Overview

According to Brazilian regulations, all visa applications for minors must be authorised by both parents or legal guardians. This authorisation must usually be signed in person before a consular officer at the embassy. In exceptional cases, the consular authority can analyse for it to be done differently. If the minor has only one parent, or only one legal guardian, the authorisation must be signed solely by that individual, and supporting documentation must be presented to confirm this status. The consular authority reserves the right to request additional documents and require the presence of the parent or guardian at the embassy, whenever deemed necessary. This requirement applies to all types of visas issued to minors. Legal guidance can help clarify the applicable rules, the risks involved, and the next step that fits your situation.
