Just pay the fee, fill out the simple application and get going to enjoy Brazil...which is fun, but can be dangerous...like anyplace.

And why does Brazil require this? Brazil requires it since Brazilian citizens are required to have visas to visit the US. The cost is around $140 for a tourism visa.

That's right. Tit for Tat. If the US requires it of another country, they return the favor. For a long time we needed a visa for France.

I've been to Rio and as I recall the booking agent took care of all the paperwork. I may have had to go to the embassy in LA to pick it up though.
