Consular sections are open to the public Monday through Friday, except on Brazilian and American holidays. As the hours for each consular section vary, please check the Contact Information and Working Hours page to find out the appropriate address and working hours. Do I need a visa to enter the United States? Yes. A valid visa is a requirement for all Brazilians to enter the United States, even if they are simply transiting a U.S. airport. However, if you are a Brazilian citizen but also carry a passport from a country participating in the Visa Waiver Program (dual nationals), then you may not need to have a U.S. visa if you travel using that other passport. Do I need a visa even if I’m only transiting the U.S? I’m only spending a couple of hours at the airport. Yes. As of August 2, 2003, all international air passengers who travel through the United States for transit purposes require a transit visa.
