It´s a law that we have about reciprocity, if a country asks for visa from us, we do the exact same thing. That´s it, simple as that.

But I agree with those who said it´s easy to get a visa to come here, Americans do it by mail, you only have to pay the fee.

I think it´s a good thing to help prevent the exploration of prostitution here in Brasil, young americans looking for easy, cheap drugs, etc.

in my view, the $100 visa was not a big deal. what was hell was spending about 2 hours in a freaking line in sao paulo to go thru a line to get my passport stamped when i wanted a cigarette after 12 hour flight! after that, on to find my luggage, catch the next flight, etc etc. barely made it due to all the hoops i had to jump thru. and that is with almost 3 hours between flights!

now if they could get more people working on stamping passports that would reduce the wait time and frustration and do more for any tourism.

and didn't get to have a cigarette till i got to curitiba, i'm sure nessa thought i was a chain smoker when she first met me :lol:

Eu acho que se os americanos tivessem que pagar ''x'' somente para acessar o site para pedir o visto, mais ''x'' para a entrevista, esperar 70 dias para uma entrevista, ter que viajar e gastar mais ''x'' porque a entrevista eles só fazem em 1 cidade e a menos que você por sorte more nesta cidade, vai gastar mais dinheiro, ser humilhado na hora da entrevista, porque eu sei que eles humilham muitas pessoas nestas entrevistas, com uma grande chance de receber um NO, porque depende basicamente do humor da pessoa que te atender para vir visitar o Brasil, acredite, ninguém viria para cá. Luis&Laura citaram acima que é recíproco, eu conversei com uma pessoa aqui um dia que disse que se a gente tem que pagar para tirar o visto para os Estados Unidos e se eles dificultam a nossa entrada lá, o mesmo a gente faz com eles, ou seja o Brasil também cobra para eles entrarem aqui etc. Não é bem isso que acontece, como vocês podem ver, o Charles nem precisou sair de casa para conseguir o visto, fácil, fácil, e a taxa de US$ 100.00 com certeza de que você vai conseguir o visto, porque eles raramente dizem não, não é nada, porque você tem certeza que vai conseguir o visto, e o que são US$ 100.00 para entrar no Brasil?

Eu não acho que faria nenhuma diferença tirar a taxa de US$ 100.00.

É. O luis também fez tudo pelo correio, pagou os 100 dólares e em uma semana estava com o visto, no questions asked. Eu paguei o agendamento, levei uma pilha de documentos comprovando minha situação financeira, etc, esperei das 7:30 às 1:30 pra ser atendida, fui SUPER maltratada, e quando recebi meu visto em casa era só pra UMA entrada, válido por 3 meses, com uma anotação que era só pra eu visitar Porto Rico, ou seja, se eu trocasse minha viagem pra NY, não podia, eu teria que tirar o visto de novo.

É injusto, verdade, mas também, pergunta quantos americanos vêm viver ilegalmente no Brasil, e quantos brasileiros estão lá?

Não acho que tenha muito americano vivendo aqui no Brasil ilegalmente, é tão fácil para eles entrarem aqui legally, pra que arriscar né?

É justamente isso que estou falando. As leis são mais severas pra gente porque tem um mundo de brasileiros ilegais lá, mas pra eles é fácil porque poucos vêm ilegalmente.

Eu não assisto novela. Mas pelo que minha mãe me contou, eles exageraram bastante.

hola!

espero que estien bien. perdoname que no entiendo el portugues. aunque si lo pude leer un poco. :D

so, in order notto make you guys read spanish, i will continue on in english.

essentially i wanted to add that yes, it seems fair that the brazilian gov't require americans to apply a visitor's visa to visit brazil. also, i can see why many ppl/brazilians are denied a visa at the embassy: it is an unfortunate response to the fact that many ppl get visas and eventuall stay in the usa illegally. i wish it wasn't so. i love to travel and just hate all of the legalities involved.

ok, back to the regular programming and getting ready to watch some futbol! :D:dance:

I can read spanish so, yeah, hope you´re fine too. :P

Anyone read anything new about all this?

Btw, did you guys see the increase in tourist visa applications? The wait line for an interview is now at least 3 months. I´m glad our cases go through different offices.
