I am a US citizen and resident of Panama. How do I go about obtaining a Brazil tourist visa here? Most of the info on the Brazilian website deals with being in the same country you are a citizen of. Anyone have experience with this?

I am not an expert and I am sure others here will know for sure but my guess is you can go to the US Embassy in Panama City.

Hello,

The above information is incorrect, you can't get a Brazil visa at the US Embassy. You need to apply for your VITUR Tourist Visa at the Consulado-Geral do Brasil in Panama:

Ed. el Dorado ,Zona Bancaria,
Calle Elvira Méndez 24,
Panamá
+507 263-5322

You make the initial application online at the site linked below:

https://scedv.serpro.gov.br/frscedv/man … tbr#inicio

Then you can take your passport to the Consulado for processing. Some accept applications with passports sent by mail or courier service. Check with them first before mailing anything.

Cheers,
