Brazil Visa Application for Tourism and Business
If a United States citizen tries to enter Brazil without the proper paperwork they are subject to immediate deportation in addition to hefty fines. Only a few specific items are needed in order to complete your Brazil visa application. A valid passport, accompanied by the application, a picture, a travel itinerary, and the required fees are all that are needed.
Typically, a Brazil visa application is good for 90 days. The first entry into the country must take place within that time period and multiple entries and exits are allowed during the 90 day period that the visa is valid. Extensions can be obtained through the Brazilian federal police 30 days before the expiration of the visa, for a maximum stay of 180 days.

Brazilian Medical Facilities
Medical care is generally good, but it varies in quality, particularly in remote areas, and it may not meet U.S. standards outside the major cities. The Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo is regularly used by U.S. Government personnel and other expatriates from throughout Brazil.
The hospital phone is (55-11) 3747-1301.
Crime
Crime rates throughout Brazil have increased, but remain highest in the larger cities. The incidence of crime against tourists is greater in areas surrounding beaches, hotels, discotheques, bars, nightclubs, and other similar establishments that cater to visitors and is especially prevalent during Carnaval (Brazilian Mardi Gras). Occasionally, crime against tourists has been violent and has led to some deaths. While the risk is greater at dusk and during the evening hours, street crime can occur during both the day and night, and safer areas of the city are not immune. Incidents of theft on city buses are frequent, and such transportation should be avoided. Several Brazilian cities have established specialized tourist police units to patrol areas frequented by tourists. Recently, there has been a marked increase in crime in the capital, Brasilia. Armed robberies of homes and vehicles, some violent, and street crime are becoming commonplace. In Rio de Janeiro, efforts by jailed drug lords to exert influence over the city, has lead to a violent backlash against the local authorities and businesses.
