How to apply for brazilian visa

Any foreign marriage must be registered with the Consulado-Geral do Brasil. So if you married in India then it must be registered with the Consulado in Mumbai or New Delhi whichever has jurisdiction over the city where you live. If the marriage was here in Brazil (Casamento por Procuração - Proxy Marriage) then you do not need to do this step. You can simply go straight to the process of applying for a VIPER Permanent Visa based on marriage, at the Consulate.
