Yes Cecilia, you would need a visa for Brazil. The only countries entering Brazil that do not need visas are listed on this website:

Although not officially required according to the Brazilian embassy website, some of the Brazilian consulates will ask you for a copy of your credit card. They make gringos jump through hoops because the American government treats the Brazilians like criminals, finger printing and photographing them as they enter the USA. It sucks, I know, but you have to cater to them if you want to visit. Hopefully you will not get a consulate official who hates Americans and reject you for that.

I have updated instructions on my blog at eitheror.com. The times for pickup have changed, as have the fees. Also the documentation requirements are slightly different if you are traveling on business.

PLEASE READ THESE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY. I went this morning and they gave us this ridiculous runaround and, after going to an internet kiosk several times to print out additional forms, we ran out of time and they closed on us.

One thing that is very unclear from the website is that you also need a bank statement that is current, i.e. they need a bank statement that shows activity up to the current date. For example, I went on June 17, 2008 with a statement from May 2008. They wanted the statement that showed activity in the last few days. The “reasoning” was that we could have taken all our money out of the account within the last 2 weeks and they would have no idea. Anyway, many Americans have been getting rejected for this, so please make sure you have that most recent statement.

Do this well in advance of your planned trip to Brazil. There’s all sorts of red tape and it could well take you a few tries to get it right.
