The U.S. Consulate General continues to mourn the loss of life and property owing to the disastrous weather situation in Rio Grande do Sul. With the safety of the public and our staff as our top priority, the U.S. Consulate General in Porto Alegre will remain closed to the public, including for visa services, through May 24, 2024. We will remain available 24/7 to provide services to U.S. citizens with emergencies.

All applicants with routine appointments scheduled for these days will receive information about how to reschedule their appointments.

Those interested in obtaining a visa to the United States may apply at the Embassy in Brasilia or at the U.S. Consulates in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Recife.
