Not a question - just a heads up for anyone applying for a Brazil EVisa in the near future. My experience has been a merry-go-round nightmare. And after googling, I find that I am not the only one.
Applied over a month ago. Payment went through immediately. Of course.
First round they - did not like spouse photo, passport copy okay. My photo okay, not passport. Resend requested info for both.
Second round - accept spouse photo, reject passport copy (this was the original copy they accepted). Accept my passport, reject my photo that they originally accepted. Take new photo and resend.
Third round - spouse approved!! Yeah! Reject my new photo.
Fourth round - Reject my third photo. For reasons that make no sense. White background - check, shoulders squared - check, clear photo - check, no glasses and my ears showing - check, contrast in clothing - check (blue sweater). I resized and sent the same photo again.
Go online today to check status - use my log in, click check my status and it takes me to a new application page - complete with instructions on how to make payment.
Keep in mind several days go by before they reject something and when I had checked status before, it would just say pending.
I called today - long hold - they find my app and say they will put it through again as they can't find anything wrong with the application or photo. They will let me know in 3 business days. Adios money I spent on EVisa - I leave on Monday.
All I wanted to do was see the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls. I told spouse to go without me and take pictures.
