If you're having cold feet on your passport/visa photo there's a shop on NE corner of 40th & Lex that'll do passport photos in 5 mins for $10 bucks! (look for the American Airlines storefront)

Went early in the morning so the service was quick but it was also rude. I came during the World Cup and was not-so-nicely told to come back after it ended since my trip is in August.

Really efficient and organized. Be prepared to wait a bit and pay attention to your number being called (they'll skip you over if you don't run up there immediately), but I was really impressed.

Service is swift and inhuman at the tourist visa window so be prepared to run up to it as soon as they call your number or they will call up the next number in less than 10 seconds.

Don't wait until the printed date on the slip to pick up your visa. If it says ready for pickup on the online tracker you can get it & they don't even look at your assigned date.

Bring all required original documents, bring photocopies and don't forget to get the USPS money order ready! Safe travels everyone!

Americans could only wish the DMV was this efficient! Incredibly friendly service, too! Muito obrigada!

Visa hours are between 2-4pm. Get there early enough and you can get same day service.

Nice new digs. Clean, short wait, efficient and waaaaay better than any DMV. Obrigado!

Not sure how all these folks had such great experiences - they are understaffed and do not honor their posted hours. As of 8/1/14 they are processing visas by appointment only. Come back then!

Super convenient parking garage right across the street. Less than $10 for 30min!
Donna Sesto NearyJuly 18, 2013
Location moved: they are at. 225 East 41st Street, Get here early, take a number and sit back..
Cecilia SchieraDecember 19, 2011
I'm always in and out in two minutes. I always come in the last half hour before they stop taking new requests.
Adam GreenfieldSeptember 6, 2013
Completely painless, even friendly visa application process. In and out in under ten minutes!

The service is quite fast and polite, bilingual as well
Brian CostiganNovember 17, 2010
Even if you read all the instructions on the website TWICE - they will always find something you did wrong to force you to come back another day.
Timothy LyonsSeptember 8, 2014
Don't wait for your appointment time. You'll still take a number and wait 30 minutes or more.
Aaryn GoldbaumSeptember 17, 2013
Easiest visa experience ever. Come early and get a number.
Clarice FJune 18, 2012
I'm still wondering why they would make you set an appointment if it's obvious they run on Brazilian time.

Money order for visas- don't get a Duane Reade one for Moneygram, they /only/ take Postal Service ones. Meaning yes, you have to go to the Post Office. On 43rd bt 5th and 6th.

Just make sure you have all the paper works , see below attachés req.

Try to come at the middle of the day when it's not so busy!
Emilio CApril 15, 2015
Place to go if you need to settle some things with Brazil.

Its like going to the dmv but with different accents. Come early and still leave late.
Keaton KustlerDecember 30, 2011
Don't come right at 10:00 am, you will be stuck waiting in line, but by 10:30 there is no line!
Stephen LDecember 2, 2013
Very civilized experience obtaining a visa here.
