I got a Brazilian visa at the Embassy in Lima in 2000. It cost USD $30-35 for a 5 year. It took a couple of days. Then my passport expired. I could have used the visa in my old passport but that would require me carrying the expired one with the valid one. I decided against it. I went to up to the city (SF) and got another visa. 2 photos were required both in Peru and in San Francisco. In Peru I had to go to the bank across the street to pay my fee. In SF I wrote them a check and got my visa on the spot good for 5 years. Note: My receipt from the Brazilian embassy in Peru states the fee is "in reciprocity of the fee charged" by the USA visa to Brazilians......Greg
