Getting a Brazil visa as a Pakistani citizen means dealing with the Brazilian Embassy in Islamabad directly. There's no e-visa option, and the process involves notarized Portuguese translations — something most other embassies don't require.

No consulates in Karachi or Lahore — all applicants must visit Islamabad or use courier.

Generic hotel bookings without matching dates raise flags
Documents older than 7 days from submission not accepted
Blurry photos or wrong dimensions cause delays
