area is complicated

part of the requirements of this paperwork is inside the Consulate of Brasil in my area San Francisco, I followed and filed up the form online , inside this form asking for CPF I had this long time ago it’s invalid until I will get to Brasil and fixed anyway I included this CPF number on the area request, well after all this I have to print out this form from the Ministerio De Relaçoes Exteriores “ giving me a Protocol number and codigo de recuperaçao , now I have to get all the rest of paperwork and mail in to the consulate, I’m trying to make sure I’m okay with this process , but have another place to filled e-visa …

since I did this I’m okay?

mayb someone already knows all this visa process can help me out that I’ll really appreciate

than

The visa requirement for American citizens have been discussed extensively in the following threads

Here is a link to apply to a e-visa -> https://www.gov.br/mre/pt-br/consulado- … sa-e-visa. You may want to look at your closest consulate and find out about the e-visa requirement.

Please note that the e-visa application is different from the CPF application.

My experience with CPF application is as follows -> https://www.expat.com/en/forum/south-am … r-cpf.html

Good luck.

Well I followed instructions inside the consulate, filled, downloaded documents, and printed the form, I assume that I have to send the form, photos, travel tickets and fees by mail

Have you tried the e-visa application process-> https://brazil.vfsevisa.com/? This process is all digital.

The photos, pictures of the tickets, online forms can be scanned and uploaded. Fees can be paid by credit card.

Can you try?

@Hugodc2000 For the future you may consider a direct personal tactic. Every Professional Job I obtained in my major after college was because I knew someone at the company and they recommended me / guided me through the process. Now that I am retired EVERY step I take (manager at Banco Do Brazil, Former Official at the Brazilian Consulate in D.C.) is with someone I know.
