Visa


A Visa to enter Brazil is required for citizens of several countries. Please check with your travel agent or with a local Brazilian Embassy/Consulate whether or not this applies to you.

In case you need a Visa, the Brazilian Consulate will request that you include in your application file a Visa Recommendation Letter. To get your Letter, please, send an e-mail to latw2009@inf.ufrgs.br, providing the following information:

  • Name;
  • e-mail;
  • Affiliation;
  • Name of Presentation (if applicable);
  • Postal Address (only necessary if the Brazilian Embassy/Consulate in your area requires the original);
The Visa recommendation letter will only be issued to speakers or attendees who have paid their registration fee. We will process your request and send the letter attached by e-mail. In case you need the original be sent by post, please, let us know.

Visa letters will state only the following facts:
  • Conference title, dates and location;
  • That the requester has paid the required registration fee in full;
  • Participation status: committee member, invited speaker, author or presenter;
