Ola Vida -

It is different today with the new online SCEDV form, or Sistema de Controle e Emissao de Documentos de Viagem, version v3.6.7

My son is in California and went through this recently with his US Passport. One quick visit to the Consulate, and not 2 or 3.

The SCEDV form please note is not in English, and must be filled out online. Although it can be printed, it must be filled out and submitted live, as it were, online. One either needs to read and speak the language, or have someone help with the (such as yourself Vida) who can read or speak Portuguese.

That essentially completes the first part of the paperwork process that previously required one of two or more visits to the Consulate. The SCEDV is completed online to expedite that phase.

Once a protocol date / time is provided back to the applicant by the Consulate, the applicant for the visa takes his or her passport to the consulate for interview and verification. Once completed and accepted, the visa is issued and stamped into the passport.

Pages 1-4 of the SCEDV, entitled Formulario de Solicitao de Visto, are required to be completed and submitted online.

I agree that clearly, it is cutting it very close to his travel date. You will agree that as he already is "in process" having submitted his SCEDV, there is not much an expediter can do at this stage.
