    ¶3. Mission understands that no Embassy assistance is required and
    that traveler has a NACI security clearance.

    ¶4. Visitors are reminded that all US citizens traveling to Brazil
    for any purpose require visas, which must be obtained in advance
    from a Brazilian Embassy or Consulate. "Airport visas" do not exist,
    and immigration authorities will refuse entry to anyone without a
    valid visa.  All Brazilian visas are considered invalid regardless
    of validity if not used within 90 days of issuance.

    ¶5. Visitors should be current with all immunizations required for
    Brazil.  Those arriving from flights that do not originate in the
    United States are advised to ensure that their yellow fever
    vaccination is up to date, and that they have their WHO yellow cards
    with them to prove it.  If you require a yellow fever vaccination
    and it is for the first time, not a booster, it should be given at
    least 10 days before travel to be effective.  Please consult with
    appropriate medical authorities before traveling.

    ¶6. Please find below information needed for the cities to be
    visited:

    - Brasilia -
    The United States Embassy in Brasilia is located at Avenida das
    Nacoes, Quadra 801, Lote 3, telephone number (from U.S.)
    011+(55)(61) 3312-7000, fax number (from U.S.) 011+(55) (61)
    3312-7676.  Emergencies and calls after normal business hours may be
    directed to Post One at 011+(55)(61) 3312-7400.

    Belem is within the district of the U.S. Embassy Brasilia.

    ¶7. Persons entering Brazil under the USG auspices have an important
    role to play in strengthening U.S. - Brazil cooperation.  Please
    keep this priority in mind during your visit and inform the embassy
    or nearest consulate promptly of any opportunities or problems that
    arise.  As a result of the imposition of biometric enrolment of the
    US-VISIT program, the Government of Brazil started fingerprinting
    and photographing arriving U.S. citizens in January 2004.  Present
    GOB policy is not to fingerprint U.S. travelers arriving on official
    or diplomatic visas.  It is possible, however, that official
    visitors could be asked to submit to a fingerprinting through
    administrative error.  The Embassy hopes that visitors will comply
    with reasonable requests from the Brazilian immigration authorities.
     Any unusual delays or unreasonable treatment should be brought to
    the attention of the Management Officer so they can be relayed to
    the GOB.  Full cooperation with the identification procedures is
    advisable.

    ¶8. Please find below some information on Administrative procedures
    and requirements:

    ¶A. Each visitor, regardless of length of stay, must bring/forward
    fiscal data to pay for direct costs of the visit.  Each agency,
    organization or visiting delegation will be charged for the actual
    costs attributed to its visit.  Direct charge costs include, but are
    not limited to:

    -- American and LES overtime (for such services as airport
    expediting, cashier accommodation exchange, control room staffing,
    representational event support);
    Travel and per diem costs incurred by post personnel in support of
    visitor's field travel;

    BRASILIA 00000717  002 OF 002

    -- Rental of vehicles and other equipment;
    -- Long distance telephone calls;
    -- Office supplies;
    -- Gasoline and other vehicle maintenance costs;
    -- Departure tax and other airport fees.

    Post will not provide service if fiscal data is not provided for the
    direct charges.

    ¶B. For TDYers remaining at post over 30 days, there is a charge for
    ICASS support services.  This charge is for the following ICASS
    services and will be billed thru the ICASS TDY module, based on a
    per-capita-basis, prorated for the length of stay.  For example, a
    TDY visit by one USG employee of 06 months' duration would be
    counted as 0.5:
    -- Basic Package;
    -- Community Liaison - CLO;
    -- Health Services.

    ¶C. If your sponsoring agency is not signed up for ICASS services at
    post, please be prepared to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
    document for ICASS support services upon arrival.  The agency should
    provide post with a written communication generated by the
    traveler's headquarters that confirms the agency will pay ICASS
    charges for the TDYer.  The communication should include the agency
    ICASS billing code to which the TDY support should be charged and
    authorize the traveler to sign the ICASS invoice generated by the
    TDY module.  Agencies will not be billed until the accumulated
    invoice cost for TDY support exceeds Dols 2,500 for the fiscal year.
     Where travel is urgent, the TDYers should bring this documentation
    with him/her to ensure there are no interruptions in the provision
    of service.  Post will not provide any service to a TDYer staying in
    excess of thirty days without provision of this documentation before
    day 31 of the TDY.

    ¶9. Crime is the principal and real threat to visitors to Brazil.
    The crime threat level in Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and
    Recife is critical.  Armed street robberies are common in these
    cities.  The area in and around the hotel sector in Brasilia is
    extremely dangerous, especially at night.  Embassy visitors have
    been robbed under gunpoint while walking on the street.  Taxis and
    private vehicles should be used to move about.

    ¶10. In addition, individuals and organizations with ties to
    extremist groups operate in the tri-border area between Brazil,
    Paraguay and Argentina - this includes the Iguacu falls area.
    Official visitors contemplating travel to this area should contact
    the Embassy before doing so, as well as Embassy Asuncion and/or
    Embassy Buenos Aires if they plan to cross into Paraguay and/or
    Argentina.

    ¶11. Visitors should practice common sense preventative security
    techniques, just as they would in any large city in the world.  Some
    of the more important tips that you should follow to avoid becoming
    a crime victim are:

    -- Do not carry or wear valuable items that will attract the
    attention of thieves.  If you need to wear expensive jewelry or
    carry a camera; conceal it until you arrive at your destination.

    -- Be aware of the street environment and avoid contact with those
    who may be looking for robbery targets.  Seek a safer location.  Go
    into a store, bank or simply cross the street.

    -- Do not physically resist any robbery attempt.  While this is a
    personal decision, statistics show that resistance leads to injury.

    -- Do not answer your hotel room door until you positively confirm
    who is on the other side.  Look out the peephole, or call the front
    desk to confirm the visitor.

    -- Do not walk on the beaches after dark.  Assaults are common.

    -- Avoid city buses.  Many pass through high crime areas and are
    susceptible to robberies.

    ¶12. Visitors who intend to bring U.S. Government portable
    microcomputers into the embassy or consulate must obtain prior
    approval from the systems manager and the RSO/PSO.  The use of
    privately owned computers is discouraged in any government
    facility.
