That is not true. Admission letter are signed by program coordinators, not by international office.

Imalwayshorny:
The document signed by your HOD of Mathematics is most likely being rejected because Brazilian Consulates require the official Letter of Acceptance (Carta de Aceite) to be issued directly by the university's central international office or graduate dean, not by individual academic departments.

Why notarize admission letter issued by a university? You guys like wasting money with notary lawyer.

Also ensure the final admission selection list should also be signed with SEI or gov.br.
After that you upload, do not take it to any notary in Nigeria to sign.

You are the one delaying yourself with unnecessary process.

JBWalex:
Please, I need help concerning my VISA application. I secured an admission at UFBA in Brazil, and the school has resumed since 19th of last month. I was asked to upload a file as requested in the screenshot I attached to this comment. The document I submitted which had been signed by the HOD of Mathematics UFBA, both in English and Brazilian Portuguese, is still being rejected. Please, where have I gone wrong? Those who have had their VISA application approved should please guide me on this ABEG! And I don't want my scholarship to be withheld.

You can always monitor your visa status by using " check status". They don't send email

GCUB and PEC-PG are scholarship programs to get admission into Brazilian universities. You don't need to have admission before you apply.

Applying directly to Brazilian universities is alternative pathway to getting admission and also getting scholarship.

GCUB and PEC-PG take limited number of people yearly, applying directly to several universities increase your chances and opportunities.

While you try your luck with GCUB, don't stop there, apply to universities also to increase your chances of getting in.

I want to know if one will first got admitted in any Brazilian public university before applying for this Gcub

Some have applied for Legalization since January and February, there is general delay and the process is slow.
Legalization of police character certificate is a waste of money, it's not necessary.
Legalize your academic documents, birth certificate and marriage certificate only.

While applying for Legalization of documents at the Brazilian embassy, it's required you submit the original authenticated copy of your birth certificate, the embassy don't legalize photocopy of birth certificate, it will be returned without being legalized. Let's take note.

Travel › Re: Study In Brazil: Admissions And Visa Procedures by SugarPg(m): 1:20am On May 14

Universities requesting for legalized documents from the Brazilian consulate at home country during application or enrollment are not up to 5%, it's best you look towards other universities without such requirements.

FXtrader2025:
Tadedetule SugarPG, it seems lots of universities are requesting for Embassy Authenticated documents for Admission Applications.
I dont know if its possible to apply with just MOFA and MOE authentication.

From the picture it looks like it was forced to ripe, and some parts are already getting bad. It's not worth half the amount spend.
It's sad that Nigerians no longer have access to quality and natural fruits.

In the 90's I used to buy soursop for N2, big and naturally ripe.

Then with N1 i will buy fresh 6 mangoes. Oranges were very cheap then also. We eat fruits as snacks.For some years now you can't even get cheap fruits to buy, they are so expensive.
Children can't even have sufficient fruits to eat and get nourished with vitamins. It's sad.

Mariangeles:
Anyways, it was juicy sha, and I really enjoyed it.
And I kept some of the seeds because they've got work to do. 👀

You people should be ready to buy soursop from me a few years from now. 😌

Testimonials have nothing to do with post graduate studies, it is for those applying for undergraduate studies.

For MSC , you just need WAEC, BSC and transcript for academic documents.

Then birth certificate and marriage certificate for non-academic

peppo4live:
I think the answer should be YES...

and all the documents must be legalized before you can even applied for the student visa..

Legalization... Legalize at Ministry of Education and foreign affairs...then you notarize it with embassy lawyer.

after that pay embassy fees and upload them on their website. after reviewing them, then you will be requested to send it.

After the above process, then you can now apply for your visa

Don't let your poor academic result ( low 2.2, 3rd class or Pass) discourage you from Brazil study quest.

Someone with pass have been able to secure admission into a good program/school.

What is important is to have a well packaged profile that meets the program's requirements.

There is no specific timeline. check the selection notice timelines for the date for enrolment, admission letter are usually released after enrolment.
Also write a mail to your program coordination to find out these details.

We should be careful about some of those instructions given, some are for different visa application or immigration purpose, not specifically for study purpose.

Legalization of documents for academic purpose do not need a Brazilian address for it to be sent to, the documents will be sent back to you or as it had hitherto been done returned back with your passport with visa(that is when you apply for Legalization along side your Visa).

If your legalized documents are sent to Brazil whose purpose I can't say and doesn't make sense, which documents will you now submit when they request for physical copies after booking appointment?

Schools don't request documents sent to them, after arrival you do formal registration.

What we need to do now is to get a prepaid envelope with your address to receive the legalized documents, just like you will repeat when submitting the physical copies when requested.

Mide3367:
. It was something else entirely. Got it yesterday. Brazilian embassy has now made it mandatory to legalize your documents before you can apply for student visa. And police character certificate must come with receipt from ministry of foreign affairs.

First authenticate at ministry of foreign affairs and ministry of education

Notarize at either of the 2 law chambers approved by the embassy

Legalize at embassy

That's when you can apply for student visa now.

That's why my documents were sent back. I only notarize and authenticated all documents. No legalization done. I need to get receipt for my police character certificate now before i can apply for legalization because it is mandatory

Why obtain your police clearance certificate long before you are ready to submit your visa application. We should try and be strategic about some of these things. If you are submitting visa application by March, you ought to have done the PCC by February so that it will still be valid during the visa application period and your entry into Brazil, because you will still need it valid why applying for your RNM document in Brazil. Some people have had to get another PCC because theirs expired.

Only proceed to authenticate your documents after obtaining your admission letter or close to getting it and you know you are ready to proceed with visa application, so that you don't go through the stress of Abuja twice.

Beforenow:
Afternoon all and merry Christmas.

I'm writing to seek clarification regarding my police clearance certificate timeline. My police clearance certificate will be ready in a few days, and my POF will mature on March 18. I plan to submit my visa application online on March 19.

However, the police clearance certificate expires in three months, meaning it will have only about one week of validity left at the time of my application submission

Given the certificate's short validity period at the time of application, I'm concerned about potential implications if the Brazilian authorities request the original document submission after it expires. Could you advise if this might affect my application?

Thanks for your guidance.

For Those who did not make the PEC-PG list

Now that PEC-PG is gone, it is not a time to feel sad or gloomy, it is a time to be motivated to push through and achieve what you desire.

I never got GCUB when i applied for it but it never kept me down, i applied to several schools and at the end i got 5 admissions with 3 scholarships. I had the liberty of choosing the one that i wanted. PEC-PG scholarship stipend for Msc is R$2100, but you can get above that if you got private funded scholarship via a professor.
Also it is advantageous to get a private funded project scholarship because the laws permit you to accumulate it with CAPES or departmental scholarships. But you can't accumulate other scholarships with GCUB or PEC-PG .

March 2026 resumption is still a reality, do not give up. I hope this helps someone
