As far as visas go, it is really really easy from what my Brazil goers have told me. Like you just give them the 200 bucks and your in. I got an eu work visa and that was a fricking nightmare.

It's been about ten years but if I remember you get a visa service in DC to take it to the embassy and get the stamp. Took about two weeks to fedex passport and return it. Wasn't that expensive about 75 back then

T'was a pain in the arse, but I got mine right before the World Cup so it was a little more difficult.

Unless you go directly to an embassy (Houston, DC, LA, etc) you have to pay a Visa company additional $$$ plus what the Visa costs. It's probably not as bad now that the World Cup is over.

It's easy. Once you there, a Brazilian steals your Visa and everything else in yout wallet as well.

I went in 2012, you have to go apply for the visa at the consulate in Houston. I went for work and had to have document in company letterhead describing what I would be doing there. Was pretty painless, you can visit the consulate online to see the details.

I don't know how it is now - worked in Santa Fe, Argentina 1996 - 2001 - we used our regular American Passports to go across the border - no problem back then - probably changed a lot since then -

Been in a few of them back in the 1970's.

Was deployed there back then. The bad side is that my doctors think I picked up a viro infection that had attacked my heart. It's one of a few places in the world that one can get it. It sat dormant for over 35 years in me for it to come out and try to kill me.

I went to São Paulo last month. Visa took about 2 weeks. I used a visa service (G3 visas) since work was paying for it. It was around $400 but it's good for 10 years.

Don't know specifically because I went for work and they handled it but I do know, outside of some very small touristy areas, its pretty much one of the scummiest country in the world I have been to with the largest ghettos/slums I have ever seen outside of Somalia and the Phillipines.

Depends on the type of visa.

A Vitem V is a pain in the arse. If you only need a business visa and not going offshore it isn't that bad.

just like going to the DMV. takes 2 weeks. Just make sure you bring the right documentation.

You can get it expedited, just costs more.

The flight absolutely sucks by it's worth it.

If your in rio you must visit Barbarellas.
