Is Brazil worth the time, cost, and hassle of getting a visa? I wanted to spend 4 days in Rio and 3 in Sao Paulo.
I've thought about going to Brazil a few times but always decided on other destinations because the Brazilian visa didn't seem worth the trouble especially since the life of the visa was so short.</font>
Unless they have changed it recently, the tourist visas are good for multiple entries for 5 years (but you must enter for the first time within 90 days of obtaining the visa).
