Comments

1

Applicant's valid passport

Must have at least two blank pages. Please note that pages reserved for amendments cannot be used for visa purposes.

2

One standard-sized passport photo (3.5 x 4.5 cm)

The photo must be recent, with white background.

3

Visa application form

Must be filled in online (click here). Print and bring the Visa Request Form Receipt (RER) to the appointment.

It is very important to fill in the parents' full names, as displayed in the applicant's birth certificate.

Please note: the Embassy will only accept applications in which the required documents listed on this table have been uploaded to the form.

4

Police check

(applicants aged over 18 years old)

In the Bahamas, police records are issued by the Royal Bahamas Police Force.

Police checks are valid for up to 3 months from the date of issue.

Please note: if the applicant has lived in multiple countries within the last 12 months, a police check from each country of residence must be provided. They must also be duly legalized (contain an apostille) by the competent authority in the issuing country and, if necessary, translated by a certified translator.

5

Original full birth certificate*

In the absence of the full birth certificate, the applicant may submit another official document that contains the parents’ full names.

*Attention: submitting this document is intended to prevent any discrepancies between the information contained in the visa application and the birth certificate itself. As the birth certificate will have to be presented during the mandatory registration of the visa with the Federal Police in Brazil (see letter “d” below), any inconsistent data will preclude the conclusion of this process. Thus, the presentation of the birth certificate during the visa application stage abroad is not compulsory and will not prevent the visa from being issued, but is highly recommended in order to avoid possible inconveniences.

6

Copy of the return ticket

The applicant must submit either a booking confirmation (paid ticket or e-ticket) or a booking reservation (or letter from a travel agent on the applicant's behalf), containing the complete itinerary, flight numbers and arrival / departure dates.

Recent evidence must be presented (from at least the last 3 months), such as bank and/or credit card statements containing sufficient funds, payslips, proof of student loan / financing.

Interns being financially supported by their families must submit a declaration signed by the sponsors, in addition to a copy of the identification pages of their passports and recent evidence of financial capacity.
