E-visas Available for Brazil
Since November 21, 2017, Brazil has offered the option of online e-visas for Australians to save the visits to Brazil embassies and consulates. Sounds good, any experiences to share?
E-visas will be offered to Americans, Canadians and Japanese as of January, 2018. The e - visas are to be done within 72 hours.

So conditions make the e-visa a better deal for Australians, while that is apparently not the case for US passport holders. Apparently an e-visa valid for 2 years is going to be the same fee as a 10 year visa by "regular" channels, for US passport holders.

Would love to make a quick trip to GIG in a couple weeks. As a US Citizen, am I safe making bookings for the first week of Feb knowing that E-Visas will be available beginning at end of Jan?

You live in Brazil and you know things are never on time so for something to be on time is unusual. Therefore for you to recommend to a stranger to go ahead and buy a possibly non-refundable ticket based on the assumption Brasil will get US e-visas done on time is unwise and reckless, IMHO.

The Brazilian Ministrio das Relaes Exteriores sent out a video today, through the local Brazilian Consulate's Facebook page, announcing that the e-visa program will indeed begin functioning today.

Please do not follow the link suggested by VidaNaPraia! That's not the official website!
It is no wonder that he has been saying that the e-visa will cost the same as the normal visa, but with a shorter validity. He is terribly misinformed.
Please find below the official website for the visa application:

The Brazilian government chose VFS Global as its service provider. I believe VFS Global is widely recognized as a visa processing company for many countries.
Since earlier today US nationals have been able to place their e-visa applications.

The URL I cited was the one posted yesterday on the Brazilian Consulate in Boston's (Consulado-Geral do Brasil em Boston) Facebook page yesterday, with a video from the Brazilian Ministrio das Relaes Exteriores announcing the start of the program.
Excuse me for assuming that the Consulate, an organ of the Brazilian government, might know what they were talking about. No wonder I am "terribly misinformed", crediting what the Brazilian government has said.
