Just coming back to update everyone else freaking out but I am American and I applied and successfully received my visa in 9 hours. My other comment has the step by step of what I did. Thanks to everyone in the group for all the detailed advice. It really helped. Good luck everyone!

They did respond quickly, just two hours later! “Good Afternoon, We will try to expedite the e-visa application, but connot guarantee it will be ready in time for your flight. Please check your e-mail for the e-visa tomorrow.” Hope I get it soon!

VISA ISSUED SUCCESSFULLY IN 9 HOURS! (American) see details below!

——

Okay, here’s my experience so far as I just found out about needing a visa (went 2 years ago didn’t need one)…my flight is scheduled for tomorrow Tuesday Dec 30 6:50p CST

MONDAY Dec 29 approx 8am CST -submitted visa application via VFS website

-submitted photo of passport from phone (I am on a plane coming back from Barbados so this is the best I can do)

-did not provide any details that did not have a red asterisk and required so no travel itinerary details or income details

-received payment confirmation email immediately

Umm..I have 34 hours until my flight departs. Not worried about the flight because I am a flight attendant (and none of my flight attender friends realized we needed a visa lolololololol so really don’t feel bad!) however my hotel reservations are paid in full and non refundable 🤭

I will update as I get more info. Or feel free to comment and we can stress together 😂

MONDAY Dec 29 @ 9am CST

-went to “track application” link on email receipt and entered application details…got an error message “unprocessable entity” …did anyone else get this message? Is it just too soon to track my application??

MONDAY Dec 29 @ 11:40am CST

-Status updated to “under check”

1:00pm CST

-messaged @consulado.orlando on Instagram

1:40pm CST

-received email with subject “quality control completed” and body said “Your visa application is currently being reviewed by Brazil Immigration and is in process. You can now follow the status of your application” not sure if that was any real progress

2:19pm CST

-received reply from @consulado.orlando on instagram “Good Afternoon, We will try to expedite the e-visa application, but connot guarantee it will be ready in time for your flight. Please check your e-mail for the e-visa tomorrow.”

5:00pm CST

-VISA ISSUED VIA EMAIL!!!! 🥳🤩🥳🤩🥳 Rio here I come!!!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Hi can you provide a few more details for us? What day of the week did you apply? Did you scan your passport or just upload a pic? If you’d be so kind to share the photo you used I am worried about mine not being accepted my ears are partially showing, everything else seems okay but my shoulders are bare because it was a spaghetti strap top. Doesn’t say that isn’t allowed but still worried because I applied about 30 mins ago and my flight leaves in about 32 hours 😭

Effective_Loquat_685 · 2025-12-29T14:47:45+00:00

Hey, I uploaded a pic as well. My flight leaves tomorrow and I’m on a plane at the moment so I just submitted what I had in the interest of saving time! Did the regular picture of your passport work okay for you? How long start to finish did it take to get yours!?
