House pls we are on a conference visa and they interviewed our cordinator who is also going with us but can the embassy denied us visa due to 90%of us don't have good bank statement and we used one invitation letter? But cant they give visa to those that meet up with their requirements. Bros and sis pls answer me.

Soraco57:
Na true decision comes from Brazil ? Or no be brazil embassy for here they recommend people for visa ?

yes decision come from Brazil I heard it from one of their staff in lagos

HOKIM:
Now to bring the topic back from Derailing.... Having gone to over 20 countries across 4 continents... I think anyone should Note this before planning to Have a baby in Brazil....

1, Sexual liberation/Body positivity : it is very common to see folks in the name of body positivity walk around on the streets of Brazil unclad, this might come to you as a huge culture shock, especially considering that you will raise your child(ren) in a society that promotes this..

2, Portuguese is beautiful: Raising a child(ren) in a Portuguese speaking nation like Brazil can be fun and gives them a different perspective of a new language that isnt as widely spoken around the world as English and french... knowing you and your child(ren) would get that unique exclusive is beautiful and sometimes my friends would say "it's like owning an iphone in an android village"

3, The "Gay" culture: like most thriving and "woke" nations , homosexuality is legal in Brazil, so you must be willing to raise your kids within the conduct of your surrounding but yet guide their hearts against accepting these societal "Norms"...

Should I go on with more points.... Want to be sure folks are following

Cost of Living: The cost of living is relatively low in Brazil and cuts across state lines; Brazil has alot of industries and manufacturing companies, so made in Brazil products are quite common and the base of the Brazilian Economy, therefore ; Food,materials,medication,internet,water,electricity etc is relatively cheap and affordable... minimum wage is between R$1,300 - R$1,500... these is enough to "Survive" on living the basic lifestyle, living with extra will make this value skyrocket....

Transport: Brazil is so organized, that the transport system is one of the best I ever came across... The train is nice,secured and reliable, The Electric metro system is neat and always right on time .. Buses and private transport system(taxis) are well organized and app can be downloaded to estimate bus time, monitor bus routes and track bus location.
You can own a bus card which allows you use the Bus system and payment is deducted from your Bus card credit, payment for a bus services through other buses if used between a time period,e.g I take a bus going to Republica from Braz, I swipe my bus card in the bus. Then ride the bus to republica , finish whatever I went to do then take another bus taking me from Republica back to braz within 2hrs of my first bus trip to Republica, I will not be charged from my bus fare.

P.s: Brazil produces the BRT buses in Lagos, so it has even more sophisticated bus systems.

Policing and Security: Brazil is quite secured unlike what is being portrayed by Western media, however, it still has it security challenges as do most other countries on earth, your environment and location determines your level of security, say , it is very common to see regular police patrol in Favelas(Ghettos) than the up-pop environments, crime in general around the world is prevalent in the low income areas and Brazil is no different ,if you live in a low income environment, avoid frequent waka waka for night, avoid unnecessary display of wealth and expensive jewelries(Africans and black folks are especially guilty of this, you will see someone that stays in an Agegunle like area in Sao Paulo, dey wear chain and watch of $20000 and go dey show am off at every opportunity, we as Black people can be loud about our achievements sometimes too)...policing also range from state to state

Cheese balls... dem say na "Puff"... dem dey mad..

Please I need help with my visa to Brazil.

Wow! I checked and it was not approved. After months of waiting and more than sufficient balance.

hostsleek:
lol.. Its okay.. It is them holding my passport for 3 months that's annoying me. Wont apply for visa from Nigeria anymore.

Just go there and request for it. I feel it is automatic denial if you collect your VISA before time.

Meanwhile, i provided more than sufficient funds for travel.. lol

the reason why Brazil use to denial visa for most Africa because of immigrate problem most Africa pass Brazil by road to enter mexico for there to United States border

Not necessarily true ,sir......
We as Africans shouldn't need visas to go to south America anyways, We didn't need visas to get to Brazil in the '90s.... the issue isn't bout what we do right or wrong... its alot to do with Diplomatic agreements with the nations... our leaders dont make alot of visa diplomatic relationships because everyday they are scared of BRAIN-DRAIN but they have diplomatic passports so they can afford to leave whenever they choose.. that's the difference and they give diplomatic passports to their families and friends..etc....
So with this you will see it has NOTHING to do with our actions....

Abort mission... wrong advice... what you are suggesting is not just wrong but dangerous... if dem deny you Brazil, why not go to other very nice south American nations, Chile,Ecuador, Uruguay, Argentina,Colombia.... they are also good nations that you can get Documented and move to other nations with time...

Yes you are right let me explain this for you before do you know that Nigeria passport visa free to Ecuador and Bolivia around year 2009 but because of drug problem when Ecuador immigration catch two Nigeria drug dealer at Quito airport the two guy there Nigeria citizen with Nigeria passport with drug inside there bag since year 2009 Ecuador require visa for Nigeria passport both Bolivia it is not matter about our government this problem coming out for Nigeria citizen

many Africa immigrate pass this panama route by road going to mexico to United states l see many Africa that it is why Brazil denial visa for many Africa because them think if you got the visa arrival in Brazil next to pass route and jungle to arrival mexico and united states boarder

I agree 100%.

It has nothing to do with our packaging... More to do with Diplomatic agreements.

if you pass this route to going mexico you spend more than 1 month on road and jungle from Brazil to Colombia to panama to costa rica to Nicaragua to el Salvador to Honduras to Guatemala to mexico to Tex USA boarder you see the travel very long

do you know if Nigeria government sign visa waiver with Brazil for ordinary passport today by tomorrow half population of Nigeria will arrival Brazil tomorrow that it is why many country refuse to sign visa waiver with Nigeria for ordinary passport as you can see many passport of Africa still visa free to Brazil like South Africa passport Seychelles passport Tunisia passport nambia passport morocco passport all those country didn't need a visa to go Brazil because this country l am mention it is hard for there citizen to immigrate there

I see your point sir...but it's still not why we ain't visa free to these countries... E.g American do and sell drugs more than any country on earth but they are still visa free to alot of countries.... MEXICO has one of the highest drug cartels and smuggling cartels in the whole world after Colombia yet they are amongst top 20 most powerful passports in the whole world... so it has nothing to do with us and alot to do with our leaders diplomatic relationships with these countries... Nigeria do narcotics reach Brazil?? Yet brazil is Visa free even to the UK wey colonize us and yet we that are colonized has to bring an arm and a leg of our third generation to get a visa to the UK...

If you read my submission very well you will see where I said there will be a Brain drain if Nigerian Gov't signs visa waiver with the Brazilian government... has NOTHING to do with the citizens but cos our government has failed us, if Nigeria get head ,will folks be seeking to leave the Useless country??

I know the route from Brazil to mexico well well... I know nothing less than 100 people that has taken that route, I no be JJC to it... i find myself privileged cos i had better opportunities and I'm not money conscious, i like my life as it is and wouldn't risk my life to be shoot in the wilderness of Colombia by drug cartels because i wan Japa... person japa enter Brazil ojukokoro no gree am, he wan still enter yankee... Nigerians dont even go that route , if you wan know who dey go through that route the most, it's the Nepalese and Haitians... they go there in drove...
I understand how Diplomatic relations and agreements works ....

Absolutely nothing.... when I was ignorant bout the workings , I use to blame Nigerians until I started understanding how this works..... Nigerian Gov't has ruined that nation and are afraid folks will run away from that nation when the get more countries to sign visa waivers.... they are already seeing it in the way Nigerians are already leaving... some risk their lives to go through the deserts...

The problem is that our country passport is weak. Our passport is out of order with bad reputation. If you have a Nigerian passport, arriving at immigration to get an arrival stamp is like having poison. The Nigerian government must do everything possible to improve our image

All these country visas are very difficult to get with Nigeria passport Chile, Ecuador, Uruguay, Argentina, Colombia as the document needs to be translated into Spanish language and legalized at a diplomatic mission before it can be accepted at the embassy

Please sir ,stop saying this as it is laughable....
Our passport is Weak because we dont have alot of visa free countries and diplomatic agreements with other nations....

Where I'm at now, American government come and beg to get workers...its advertised in our papers daily... farm workers, electricians, waiters,potters etc.....
Our govt ruined Nigeria In and out...it has nothing to do with the citizens.... Americans are one of the most unlawful, drug carrying, wicked, law breaking folks you can see around but countries respect America too much ... going by their reputation they should even be visa free to niger sef ,if it's like that

And I have explained to you , why that is.... why a passport can be considered weak... A passport is only as powerful as how many countries it is visa free too and it diplomatic strength... e g The Japan passport is more powerful than the American passport.... why?? DIPLOMATIC agreements... that's what China is building now, that's why more countries are opening up to the chinesse

When I had problem in Brazil... I mailed the Nigerian embassy.... till now they still have not replied me.. and I don go 9 other countries since then... yet I have a Nigerian passport (which I don trowey) and they have an embassy in Brazillia.... Nigerian government are just downright Demons and Nigerian ambassadors are thevies ... and the only solution would be to burn that useless country to the ground... I dont think I will step my feet into that country again..atleast not in the next 40years

Well said, i mere speach from a president can make or break the country not to now talk off delibrately not willing to make Nigeria be what it should be.... i agree with u sir. its well
