Hello guys i submitted my application last week for tourist visa and I still have the applications status on sent please do anyone knows how long it takes to get approved?

Firstly they will ask you to send your documents to the embassy after 1 or 2 weeks Then after two weeks, it might start showing under review Then you will wait for their decision

alemeru032:
Sorry to hear about this. I want to confirm if they state the reason they refuse your application was just because of lack of appointment receipt? I ask because i plan to send my application this week without the appointment receipt ?

aaah don't try it ooo
don't even dream about that, they will return your documents to you after a week or more, that is, if you added a return label, else you won't get your documents and your application won't be reviewed

please don't ooo

If you have uploaded your delivery receipt on the e-consular and the status shows wait for mail, please just wait, they will send you a mail to send your documents via courier or invite you to an interview

please guys i just remembered something

the first i was asked to send my documents to embassy via courier i made mistake i sent it with out my appointment receipt then the next day when i remembered i sent the appointment receipt separately to the embassy by DHL too and told them to let the embassy know it belongs to one person and i did not add return label to that one

But when my other documents were returned due to lack of appointment receipt, they did not return the appointment receipt I sent oo
and I still sent other documents with the appointment receipt, which was delivered on the 12th of feb

I just saw somewhere that a visa can be refused if you don't submit the complete original documents, even after submitting everything online

What if my application was processed with the document I sent that has only my appointment receipt, not with the last document I sent please

Is that possible, though I have sent the embassy an email and I tried calling, but as usual they don't pick

i just checked my application status and my visa was denied

well i will try to apply again this time around, am considering work visa, who has travelled to brazil through work visa

alemeru032:
Thank you for your reply. Will arrange and send to them next week. I hope they will also return the Original documents or i need to make photocopy of it for them?

you are expected to send original documents you uploaded including your passport old and new

alemeru032:
So you did not fill that right ? Please how much is the DHL fee to send to the embassy?

no I did not fill the form

for DHL, I paid 10 thousand plus because I added a return label, so they will be the ones to return it to me if it is ready for delivery, but if you want just to send it (which is not advisable), it should be around 5k plus

Finally my application is now under review

alemeru032:
You can find this form in the instructions on the e-consular website. I have already filled it out. Do I still need to complete the first form labeled "Authorization to Third Party" since I will be using DHL to mail the documents?

okay I think that one is for your child, if you are applying for a child though am not sure

but how did you get your form

because I never knew that form existed until they sent it to me

alemeru032:
So i need to wait for them to send an email requesting for documents before i can send to them via DHL?

I have attached a form. Please confirm if its the form they ask you to fill and return back to them.

yes this is the exact form they sent to me with my other documents, and it was stated in their instructions that it was compulsory to fill, I also attached my passport to the form before sending it to them and uploaded it to my online application


yes after you have uploaded your delivery receipt in the e-consular, wait for them to send you a mail to send your documents via courier and you must include the letter(it has a qrcode in it) that will be in your e-consular when they send you that mail

do you understand

kingzlee:
Please for successful couple applicants. thats husband and wife. Please how much was your proof of funds. Please

i think I saw where they said, it should be up to 10 million or 8

am not sure

alemeru032:
Do I need to fill out the form below when sending documents through DHL and mark DHL as the representative? Also, can I send the documents directly, or do I need to wait for a request before doing so?

firstly if they have sent you a mail to send your documents via courier or mail, then if you click on the consular, scroll down and select mail documents you will see a letter to print, print it and add your other documents and send to them via DHL

don't make the mistake I made by sending my documents without adding that letter
they will return it

kingzlee:
Submitted 3rd feb --- under review 21st Feb

I sent mine ending of January without adding the authorization letter from e-consular as I was told in the mail, and they returned it to me with the manual application form and some printed instructions via DHL return label on the 11th of Feb(just after i week I sent it), then I added the extra documents they requested and I also added the authorization letter and even filled the manual form, then made changes to my uploaded documents and sent it back to them on 12th of Feb and it was delivered to them on 13th

but until now mine is still showing as sent
the visa agent that helped me made some corrections when they returned it to me said, it might be under review and they did not update the website

so I don't even know what to do

kingzlee:
my status has moved to under review, this one is major testimony ooo. who knows how long till it move to approved. My prayer is its in very short time ooo

please how long did you wait after sending them your documents before it is moved under review

kindness111:
Please those that got visa approval, does this long awaiting period means that our visa will be approved? Mine is almost 4 months since interview. I don check status tire🤢

Please I need a little bit of assurance 😢

I am co-asking ooo because mine too, since I was asked to send my documents via courier, my status still remains sent instead of under review

Ninomiaky101:
Good evening nairaland,pls I want to know if I can use any of the commercial banks to apply for Brazil visa

Yes you can use any commercial bank statement as long as you bank with them

Please guys am back again my status still has not changed, it is still showing sent even when i have sent them my documents via courier this is two weeks now

I even sent them an email but no response yet

please who else has sent their documents via courier and the application status is still showing sent instead of under review

Please guys, who here submitted there hard copy documents through dhl to Brazil embassy recently

Because I submitted mine via dhl first and I forgot to add the authorized letter that I was told to print from econsular and add it as a proof of my appointment but after one week my documents was returned to me with a manual visa application form and another file consisting instructions on what to do, and I did everything even make some changes to my online application form added some documents I did not add before and then filled the manual form and sent it back to them including the appointment proof I did not add before. I even had to consult a visa agent that I paid them and they rechecked my online application and documents too

But am worried now, my online status is yet to go under review and I don’t even know if I will get it approved

Please word encouragement will do abeg

Peterson11321:
Where in Sao Paulo can find Nigerian. I'm trying to book for Airbnb where I can find Nigerian around

there are so many Nigerians in sao Paulo, you can reach out to some of them on TikTok, i think they can even help you get apartment if need be

Peterson11321:
Pls niaralanders.im leaving for Brazil soon. Where in Brazil can I find Nigerians. So I can book for air BNB accommodations around.

Thank

please sorry for asking but how long did it take you before you got a response from the embassy or visa approval after sending them your hard copy documents via courier

because mine is still showing sent even after I have sent my documents since and it has not even changed to under review yet

I anticipate your response

TadeDetule:
It doesnt have a specified time. Although from comments I think they are now faster in response time now

I pray so because I was asked to mail my documents last week and I did via DHL and they have also received it, but my application status is still showing sent instead of under review

also i did not include one of the documents I uploaded online (my birth certificate) i don't know if it will cause me a denial

please guys I have been asked to send my documents to the embassy via the courier of my choice

please which courier do you advise that i use

peppo4live:
I think hotel reservation will solve this issue

thank you i have uploaded my hotel reservation waiting for their response

please guys
after submitting all the requirements including cover letter last week, they responded again with this message

Correct this field. Reason: Soft copy of documents (inviting letter or the equivalent)

please what do i submit as equivalent since i have no one to send me inviting letter


please any response or suggestions will be highly appreciated, it is urgent

austino677:
lol if you can do hotel reservation on your own.... You should be able to do flight reservation nah....it doesn't take time.. Use Ethiopia airline book and pay later

I know, the problem was most of them were not allowing me to download it or even send me the reservation as file or pdf format so i could not send it to someone to print

but thanks to you I just used Ethiopia airline and they sent me the reservation in pdf format, I was able to download it and use but then, they said it would be reserved for just 24 hrs I don't know if that is okay

though I have submitted it

dvs511:
You dont need to pay for flight ticket, most embassies will tell you not to pay until you receive a visa.
What they usually want to see is the flight itinerary. Book a flight and select the pay later option. Print out the booking reservation and attach it to your application.

For cover letter, My wife is employed by an organization while I am self employed. We both sent in personal cover letters introducing ourselves, mentioning our reasons for wanting to visit Brazil and some of our vacation plans while we're there.

thank you so much this was really helpful

belovedmimz:
1. Did you include a cover letter?
2. Are you employed or work for yourself?
3. What's your purpose of visit, were you invited?

If you didn't include a cover letter, please send one now
If you're employed, your employer should also write a letter confirming your employment status and anything else that assures your return (like how you're a high value employee and no one can do your job, things like that)
If you weren't invited, your hotel reservation is okay.
For flight reservation, someone earlier mentioned that most sites now ask that you make the full payment for reservation. You can get in touch with trusted travel agents for this, you can also just check some sites on your own (Skyscanner, trip it, kiwi, hopper, etc)

Goodluck👍

Thank you very much

I am employed I actually submitted my employment offer initially

I did not include a cover
But am about to include it now, I have also gotten hotel reservations now but the problem is flight reservation, I have called almost all the agents I saw they said I have to book full flight

I am considering submitting the hotel reservations and cover letter then write them email regarding the flight reservation

I don’t know if that will work

Lyoncrescent:
Good Afternoon All, I have done the online visa form and also uploaded and submitted in the Lagos side too. How long after both submissions does it take the embassy to send a mail to submit via courier ? Thank you

i applied for mine last week Monday but I just got an email today to upload my flight reservation so yours might not take time to get response from them

please did you submit the flight reservation if so, where did you book your flight reservation without paying the full money

Please guys i urgently need help

I applied for a Brazil tourist visa a week ago, and I just got an email that my application has been reviewed but then am expected to update my application, with these documents

Introduction letter Flight booking, hotel reservation, or invitation letter

note i already uploaded my hotel reservation before, but what I don't get now is

the introduction letter is it a self-introduction letter or a company introduction letter(note: I am sponsoring myself)
and for the flight reservation, do you have any idea of the website I can use to reserve the flight

please i need urgent response

thank you

dvs511:
The embassy might send you an email to provide the missing documents. Although I'm not sure your excuse for not including a flight reservation, it might cause a denial of visa.

Most people recently got their visa approved between 4-6 months after application, maybe because of several applications the embassy received or probably because they know a lot of people are going there to give birth and left with about 3 months EDD.
You're already 25 weeks gone and just applied, going by their tactics lately, you might get a response after you've given birth unfortunately. But I wish you a favourable news.

We applied 5 months into our pregnancy and visa was granted 3 weeks after we gave birth in Nigeria

the reason I did not attach my flight reservation was that most of the websites were asking for complete payment and it is not refundable but i attached my hotel reservation

mobimuc9ja:
Congratulations to me!
My visa has been approved.

Wow congratulations

please is it tourism visa and how long did it take before it was approved

Because I also applied this January though

Good day everyone please I am 25 weeks pregnant and I submitted my Brazil tourism online application form and also submitted the delivery receipt two days ago but the status shows “in review, wait for email “ but am yet to get any email

Also among all the requirements for tourism visa I did not submit my company introduction letter because even up till now am still waiting on them to finalise the letter and also did not submit evidence for flight reservation

So I want to know if it will cause me visa denial
And how long it will take for embassy to respond

Also want to know if anyone has applied while pregnant before and if it was approved

Thank you in advance
