Hello, everyone. Please tell me how to apply for a Brazilian visa. I signed up on this ec-lagos.itamaraty.gov.br/ website, but I don't see anything about the visa application here.

I already filled the online application form here https://formulario-mre.serpro.gov.br/sci/pages/web/ui/#/instrucoes-iniciais-visto

After this, please what do I do?
Thank you.

Hello, please were you able to find the flight route and are you in Argentina now?

Also, please what visa did you use and how was the application process like? Did you have to visit the embassy or were you able to just send your passport to them?

Thank you.

The school is for science and technology... I can't find where to apply for português language.
I will appreciate any further clarification from you.

Muito obrigado
Type something like "Curso de portugues como lingua adicional Instituto federal de Sao Paulo". The course is not only available in Sao Paulo though. You can check for the one in the city you live in. Admission usually starts 3 months before the course start date.

I suggest you already start learning Portuguese on an app like DuoLingo before the course begins because the teacher would most likely teach in Portuguese even if they can speak English. However, if you are particular about English, then Sao Paulo has a course called "Portugues como lingua adicional para falantes de ingles."

olad2020:
Would suggest you apply for a Tourist visa then:
1. Switch to a course in a private school. Some allow part-time study on Saturdays OR
2. Try switching to a Digital Nomad Visa from here
Just do a language program at an "Instituto Federal" instead of a private school to save cost. The program would most likely be virtual but you can use it to get a student visa because the learning hours is a lot in principle. However, classes are like 2-4 hours per week then you complete the other materials by taking the course online via the Moodle learning platform.

FamilyChallenges Of Using A Compound Surname by scicey(op): 11:03pm On Oct 27, 2022
Hi, are there any challenges of using a compound surname in Nigeria especially when filling forms?
TravelRe: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by scicey(f): 10:39pm On Apr 19, 2022
Not true, a married woman can choose to maintain her father's surname. Nowhere in the constitution is a married woman required to bear her husband's surname.

Being married makes her a Mrs whether she is using her father's surname, her husbands own or an entirely different surname.

giselle237:
if u are using ur father’s name u are Miss… you can’t be Mrs your father’s surname. If you want to use your husband’s surname and the title Mrs then change the name on your nin online, it is 600 naira . Start the process immediately.
https://nimc.gov.ng/modifications-adults/
Only change in dob that’s expensive, rest is 600 including fees
TravelRe: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by scicey(f): 10:34pm On Apr 19, 2022
An affidavit of same name would suffice.

It is basically a legalized document that states that you are the same person bearing those names.

I have multiple surnames on my birth certificate but I only use one of them and I didn't have any issues with this when applying. Their main focus is your NIN actually so use what is on your NIN.

jibbyfresh:
1. The name on my birth certificate is Boluwatife but i now use Bolutife for my documents. should i do birth certificate affidavit for capturing

2. Does guarantor need to fill all part 1-3 or only part 1

Response will be appreciated. Thank you
TravelRe: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by scicey(f):
I used Mrs and my maiden name. If someone is filling the form for you, they may want to use Miss, insist that you are Mrs.
If you know you will eventually change to your husbands surname before the passport expires, I suggest you just use his surname from the get-go but this would mean you have to change it in your NIN. If you don't want the stress, just use Mrs and your father's surname like you have been doing.

If one of the reasons you don't want to use your husbands surname is so your name is easily identified on your sons birth certificate, you can get another one issued if he was born in Nigeria or at the consulate of the country he was born in.

Deeedeee:
Pls if I may ask, when applying for your international passport , which did u choose miss or Mrs for your status. As a married woman but still using her maiden name...
Pls kindly response

Anyone here who did passport in Asaba recently?
TravelRe: Giving Birth In Brazil by scicey(f): 7:58pm On Apr 14, 2022
For those who have applied for a visa as a family, do you submit one application containing everyone's information or do you complete several applications?

My husband and I with both our sisters would like to visit Brazil as we are considering it as a potential place to migrate to.

The fund for the entire trip is in my husband's account which is why I am asking.

If we have to complete separate applications, will we need to provide any documentation that shows he is the sponsor for the trip?

Hello expert in the house, is it wise to apply for my cpf via the embassy portal here in Nigeria or sort it out upon arrival in brazil.
If you got your visa in-person, I suggest you do it here especially if you don't know Portuguese.

You can fill the online form according to the consulate's instruction, print the document, upload it to the e-consular website and wait for it to be approved within the same or next working day. Then select an "interview" date. Basically, you will just give them the same documents you did online in-person and they would give you the cpf number.

I have never been to Brazil or even applied for a visa yet but I got mine done here because I needed it to enroll in an online course at a Brazilian University.

If you have not gone to collect your visa approval docs, just give them the printed docs the same day.

When I did mine, it didn't take up to 30 minutes.

Collected my passport today from Alausa office, 10 years, 64 pages.
100% DIY for renewal.
Started the process August 18, did data capturing on August 26.
Passport was issued on September 1, (just 1 week as opposed to the official 3 weeks).
The only thing was that I never got notification about the passport being ready and if I hadn’t been too lazy to go and check myself, I would have gotten it much earlier.
I can testify that Alausa is DIY-friendly, well, provided that there are no scarcity issues.
Congratulations on finally getting your passport.

Please I have a question. What was the official collection date written on your slip?

Please, who has valid info on the availability of passport booklet in Benin city, Edo state office.

My contact keep saying no booklet since forever.

I want to know if anyone has been issued passport from the Benin office recently.

Thanks �
Have you started the process already or the person is just saying you should chill first as there is no booklet?

SweetOnugbo:
I don't have an agent. I want to go to the office directly.
If you go to the office directly and will get an agent there, they can provide you with a guarantor. But if you already have someone who can be your guarantor, I suggest you do all that relates to it yourself.

Legalizing the filled guarantor form in a court or notary office should not cost more than 1k.

Attach the passport of your guarantor on the form when you go to legalize it so they can stamp on it as well.



Personally, I am still in the process of getting mine done and here is how I did it.

I paid online and had all my documents ready including the guarantor form. Then, I went to the office at Alausa and approached different officers. Most were reluctant since I have everything I need but one lady agreed and collected 15k from me to FasTrack the process because I told her I need the passport in one week.

I was supposed to capture the same day but I made changes on my NIN the day before that had not reflected so I captured 2 days later.

Now, on the NIS portal, it says my application has been approved.

According to NIS customer care, it means my application has been approved and my passport will be included for production.

They gave me a date of December 6 to collect my passport in the capturing office but I am assuming that it is just for formalities and that my passport will be ready next week.

In all, I only saved slightly over 10k by having all my documents ready while still using an agent (because they charge 65k for 5 years 64 Pages which is what I did).

Hopefully, my passport is ready next week as planned.

Lol, I know I said too much but from what I understand, you are doing something similar to what I did so I just wanted you to get a clearer picture of how it has gone for me so you can make a more informed decision.
