Hey aakaay,

Thank you. I did not start the thread but became active after i successfully gave birth and wanted to provide my own first hand knowledge of the process. Congrats on your first child in the US. You already have a good background for your next journey.

When it comes to visa, i prefer to direct everyone to the official embassy website. This is because every visa application is different therefore my situation may be different from yours. I prefer to share experiences related to post-visa processes. Kindly find below the official website of the embassy. All infos are there. I read it myself and think you will get answers to all visa related questions.

Just a general view and please remember this was my situation and may differ from yours.

1. I or my friend were never required to submit an invitation letter from someone in Brazil and this is clearly stated on the official website. You are required to submit either an invitation letter or a hotel booking. We both used the hotel booking option. (This does not mean you have to do same). I have a lot of tourist visas in my passport therefore booking a hotel as a tourist is considered normal for me.

2. I and my friend were never asked to show up at the embassy. The embassy has the option of sending in your documents by mail or in person. The embassy's website however states that they reserve the right to ask you to show in person.

3. About applying for a tourist visa to give birth unfortunately i cannot comment on that. Please used your own discretion and judgement.

4. About applying for you son. I don't understand the question? which application? visa, permanent residency or citizenship for your Son? I will assume you mean visa. If your son is American then he does not need a visa to stay in Brazil for 90 days. This visa exemption took effect on June 17 this year.

Please fill free to come back with more questions or clarifications.

Cheers

A big smile on my face every morning as i look at my Brazilian baby and the fact that all my future children will be Brazilian (because I and my spouse have permanent residency). Knowing that in less than a year from now, I’m also going to hold my own Brazilian passport and can travel to every single country in Europe visa free and indeed be able to attend job interviews and work in 171+ ECOWAS countries around the world is indeed a blessing to my family.

It is my hope that many of my Nigerian brothers and sisters will have such smiles on their faces. Please feel free to ask any questions here and we will try and answer them to the best of our knowledge. The door to Brazil is wide open. My good friend is 7 months pregnant and just went for her visa last 2 weeks. She is Nigerian too and she was not asked any pregnancy test or whatsoever. Brazil is an advanced country and will most likely not ask you such test as it can be against your right as a woman.

Let’s keep the thread alive...

Peace
