	Visas to citizens wishing to travel to Brazil are now digitally issued through the new Integrated Consular System. &nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
	Applicants must now first fill out a&nbsp;<a href="http://scedv.serpro.gov.br/">Visa Aplication Form</a>&nbsp;at the &ldquo;SCEDV&ldquo; (Sistema de Emiss&atilde;o e Controle de Documentos de Viagem) web page. After the application is submitted and a protocol number is generated, applicants must print the visa form delivery receipt.<strong>PLEASE MAKE SURE TO VERIFY IF YOU HAVE THE LATEST JAVA SOFTWARE INSTALLED IN YOUR COMPUTER. TO DOWNLOAD GO TO,</strong>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.java.com/en/">http://www.java.com/en/</a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
	<u>ATTENTION:</u>&nbsp;As the new ICP-Brasil channel is not yet automatically recognized by international browsers, the access to the site &ldquo;SCEDV&rdquo; may be preceded by a security warning. Applicants should proceed and enter the site with confidence on its safety and reliability.</p>
