Visa health care for tourists in Brazil
For the foreigner who is already legally in Brazil and his health does not recommend the removal or displacement to their country of origin, a visa health care can be provided by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
However, when it comes to situations caused by diseases or trauma occurred after the entry of the foreigner in Brazil and which result in total inability to remove to the country of origin, you will need a medical report to assess the health condition or the impossibility to return abroad, including evidence that you are under medical responsibility.
The visa application for health care may be formalized by a spouse, eldest son, legal representative or foreigner attorney before the visa expires.
The documents to be submitted for the visa in Brazil are the same requirements for issuing visas abroad.
If you still have questions about the requirements for visa application in health care, look for Brazilian Embassy in your country or an agency specializing in health tourism.
