- Please note that the visa application
form should now be filled out electronically. Link to the electronic
form is available when you click on one of the types of visas below.
Please read the instructions carefully before filling out the form to
know exactly how to proceed and which documents you should bring/send to
the Consulate.
- Start by checking the
"Eligibilities" page to find out which is the kind of visa you
should apply for.
- Also, please check "Visa
Fees" link below to find out how much you should pay for each visa.
- The Visa Sector does not answer phone
calls. Any inquiries should be sent by email to visas@brazilhouston.org.
- After you fill out the form
electronically, you will be given a Protocol number and you will also be
asked to print out a Protocol form. It is mandatory to bring/send
this form to the Consulate in order to receive a Brazilian Visa.
- Please note that the Consulate does
not give information on visa status. You can check the status of your
visa on that same site, giving either the protocol number or the full
name, together with your date of birth. Due to the amount of visas
received daily (approximately 120), you will probably see no change on
the status until 2 or 3 days prior to your pick-up date.
- If your visa was submitted by a Travel
Agent, the Consulate recognizes the Agent as your representative. Any
issues should be solved between the Agent and the Consulate. Individual
faxes and emails from applicants are not acceptable. All inquiries
should be done by the Agents to the Consulate.
