Visa & health requirements

Information prepared by the Government of Brazil

All participants should contact the Brazilian Embassy or Consulate General in their home country for the issuance of a visa. Participants from countries without Brazilian diplomatic representation may contact the Consulate General in New York to find out the most convenient Brazilian representation to be granted a visa.

From May 17th to June 18th 2004, an office of the Ministry of External Relations of Brazil will be set up at the Palais des Nations, in Geneva, to grant visas to the UNCTAD XI participants. Free diplomatic and official visas will be granted to members of delegations, and free courtesy ones to their wives and children upon presentation of travel document valid for at least 6 months and of official notification, in which must be mentioned the names of the applicants and the objective of their mission. Pictures will not be necessary.

Media professionals will be granted temporary visas (vitem-II), upon presentation of travel document valid for at least 6 months, visa request form filled out, passport photo and letter of the news agency attesting the objective of the trip. A fee of R$-ouro 60 (US$60) will be collected. A processing fee of R$-ouro 100 (US$100) may apply for nationals of some countries.
