Visa to enter Brazil Question?
I'm a US Citizen. I've been to Brazil before just that this is the first time I have to issue the visa myself. I had a Visa on 2005 that say it is valid for 5 years, but I got a new passport. Applying for a new visa will bring problems because I still have a valid one? Can that visa be transfered to my new passport? Other thing. I;m going to take a short course in a Brazilian university...still I should apply for the tourist visa and not the student visa right?

Hello There My friend was in your same position recently and she was told by the Brazilian consulate and the Airlines a passenger may enter Brazil with a valid visa in an expired passport provided: - the page which contains the valid visa in the expired passport has not been invalidated or mutilated in a manner as to make the visa illegible. - the passenger holds also a valid passport of the same nationality. - a handwritten annotation does not appear in the passport that passenger has been advised to obtain a new visa in valid passport. IN ALL CASES, TRANSFER OF A VALID VISA TO A VALID PASSPORT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. As far as getting a Student Visa or not..it truly depends what you will be doing..If you-re just going for a confence for a few days or a Language course that's under 90 days..then you-re tourist visa should be fine..But if you will be participating in any other form of educational activity a student visa will be required.I would suggest you apply ASAP for your Visa as a Student Visa sometimes takes a few weeks to process. Best of Luck!
