Process for dependent (family reunion)

Hello,

It is not the Embassy that issues visas, but rather the Consulado-Geral do Brasil in Ireland. I don't know if your husband can be issued a Temporary Visa as a dependent, since your visa is only temporary. The Family Reunion Visa is for those seeking permanent visas, who are dependents of a Brazilian citizen.

Your husband would need to contact the Consulado-Geral to find out if he qualifies for a visa. Otherwise he can enter Brazil as a tourist on his Irish or UK passport. However, he can only be in Brazil for 90 days as a tourist, with a yearly limit of 180 days. Also he would not be permitted to work or study while in Brazil.

Hi James,
The confusing part is that the embassy in Dublin has a consulate section, where they issue visas. I will ask the Federal Police in my city, as they advice him but I don't see any light. Do you know where else I could ask information?

Thank you very much

No, if you can't find someone at the Consulado that knows what the heck they're doing then the Policia Federal will be your best bet.

Cheers,
James
