Try to Google topic Asylum in Brazil for there is a process to apply. I Google it and several items came up for it is for all people who wish to seek asylum in Brasil, it has a criteria that anyone seeking Asylum is to comply with it is not specific to any country so it will not be specific for Somalian. You must do the research for there is no specific anwser. The link I provided is the general way one would apply. Please read the entire posts on the link provided, see the post by James in particular, James is no longer with the site yet his information would be your best resource.
As I spoke of earlier you must do the research for there is no quick anwser.

I think u can try or if u are really looking for asylum then better try 1st the visa free countries Somalia have

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requ … i_citizens

There are plenty of Visa facilitator i feel who deal with asylum seeker visa

stumpy

I may be wrong but there is no such thing as an asylum seekers visa which a visa agent or facilitator can obtain.

On arrival in the country you have chosen you have to declare that you are seeking asylum.
You must have concrete, credible and checkable reasons for seeking asylum.
Just because you are seeking asylum does not mean you will get it.
You will be held in custody by the immigration authorities whilst they check everything out.

@ODAN.
The information you have given is misleading. The visas in the link you have given are for tourist visas only not an asylum seeker visa.
