you should get France tourist Visa if you want Mexico as France or any other Schengen country Visa will grant free entry to Mexico.

For the Brazil Visa you don't need any lawyer. You are to apply from the Embassy in London. Go to the Brazil consulate site in London and read the procedures and requirements for VIVIS visa. Also read this Nairaland thread and also send the Embassy an email for possible questions you may have. People on this thread are very helpful too so you can always ask specific questions. Good luck.

Thank you for the suggestion. I highly appreciate it. I contacted a Brazilian immigration lawyer, and received their reply. They charge $1250 for visa processing and follow-ups for the child's citizenship and permanent residency of the parents. I suppose it's worth it considering the services they "claim" to be rendering.
Another option is if I can get recommendations to someone who has gone through the entire childbirth and permanent residency process in the past, and is currently residing in Brazil to carry us along with the whole thing. We discuss payment, then I can pursue the visa process myself.

Hello guys, thank you all for all the insightful comments on this thread. They have been tremendously helpful.
My wife is just 7 weeks pregnant and we are looking forward to giving birth either in Brazil or in Mexico. We are currently living in the UK. Which takes me to my questions.

1. Has anyone applied for the Brazilian visa from the UK?

2. Do have to contact a Brazilian lawyer to assist with the visa application and advice? I would like to know where to start from.

The plan is to get her a visa first, then later on I will begin my own application.
I need help and advice on this please. Thank you guys.
