Take your time to read this guide carefully. The Embassy of Brazil is not responsible for mistakes in your visa application and for losses related to travel expenses to Windhoek when applying for the visa or to your planned trip to Brazil in case your visa is refused, denied or not granted in time. Do not book rooms or plane tickets to Brazil before making sure you have the correct visa. Visa application fees are non-refundable. Your application may be refused or denied if the requirements do not meet the specifications listed on this guide. The Embassy may request additional information if necessary.
The work visa (temporary visa nº 5 - VITEM V) may be granted in the following situations:
1. PASSPORT |
Validity Your passport must be valid when applying for the visa. It does not need to be valid until the date when you intend to travel to Brazil, but it must be valid when we issue you the visa. We may issue you the visa even if your passport is about to expire, but before boarding a plane/ship or crossing a border towards Brazil, you must make sure you have a passport that is valid until your intended date of return (US passports only) or valid for at least six months after the date you enter Brazil (passports of all other countries). If your valid visa is on a passport that has expired, you must then carry two passports: the expired one containing your valid visa and a new valid one. Signature Adults must sign their passports. Passports of minors do not need to be signed. Very few countries have passports which do not require signature. Check your passport and make sure it is signed if there is a field for it. Pages Your passport must contain at least two blank pages, i.e. pages without any other visas or stamps. The pages for observations, annotations, etc. are reserved for your own country. We cannot use them. If your passport has run out of pages, you must obtain a new one before applying for a visa to Brazil. Condition Your passport must be in good condition in order to be accepted as a valid document. It must not be torn, wet, damp, stained, cut, punctured, excessively dirty etc. |
