I was at the Brazilian embassy in vi yesterday, and was told I needed to submit the form and other docs online before bringing it to the embassy..... this is after I had paid 36k for visit while medical is 45k at stanbic ibtc..... the visa officer told me that the visa is kind if hard now..... God will help this our green passport o, it's getting more useless by the day..... because I went with my wife for birthing runs he was saying it will not be approved... I told him to leave that to me.... countries are now getting pissed of how Nigerian misuse opportunity on foreign soil. Going back next week to submit anyway and I know God will favour us... just thought I should share my experience.

That's not entirely true.

Nigerians still need visa on arrival to enter that small Island...and believe it getting through is more tough than trying to get their visa from their embassy of which they don't have.

Now also for such a child to claim citizenship by just soil in Saints Kitts and Nevis is just not that straight forward like Canada, US or Brazil.

The Child that is born in Saints Kitts and Nevis will have to prove that the parents of that child are unknown or Stateless before such a child can be granted Saints Kitts and Nevis citizenship by just soil.

So are you saying that my wife should just apply for visit then rather than medical?

Hi Toksvik. Your situation is a bit complicated especially that you have already discussed with the visa officer that your wife is intending to go and give birth.

I know it’s not your fault because it is normal to apply for visa to give birth in the US but Brazil is different. So far, everyone i know on this platform and outside this platform and myself gave birth in Brazil on tourist visas.

You see, the Brazilian law is such a way that when it comes to having your baby born in the country, the authorities do not care how you entered Brazil to give birth. Your baby will be Brazilian and you and your partner will get permanent residency even if you entered Brazil under the sea.

Unlike the US where you are most likely to be ban from obtaining a visa again after giving birth on a visit visa, with Brazil, you will never ever need a visa again to enter Brazil with your permanent residency. So how you enter the country is irrelevant under the law. The most important thing is that your baby is born in Brazil. Your right to permanent residency is not defined by an immigration law which can easily be changed and at the discretion of the immigration officer but in the National constitution which states that the parents of a Brazilian child cannot be expelled from the country under any circumstance. Even if the immigration officer does not like you, he or she has no choice than to obey the constitution of the land.

In your case however, I cannot advice any specific visa for you because you have informed the VO already. Use your own judgement at this point.

Cheers

Hello,

So I got into Brazil last night and I must say that the people are very friendly especially at the airport in São Paulo. You’ll always find someone who speaks English there and willing to help. I was worried about racism and so far I have experienced none despite the fact that 99 percent of people I have seen and related with are white.

In Rio however, it’s difficult to communicate with people except the hotel attendants. I had a difficult time trying to make purchases at the supermarkets. No one speaks English and the labels and instructions are all written in portugese. I’m not someone who likes to try new food so eating has been somewhat difficult for me also

I’m only in Rio for few days and still trying to decide between Sao Paulo and Florianópolis. Please I’ll need suggestions on safe and affordable areas in São Paulo.

There were Nigerians in the flight to São Paulo, about 4 of them speaking Yoruba. I spoke with one when we landed, asked him a few questions but missed him in the process of finding my next flight (which was difficult because the airport is so big)

Hi Toksvik. I wish you all the best. Do not give up.

I will however like to point out a few technicalities. I have written extensively on this on this platform and I will use this opportunity to remind us all.

It is not illegal to give birth in Brazil but there is however no visa category to apply to give birth in Brazil. (Welcome to Brazilian bureaucracy). Unlike the US, the medical treatment visa for Brazil does not include giving birth. In fact, it is currently considered safer to give birth in Nigeria than Brazil due to the zika outbreak some time ago.

Like i said before, if you present yourself as applying for a visa to give birth in Brazil, you are most likely going to be denied. Not because they don’t want you to give birth in Brazil but simply because there is no visa category for you. Unfortunately, the visa officer cannot create a category just for you. It’s just does not exist. Let us not confuse Brazil with the US.

I said it over and over again here but people have rather been advised to apply for medical visa. You see... some people may have been in Brazil 20 times longer than some of us but in terms of giving birth, it is a different ball game all together. Unless you have experienced it personally and most recently, your information will be misleading. Brazilian law can be very confusing. You only get to know a specific law when you come in contact with it. I am not claiming to be an expert of the law. In fact, I know nothing considering how complex Brazilian law can be and because this is an opened platform, i guess we are all free to share our knowledge. Just make sure you filter and choose the information we share here wisely.

Cheers

Aww i can feel your pride from here. Pls how much must one have in the bank to go to Brazil. Im planning my next baby so i want to plan well. I already have a place to stay so just need to know all the steps and cost implication. Must i receive an invitation before i apply for the visa?

tolux8899:
Bro, Weather you apply for tourist visit or not , they won't give you since you have mentioned in the front of the consular. I did the same mistake early this year. We were denied within 6 days. Please save your money and apply next time.

Adjo10:


Well said tolux8899. You have summarized it nicely. There is no visa category for giving birth even though it is completely legal to give birth in Brazil. If you mention it as your purpose of visit then you get automatic denial. The VO officer cannot give you a visa that does not exit. Simple....

If you manage to enter the country and give birth, nobody cares how you entered. Simple...

Beautyaddy:


Hmmm...so how many years valid is the Brazilian visa if approved for Nigerians?

Adjo10:


In most cases the visa is valid for 1 year. Within this 1 year period you can stay in Brazil for a maximum of 180 days. (3 months and extend it for another 3 months while in Brazil).

So technically, you can even obtain the visa before you even get pregnant.

But the interesting thing is that, you will never need a visa ever again after giving birth since you will be given permanent residency.

Toksvik:
And it's the guy that collects the form I mentioned the details not the consular...... we haven't submitted the forms yet
