CONSULATE GENERAL OF BRAZIL IN HOUSTON

HOW TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT ON-LINE

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - BEFORE YOU START

  1. It is mandatory to bring (or send by a proxy) the Protocol form, along with applicable documentation, to the Consulate in order to receive a Brazilian Visa.

    • A proxy can be anyone: a friend, a co-worker, or a relative.
    • Regardless of nationality, if visa submission is not presented personally by the applicant, an additional fee payment of US$20.00 per visa applies to visa submissions presented by a proxy, except when submitted by an immediate member of applicant's family (spouse, son, daughter, father and mother).

  2. You may only schedule an appointment after you have completed an online application.

  3. Just after you fill out the visa application/protocol form electronically, you will be given a Protocol number and you will also be asked to print out the form.

  4. A maximum of 2 visa applications are allowed per time scheduled, so, one single protocol number can be used to schedule an appointment for up to 2 applicants (i.e. husband and wife). If your family/party is bigger, please schedule appointments accordingly, in multiples of 2, even if the other 2 people are children. This is important to keep up with the schedule because appointments slots are of 5 minutes only.

  5. You may not book appointments more than 30 days in advance.

  6. Please visit our website, go to the visa requirements page (choose your type of trip from this page: http://www.brazilhouston.org/ingles/t-visas.htm)
