Brazil Temporary Visa Miami Consulate
The Miami Consulate serves the States of Florida, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.
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 Miami Brazilian Consulate site and gather all of the required documentation in the “Required Documents” section. Be sure to check the page for any special cases that you may have.
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 ”Fee” section.
