beehive273 Posted September 10, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Am leaving on Dec. 2 cruise from Malaga to Rio. Has anyone used the Brazilian consulate in L.A. in person to secure their visas? Azamara is booking our air and I am concerned about getting the flight info in ample time to secure our visas being that Thanksgiving holidays are in the time frame. We live in So. Cal. so prefer not to use a visa service. Anyone have some advice for us? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsync Posted September 10, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I applied in person last month. The appointment was quick and I picked up my visa in 5 business days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted September 10, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Remember that time of the year they may not hold to five business days. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fattony Posted September 10, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The strike affecting some Brazilian consulates and embassies is over, with signing of the new salary deal for most (but not all) public employees? The "Los Angeles" consulate is in Beverly Hills, of course. I doubt they'd check on your airline tickets if they aren't confirmed when you apply.

beehive273 Posted September 13, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I presume you were lucky enough to have all your documents available.. flight info and such. Right? We are still waiting for cruise line to arrange our flights for our Dec. 2 cruise and get that info before we can apply... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jafbrad Posted September 18, 2012 #8 Share Posted September 18, 2012 We did have all the necessary documents; but, since it only takes a week from the time you submit the application to receiving the visas, you have plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
