Hi Guys,
"... Itinerary showing the date of departure from Australia and the return airline ticket, or letter from the travel agent/airline confirming cities, flight numbers, dates of arrival and departure from Brazil. Documents MUST bear applicant’s name..."
Cheers,
Terry
Visa in addition to return ticket and financial means. Visa depending on your country of citizenship. Check with Brazilian Consulate. Knowing some Portuguese will be helpful.
Cheers guys. Been in touch with the embassy who have passed on that the return ticket is not mandatory, and that a detailed plan, along with proof of sufficient funds should be sufficient.
One guy at the Embassy telling you that doesn't make it true, especially when their Visa application check list states otherwise.
No worries though, simply get the Visa well in advance so if they do require further documentation you have lots of time to get it in place, no panic.
Have fun.
Cheers,
Terry
Yeah absolutely. I still have plenty of time which is the good news. Worst case scenario I will just buy onward travel, I'd rather not to, but if it has to be done, it has to be done.
From the Embassy website...
"... The duration of stay of a Tourist Visa is generally 90 consecutive days, with MULTIPLE ENTRIES within this period. Extension for a further 90 days may be requested to the Brazilian Federal Police in Brazil at least 30 days before the Visa expires and will be authorized or not at their discretion. Visitors can remain in Brazil for up to a maximum of 180 days in any twelve (12) month period counted from the day they first entered the country. Unless noted, the visa has no expiration date for the first entry..."
I read that as meaning you can apply for the Visa right now, even though your departure is months from now.
Cheers,
Terry
I've heard you can fake it with a print out of a final-before-purchase print screen of a trip booked through a site like orbitz or priceline.
I've heard.
As i'm see, usually the brazilian migration control (made under supervision of Federal Police "Polícia Federal") usually not create many obstacles with travellers from other countries. Pratically only the visa will be enought for you!!!
From Foreign Affairs Agency Website "Itamaraty":
"
The immigration laws in Brazil only allow exemption of visas by reciprocity, i. e., for nationals of countries which admit Brazilians free of visas.
Australians citizens are required to get a visa on the Australian passport prior to entering Brazil.
Please be sure that your passport is valid for more than 6 months.
If your Brazilian visa is still valid and your passport expires, you can get another passport (from the authorities of your country) and carry both when you travel to Brazil.
Visas are issued on a first-come, first-served basis. Whenever possible, visas will be processed in 15 days.
Information on visas to Brazil is not provided by telephone. If you have applied for a visa in person, please check the date for pick-up noted on the blue receipt provided by the Consulate General upon lodgment of application.

Through looking at everything, I was thinking of flying in to Chile as an alternative. Would it be easier to fly in to Chile on a one way flight than Brazil?
