VITEM XI Visa

So I am about to start gathering everything I need for the VITEM XI Visa because my daughter (born in Brazil) and fiancé live in Brazil. I am going to be going through the Brazil Consulate in Boston Massachusetts. I am currently in Boston Massachusetts because I stayed my 180 days in Brazil this year already, so I want to get this visa so I can get back to my daughter and finance fast. I understand I need my daughter’s original birth certificate, so I am having my fiancé send her birth certificate to me tomorrow. But what is everything else I need? And what exact steps do I need to take? The consulates website is kind of basic it does not really explain everything in detail I want to make sure I do everything correctly.

09/22/24 @joeymendes31.  According to the Consulate's website, you're going to need these documents:


1) PASSPORT: Signed, valid up to the end of your trip and with at least one blank visa page available (amendment pages are not accepted).


2) VISA APPLICATION FORM: One per applicant, completely filled out online and signed by the passport holder or his/her parents/guardians. You will need to print only the receipt page with the bar code.


3) PHOTO: One recent 2” x 2” passport-photo size, front view, white background.


4) BACKGROUND CHECK: FBI Clearance or Local Police Department Clearance issued within the last six months.


5) BIRTH CERTIFICATE: copy of your birth certificate.


NOTE: Once in Brazil, you must present at Federal Police a second copy of your birth certificate authenticated by an Apostille. It should be also translated by a certified translator in Brazil (“tradutor juramentado”).


As you note, you will need your daughter's original Birth Certificate that shows you as the father.  If the Certificate does not show you as the father, your fiancée needs to talk to the cartório to have it revised.


As I mentioned in your other thread, you should have a duplicate of your FBI Background Check, with an apostille, with you when you go to Brazil in case the Polícia Federal ask for it.


Since your daughter and not your fiancée is the "Chamante", the Brazilian with whom your relationship is justifying your request, you may not need an any documentation from your fiancée.  The Consulate may request additional documents, though, and if they do you'll need to obtain them.  The most likely one would be an authenticated copy, both sides, of your fiancée's ID Card.
