Diplomatic/Official Visas

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE TWO FORMS TO BE FILLED OUT ONLINE. THE FIRST ONE IS FOR PERSONAL INFORMATION, THE SECOND ONE IS TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT. BOTH ARE MANDATORY. 

a) Officials on official missions to Brazil.

b) Employees of International Organizations on official mission to Brazil must request their official visa on their Organization's laissez-passer. In the event where an application is submitted without a laissez-passer, the official note requesting the visa must indicate the reason for not presenting the laissez-passer.

c) The visa request must be done by DIPLOMATIC NOTE from the government or organization that the applicant will be representing.
