Thursday, 14 August 2008
TRANSITTING BRAZIL
To enter Brazil, even if only for a few hours, you will need a visa. However, if you are only in transit through a Brazilian airport on your way to another country and do not plan to leave the transit area of the airport, you do not need a visa. The maximum time in tranist you may stay in Brazil is 7 hours.
It is highly recommended that you obtain a tourist visa, considering that it is always possible that an international flight may be delayed or even cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.

MLK Holiday / News!
January 14, 2010 The US Passport Agency and most Embassies and Consulates will be closed on Monday January 18th, 2009 in honor of the MLK Jr. Holiday. The offices of Passport Visas Express.com will also be closed. PASSPORT AGENCY CLOSINGS- Please note the US Passport Agency will not process applications for Emergency Service on January 15th or 27th, 2010 or February 12th, 2010 in observance of MLK Day and President's Day respectively.

This fee is based on reciprocity. US citizens $131.00 / Canadians $70.00 / Australian Citizens $100.00 BRAZIL- As of Monday, January 11th, 2010 the Brazilian visa will no longer state: "first entry within 90 days from date of issue." Travelers to Brazil are now able to schedule trips to Brazil with greater flexibility as they will no longer be required to enter Brazil within 90 days of the visa's issuance. The visa's validity period will be determined by a Brazilian Consular Official upon review of the visa application. The visa validity period will now be noted on the visa. Please note some visas may be limited to the traditional 90-day validity period. Holders of longer term visas (for example 5 year multiple entry visas) will be allowed to enter Brazil at anytime during the visa's validity. INDIA- IMPORTANT: Please note the rules governing reentry to India as a tourist- It has come to the notice of the Indian Government that there has been abuse/misuse of the Tourist Visa. With a view to curb the abuse/misuse of the Tourist Visa, instructions have been issued by the Indian Government imposing the following restrictions: a. In respect of foreign nationals holding Tourist Visas with multiple entry facility, there should be a gap of at least 2 months between two visits to the country on such a Tourist Visa. b. If any foreign national is required to visit the country again within a period of 2 months of his last departure, such foreign national should obtain special permission from the Mission/Post concerned. The Mission/Post may consider such requests on merits of each case. For more information please contact us. There are 2 notable exceptions: I. Foreigners holding Tourist Visas, who after initial entry into India plan to visit another country largely on account of neighborhood tourism related travel and reenter India before finally exiting, may be permitted two or three entries, as the case may be (need based), by the Indian Missions/Posts subject to their submission of a detailed itinerary and supporting documentation (ticket bookings). If they are already outside of their country of origin, they can also get such an endorsement from the nearest Indian Mission/Post. II. The Immigration authorities in all the Immigration Check Posts may also allow such foreign nationals on Tourist Visas arriving in India without the specific authorization from the Indian Missions/Posts to make two or three entries into the country (need based) subject to production of an itinerary and supporting documentation (ticket bookings). For more information about re-entering India within the 2 month period please see the: India Tourist Visa FAQ.
