Brazilian Visa in Buenos Aires for Australian
My friend who was planning the trip had left the visa issue until last minute and we have already booked our flights !!! and we need to get into Brazil to get home to Australia...I am stressing a little bit and not sure what to do as I am not going to Igassu falls - but I am going to Buenos Aires, it says on their website it will take 3 days (http://www.conbrasil.org.ar/CONSBRASIL/visas_otros01engl.asp), Which is fine but what is the chance of this changing or increasing ? could they take longer as the 3rd working day after i apply would be my last day in Buenos Aires until I go Rio.....
really stressing and some help would be awesome - cheers.

That is 3 days to wait for the visa after you apply (may be less). To apply, you need to make an appointment online, and there are reports that i can take up to 3 weeks to get an appointment at the BA embassy, so apply for the appointment now.Other Brazilian consulates can do in 24 hours such as here in Mendoza, so look to see if there Brazilian consulates where you are going (ie:Cordoba).

In theory 3 days is the maximum, but I have heard of getting it in less.For other readers than the OP , I should add that at this exact moment, there are still some appointment spaces left for this Monday, the 15th, but this is the off-season, so do not delay in getting your appointments if this is the route you take.

You may be able to get a transit visa (a friend got one for a few days to get her flight back to Oz too).Or if you are heading via Iguazu Falls, you can get the visa there and it will take a day (by reports).
