Brazil Temporary Visa Los Angeles Consulate
The Los Angeles Consulate serves the States of Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and in California the counties of Imperial, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura.
All Temporary Visa holders may only stay in Brazil for up to 90 days, regardless of nationality or the length of time that the Visa is given for. You can extend the 90 days by going to the Federal Police in Brazil. They can give you an additional 90 days on your visa (180 day per year maximum).
Go to the Los Angeles Brazilian Consulate site and gather all of the required documentation.
Check to see that you have gotten a USPS (United States Postal Service) money order in the correct amount.
- Fee amounts are here under the ”Consular Fees” section.
- Go here to see submission instructions.
- Provide original birth certificate;
- A notarized letter of consent signed by both parents. The Consulate will legalize the signature of the notary public. A fee will be charged.

Validity of Temporary Visa – Vitem I
- Visas are good for multiple entries;
- If planned stay exceeds 90 days, holders must register with the Federal Police within 30 days of first arrival in Brazil.
- You will need to plan way in advance if you want to get this type of visa.
- The vast majority of volunteer groups will recommend entering on a tourist visa instead of going through the pain and frustration of getting the Vitem I.
