Thanks for the heads up.

I am currently in Dubai but can’t get my visa here either as they have just brought is a new ruling saying you have to be a resident of uae to be issued a tourist visa here. Crazy but not unexpected of Brazilian bureaucracy. I will ask for an extension once my 30 days are almost up.

Thanks again.

No, I don’t believe it is open on the weekend.

We got there on a Friday morning (thankfully). We were told the best time to go is between 8 and noon. Note they can only give a 30 day visa here renewable (for more money of course) for up to 90 days, but the nice part is you will have your visa in a few hours.

Getting it from the States is much better if that option is available to you.

Hi Guys, glad to hear you got your visa without issue this time at Puerto Iguazu. I am following in your footsteps and was orginally planning on getting my visa in Buenos Aires. But after reading your story about getting messed around there big time, I have decided to get it done also in Puerto Iguazu.
Just a question on the Brazilian consulate there in Puerto Iguazu, is it open on weekends or only during the week?

Wish you guys all the best for your journey.
