Hi folks,
Anyone know if we can get a tourist VISA to Brazil while in Argentina or Brazil. Any idea on how hard it would be?
Thanks,

I'm not sure. Please see the following:

You definitely need the visa, I'm just not sure if you can get one at the Brazilian embassy in Argentina or Uraguay. regardless, i would try to get it in the U.S. before you leave.

I don't see any reason why you should not be able to get your visa from the Brazilian embassy in Argentina. I almost exclusively get all my visas from overseas embassies and consulates, which I find to be far quicker and more efficient than in the US.

IME, the airline is only concerned that the pax can legally enter the country that the airline delivers them to. Beyond that, it is no longer the airline's responsibility.

This is my preferred mode of travel, and in hundreds of trips requiring visas, I have never had a problem.
