Afternoon all and merry Christmas.

I'm writing to seek clarification regarding my police clearance certificate timeline. My police clearance certificate will be ready in a few days, and my POF will mature on March 18. I plan to submit my visa application online on March 19.

However, the police clearance certificate expires in three months, meaning it will have only about one week of validity left at the time of my application submission

Given the certificate's short validity period at the time of application, I'm concerned about potential implications if the Brazilian authorities request the original document submission after it expires. Could you advise if this might affect my application?

Thanks for your guidance.

Thanks so much.

Mee346:
Do not wait
Prepare your POF now while waiting for the letter.
Once the sponsorship letter arrives:

If it clearly confirms funding, use it

If not proceed with POF without delay

Thanks so much, I will do this now.
I appreciate.

SugarPg:
contact your supervisor and confirm the type of scholarship(Bolsa) and the amount, it doesn`t take much to discuss these things. Brazilian professors are very friendly and easy-going.
If your supervisor have a personal project with funding, he would inform you, if it is departmental scholarship under CAPES or CNPQ he will let you know also. personal project scholarship is quite higher than CAPES, some Msc students get as high as R$5000 depending on the funding agency.

Confirm from him and tell him to indicate the scholarship(Bolsa) in the admission letter. March resumption is still far, don`t be in a rush, getting your admission letter with scholarship makes the process easier, so just be calm and communicate with your supervisor.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate.
Msc.

DAramis:
I will advice you to prepare you proof of fund as backup for the letter of sponsorship you will get.

No harm in doing that. By the way, are you going for Msc or PhD?

Good day, @SugarPg and everyone. I'm reaching out for assistance with a matter. I recently got admission to UFSM, Brazil and my supervisor mentioned a possible scholarship during the interview. I requested a sponsorship letter for visa processing last week, and they agreed to send it as soon as possible. I'm unsure about the content and whether it will cover my expenses. Should I wait for the sponsorship letter or proceed with preparing my Proof of Funds? The resumption date is March 5, and I'd appreciate any guidance or advice. Thank you.

Additional info: My supervisor mentioned a possible scholarship multiple times during the interview, and I'm hoping it's confirmed in the sponsorship letter. If I receive the letter, I'll know if I need to prepare POF or not. Looking forward to your insights.
