Publicado em 19/07/2024 00h02 Atualizado em 23/09/2024 04h40

The Consulate in Guangzhou, in partnership with the Visa Center, developped an appointment booking system for accredited users. If your company invests in Brazil, has a constant and large demand of visa applications and has a dedicated visa department, you can apply for using the system. Travel agencies can also apply to use the system. Please check below how to apply:

a) Access BLS website, go to Agent Login section:

https://brazilappointment.blscn.cn/CHN/Agent/login

b) Chose the option NewAgentRegistration and input the company’s / agency’s profile details.

c) Please note that, if you are registering either as a travel agent or as a company’s representative, the “Agent name” should be the name of the person responsible for delivering the visa applications. Each company / agency can appoint only one person, who can be replaced only under special circumstances.

d) Upload the following documents as a single .pdf file:

Travel agencies:

1. Proof of business operation (business registration)
2. License/registration/certificate for travel operators
3. Proof of a minimum of two years of experience
4. Other accreditations (IATA, IATAN, ARC, CLIA, TRUE), if any
5. Social media / e-commerce details, with information about the services offered by the agency

- A list with links to the agency’s social media / e-commerce profiles is acceptable

6. Proof of the representative’s qualifications

2. Proof of direct business operation in Brazil, such as a branch
3. Proof of financial viability and stability, such as bank statements (last 3 months), bond or letter of credit, etc.
4. Proof of the representative’s qualifications

- The representative must be an HR employee or the equivalent to an “entry-exit” or overseas management employee

5. A page containing the following information:

- Address of physical office location
- Updated contact list

e) Submit your application.

f) The Consulate will review the documents provided in up to 5 working days. The Consulate has the right to request additional documents or information during the process.

g) If the documents are approved, the company’s HR representative with legal capacity / agency’s legal representative will be requested to sign a letter of commitment to abide by the basic rules for registered company / agency before the head (or the acting head) of the Visa Section at the Consulate.

h) After the signature, the company / agent shall be able to access the system within up to 2 working days.

Important remarks:

The consulate encourages all applicants to apply by themselves. Appointments slots are still being released on regular basis on BLS website. Registered agencies should be sought only when the applicant is not available to deliver documents in person or is purchasing a tour package from those companies.
The Consulate does not offer support along the application process. It is implied that only experienced users will operate this system.
This system is currently available only for the Consulate General of Brazil in Guangzhou and it is solely an instrument to attempt to offer possibilities for the applicants to make appointments and deliver their documents more smoothly. The agencies already registered are acting upon strict control and are subject to being suspended at any time for breaking any rules.
The Consulate, once more, strongly discourages applicants from seeking any agencies/operators and “huangniu” who offer “express appointment” or “express visa”, as such services do not exist and operators who sell them for profit have been negatively impacting our visa services.
