Visa information.

Depending on your nationality, you might need a visa to enter Brazil. The ultimate authority on whether you need a visa is the Brazilian Consulate in your country. The information we provide here is for your convenience only, and was obtained from the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website on 06 March 2017 (http://www.portalconsular.itamaraty.gov.br/vistos).

 

Please contact the Brazilian Embassy or Consulate in your country of residence to verify your visa requirement status (will depend on your nationality) before making travel plans. The address (including websites) of the Brazilian Embassy or Consulate nearest to your current place of residence can be found here.

 

Tourist Visa

 

To attend the Advanced School you need to enter Brazil as a tourist:

 

“The tourist visa may be issued to foreigners traveling to Brazil on a temporary basis, without purposes of immigration or the exercise of paid activity. Tourist visas can be granted for those traveling for tourism or to artistic competitions, sports competitions, conferences, seminars or meetings, among other purposes - provided there is no payment or remuneration of any type.”

 

You may check here whether you need a tourist visa. Find your country in the table that starts on page 2 and check the corresponding code in column “VITUR (Tourism)”. The caption for the codes is listed in page 1. The most common codes are 1 (visa is required) and 8 (visa exemption for staying for a period of at most 90 days.)
 

If you require a visa, we highly recommend applying for one as soon as possible, in order to guarantee that, if needed, the visa will be issued in time. Official invitation letters can be provided for those participants that need to apply for a Visa. 
 

NOTE: Visa expenses will NOT be reimbursed.
