There are several notable 2008 changes with Brazilian tourist Visa application. They include:
- Application fee raised to $130 from $100.
- Additional $10 fee for mail away or third party.
- Required to supply copy of ticket or itinerary with application.

I got my second 5 year Visa today thru Washington DC Consulate. Used Travel Documents Express. It was just a while back they were giving 90 day Visas but seems to have changed to 5 years again or maybe I just lucked out as the girl a TD told me. - Hemp

I've never heard of anyone not getting a 5-year through the DC Embassy, she was probably bullshitting you to make you feel better about paying their fee.

Cat I think she was trying to flirt with me - they ALL do you know. - Hemp

Yeah yeah, and I'm sure they made a side bet to see if you would expire before the 5-year visa does

Cat - Since GCL and I have the 500 mile rule, how about you and me the 1000. I would love to meet both you guys for lunch say in 2012 OK?

ps - heheheheh I'll be in Rio before you.

The raise in the fee is compliments of the Bush Administration. We raised our fee to $130 and they reciprocated.

Can we move the election up to next week?

I suppose we could move the election up to next week, but only if we stipulate no Republican can be on the ballot. Otherwise, it is beginning to look like we may get a Bush clone as our next president given how the Clintons and Obama have been behaving lately.

In December he got me a 5 year visa. Only took 3 days, and his service was very good. I believe that cost for the service was $49.00.

I have used two other agencies before. This palce was the best service.

I would recommend them for the quick and polite service.

If you can't handle an extra $30 every 5 years, maybe you should find another hobby.

It is just the thought of getting screwed that bothers people on CH.

We never screw others, it only happens to us.
