Logachev:
OK house...so I travelled to Lagos last month and submitted an application for Brazil tourist visa at the Consulate. My wife is pregnant but we did it nicely that it didn't show a bit. We had a nice chat with the VO and he said we would get a mail informing us to come pick our passports soonest. He said if we weren't available, we could detail someone to pick up for us provided we inform the consulate prior...and all. Howbeit, I had to travel last weekend and I informed a friend in Lekki that he would do the pick up for us when the time comes. Now I have received a mail form the Consulate inviting us for an interview. I don't know if this is an invitation to pick up our passports or another round of VO interview. Mind you every single document submitted was authentic and original so I'm not worried of any such incident. I just want to confirm if this email title is meant to be invitation for collection of passport or not

The Brazilian door will close pretty soon just like the US.

Hi Logachev,

I suggest you call the consulate to clarify things. It also depends on the content of the email. The best advice i can give is to make a call to the consulate or respond to the email and ask them for clarification. Thanks

Zigdore:
hello logachev, we hope for success in your application..
Please i wish to ask you some questions
1. Did you get an invitation for the tour company or from someone in Brazil.
2. Can you share you interview questions and answers with the VO.
Thanks...
As we except to hear goodnews from you soon

OK...so I was supposed to get an invite from a Brazilian friend but I think she didn't feel cool that I was visiting with my wife considering that she is single...so she kept postponing invite letter until I dumped that option so I make a direct reservation in a hotel in Rio and used that reservation instead.

When we were called to go inside for our VO interview, the VO on sighting us said "Am I safe"? Lol. Because my wife came in her uniform...I then answered that he was safe. Then we sat. He asked for my file first, went through, returned documents that were not necessary. (Not a word uttered). He then asked for wife's folder, went through the documents. Returned unnecessary docs. He then asked for my wife's account statement then I said we will be using mine. ( I had attached my bank statement in her file too and a cover letter). He wondered if the balance will be sufficient considering "Brazil is an expensive country" but I said we had done our analysis properly. Then he said we would get a mail to come pick up our passports and we can use substituted means to pick up. We didn't spend up to 12 mins with the VO.

Brazil is actively seeking birth tourists so I doubt that door would close anytime soon. Besides there's no Trump in Brazil

ARRANT NONSENSE!!!!

Okay, so I’m also on my application and Brazil is not seeking birth tourists, infact they are not allowing pregnant women in from the look of things. The tour company I’m using specifically told me that I may be invited for physical examination by the embassy for them to be sure I’m not pregnant and my application is even non appearance.

So Logachev, that MAY be what the interview is about but normally, it’s women they invite. If your wife is not showing yet, you are good.

I'm not sure what you mean by the door closing, but if it's about the Immigration Laws changing then there is close to zero chance of that happening either in the US or Brazil. Jus soli is deeply ingrained in the Americas. If you are talking about the local interview processes to either places from Nigeria then that's another matter.

You have been offline or not watching news for a long time

Justwise don't bring up unnecessary argument, upload your source and let's see. If u don't have then let's be,

You will remember this post when Brazil slam the door on Nigerians for the abuse of their free health care system, the US started like this but now the door is almost completely closed.

u just explain better by mention FREE HEALTH CARE, u are right though because the complain is coming up gradually, we urge Nigerian to avoid using public hospital and if they are to use, it should not be on free scheme. Thanks

The US never had a free healthcare system and there is no door closed for Nigerians as far as I am concerned. I have never be denied a US visa and if you meet the requirements and do well in the interview there just isn't any reason to be denied a US visa(or frankly any other visa) even with Trump and the drop box cancellation. I actually consider the US visa to be the easiest to get, it's very straightforward if you meet the requirements.

Same goes for this Brazilian visa too. Brazil is a very big country, almost 200m population and isn't the UK or any of these European countries. There's no trooping in of Nigerians that will suddenly make Brazillian authorities start to close any door. Most people that take advantage of this birth citizenship are from visa free countries to Brazil..there is a well known INTERNATIONAL thread on this that has been going on for years, it's not like its a new thing it's just that Nigerians are just waking up to it.

justwise:


Tell me where you read that from

Just from experiences of folks down here. Let me rephrase maybe that came out wrongly. Brazilian authorities know about this birth citizenship and welcome it. It's not a lightning rod issue here and you won't get any official here refuse you entry if your stated goal is to give birth here as long as you have all the necessary legal documents and can take care of yourself

if you ever tell immigration officer that you are coming to use their free healthcare to give birth and give your child BR passport, while being on a tourist visa.... you will be refused entry into Brazil!

Obviously you have not being reading or you refused to read at all, take your time and go through US birthing thread from part 1 till the current part and tell me if anything has changed.

US is far bigger than Brazil and birthing there is not free but still they slammed the door to a large number of people going there to give birth even as they will be paying, Brazil offers free health care and will do the same sooner than US when a large proportion of people using their health care system are foreigners.

No country will have an open door policy for whoever wants to come in to use the health care and leave without contributing nothing to the system.

If you think that things will not change then i need some of whatever you have being smoking.

bro stop writing rubbish online... it's not only stoopid but also very dangerous (to the gullible people who may foolishly believe what you wrote).

NOBODY should ever tell immigration officers that they are coming to give birth and abuse their free healthcare.... especially NOT now with the millions of Venezuelans putting a stress on healthcare in the northern part of the country. do you really think Brazil can stop Venezuelans (who are part of the Mercosur agreement) to freeload on their healthcare but gladly allow Nigerians to do so?!?!?! abeg WAKE UP!!!!

Well if you already secure a job in Brazil, then that is different but then from the knowledge I have it isnt so common cos most employers want you to have a basic knowledge of Portuguese, but then there are instances that your company where you work in Nigeria or any other place has a collaboration with another company in brazil or maybe a sister company/firm in brazil, in such cases the visa that the embassy would give you wont be a tourist visa anymore. but if you planning to go give birth in brazil then its better to go with sufficient money first and then after getting your PR which doesnt take long after you have given birth..then you can start surfing for jobs around

peppo4live:


If job is waiting for someone in Brazil, does that mean that person has gotten PR automatically... What can you say about securing work visa at their embassy in Nigeria... Hope they are not that strict with it?

Thanks

Well, lets hope they aint calling you for a pregnancy test, cos I am fully aware that some brazilian embassies in some countries have started doing pregnancy test for any lady applying for tourist visa. I really dont know if they have started that in Nigeria. but before you go pls place a call to the embassy and ask for clarifications as pertaining the email that was sent. I pray they wont start that in Nigeria cos thats gonna affect so many people that would love to go give birth in Brazil

No sir the door can never be closed, its already in the constitution so that cant be changed. The worst they can do if they see that nigerians are taking too much advantage of their free health care is to make securing a visa stricter and more difficult. The US door has not closed, they just made US visa more difficult to get for we Nigerians, many people from different countries have really been taking advantage of this birth tourism in brazil but people'e eyes in naija just opened to this and am sure with what US is doing to Nigerians now, Brazil is gonna be so flooded soon especially for birth tourism. If you ask me sincerely in my own opinion I prefer giving birth in brazil to the US because of the many benefits attached to it for both the child and the parents which US doesn't offer.

My brother, If when you were entering, you mentioned to the immigration officer at the airport that you were coming in to give birth especially in their public hospital and you were let in, then i must consider you lucky. I think God placed that officer for you there. ona good day, even if they would let you in eventually, they sure will tackle you small not just express entry and if you tell them you coming to a private hospital, they will ask you for documents supporting that from the private hospital. So it is never adviceable to mention such thing at the airport. and then anyone going to give birth, I advice you enter thru Rio de Janeiro airport, cos from various observations they officers there dont really pay much attention to you at the immigration counter unlike the airport in Sao Paulo that is busier and so there are lots of officers here and there at the airport...#justmyopinion
