mobimuc9ja:
I just got a mail this evening inviting me for an interview
I always think Brazil interview is for females.
What should I be expecting as questions from them?
Help a brother

sanjaypent:
She was invited and they asked her about her what she know about São Paulo and previous travel history, why she didn’t include in the application and was asked to forward it which she did. Also I included my Schengen and other travel history. I never believed I could be denied. But it’s well

sanjaypent:
I don't know the reason yet, I am yet to recieve my DHL package and that of my wife back.

All i see for now on the system is not approved

Whenever I see this kind of post from the people who got opportunity to have huge followers, I fear the future of the country because influencers got huge Influence on upcoming youths.
The mind of most influencers are shallow.
Most of the countries you guys look up to did many horrible things in their early years ( watch the men who build America documentary).
Developing means transforming, and in this stage many things will happen.
You will see the impacts of the decision years later.

Joscott2017:
Thanks Brotherly
Mid March. 13th or 14 was when I mailed in.
Status changed to under review I think April 2 or 4.
Still waiting on the ready to collect Passport.

bomsyvic:
Thank you. Its the embassy in Lagos. I didn't attend any interview, only sent my documents via courier.

Joscott2017:
There is no instruction on the dashboard. It just says mailed.

Obinnau:
You have to be on residence permit or a citizen before you can use an embassy that is nor in your home country. So yes I have a resident permit.

Yes, I submitted accounts from home country and foreign country

Obinnau:
Monda April 15th: Initial visa application submitted (family of 3)
Monday April 22nd: Embassy sent an email requesting an updated document
Wednesday April 24th: Received interview email notification
Thursday April 25th: Interviewed. Additional bank account balance requested from Nigeria. I and my wife were granted visas.
Friday April 26th: Returned to get the visa for my daughter. (The minor travel authorization was not properly stamped by the notary public, initially)

I went for the interview alone. They wish to know about my research work, why I am going, where I am going, what I will be doing and about my family.
Advise: Have a bank balance that covers the cost of the air tickets and accommodation.
Embassy: North African Country

I was treated very courteously by the embassy staff.

Nigerians are normally given 3 months Visa, we got a full year of multiple entry.

bomsyvic:

bomsyvic:
Check your status. Mine has changed

Klare:
Ehn ehnn, Thank you so much for your reply. I am scared because all my male friends who had gotten their visas approved were not invited for physical interviews. I submitted my visit visa application on March 13. Submitted hard copied March 14. Invited for physical interview April 3rd.

Kindly note I used an invitation letter.

bomsyvic:
Check your status. Mine has changed

Klare:
Good evening! I applied for a visit visa to brazil and I was invited for a physical interview which I am surprised about since they hardly do physical interview. Has anyone attended such an interview and had their visa approved?

I would greatly appreciate any tips on how to prepare for the interview. It is scheduled for next week ,9 of april and any tips and help would be appreciated. Also, I want to clarify that I am not pregnant or married.

sanjaypent:
Visa status again changed from SENT to SIT. Please, Is that how their system changes. I just want to be sure am on the right track.

It's indeed cheaper to live in non big cities and non touristy places but you may not like it there. Most of the time, the people and the system there are not used to foreigners so you may find it difficult to integrate or get things done especially with the language barrier.

Personally, I feel the south is the best to live because of the exposure, development and opportunities. I don't know much about Rio but I can tell you about São Paulo in detail.

The city of São Paulo is located in the State of São Paulo and it's just one of the 645 cities in the state. Yes, the state alone is over a quarter of Nigeria's land size with a population of 45m. It's very possible to find and live in cheaper cities within the state of São Paulo. You can explore cities that are close to São Paulo city. It's not always a traveling distance, you might just be crossing a street to enter the next city.

There are also cities categorized as São Paulo interior, they are farther from main cities but they are cheaper, you may get bored there too depending on your personality. For example Campos do Jordão, it's a touristy interior city about 3 hrs drive from the city and very hilly, if you like nature, you may like it there.

You may stay in any of these cities and move to SP City later if you want, it's more feasible to move within a state than to move inter state. Brazil is too big that moving from North to South for example will be a big headache. There are places that will take you 3 days by road to get there, even Rio to São Paulo is 7 hrs by road

Another city you can check out is Curitiba in the state of Paraná. It's conducive and relatively cheap.


Rio and São Paulo are expensive especially with accommodation but food and transportation isn't a problem in SP. São Paulo is more developed than Rio but more crowded. São Paulo is the New York of Brazil. Rio is more of an older city with older buildings and lots of graffiti but the people are generally perceived to be nicer.

I hope I answered your questions.

I will also add, there is Florianopolis also known as floripa in the state of Santa Catarina. It is known as the holiday getaway state of Brazilians, with more chilled and relax environment. It is an Island with over 40 beaches.
Rent can be higher or lower depending on where you choose to stay, you can stay closer to the centro(downtown) that has a lot of malls, stalls, restaurants and all or you can choose to stay abit further from centro which will be pretty affordable.

Floripa has incredible modern infrastructure like a bus and train network that cut across the city

Floripa is like more developed Cross river state.
Brazil is the 5 largest country in the world, while Nigeria is at 32, so imagine how big it is.

There are also cities like Salvador, Brasilia and so on.
