The cretins at the Brazilian Embassy in Washington only gave me a 90 day visa, which means I have to reapply for another for my February Trip (which I provided documentary evidence of, along with a polite cover letter requesting a discretionary 5-year visa)

Not really PassportExpress' fault, though. I was quite pleased with their service. 21 Days for an early-renewal passport and Brazilian Visa was pretty good, considering some of the time-frames I've heard quoted here. My passport had 3 years left on it, but was full of stamps, and had stamps on the amendments/endorsements section, so no pages could be added (hence the early renewal).

Still a PITA that I have to get another Brazilian Visa, especially considering it takes up a whole page
