For Brazilians and immigrants in Canada, the standard category is the B-2 or B1\/B2 visitor visa.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n\n <details>\n <summary>Do Brazilians living in Canada need a U.S. tourist visa?<\/summary>\n <div class=\"faq-ans\">\n <p>Yes. Brazilian citizens must apply for a B-2 or B1\/B2 visitor visa even if they live in Canada with a valid work permit or permanent residence. Living in Canada does not exempt Brazilian nationals from the visa requirement.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n\n <details>\n <summary>What is the DS-160 form?<\/summary>\n <div class=\"faq-ans\">\n <p>The DS-160 is the official online nonimmigrant visa application required for the B-2 tourist visa. It must be completed in English, submitted online and the confirmation page brought to the interview. All information must be accurate and consistent with your supporting documents.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n\n <details>\n <summary>How long does it take to get a U.S. tourist visa from Canada?<\/summary>\n <div class=\"faq-ans\">\n <p>Wait times in Canada are among the longest in the world for B1\/B2 visitor visas. As of 2025\u20132026, Toronto and Vancouver report average wait times of <strong>12 to 18 months or more<\/strong> for interview appointments. Do not make fixed travel commitments before your visa is approved. Start the process as early as possible and check the U.S. Department of State’s official wait time tool regularly for current availability.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n\n <details>\n <summary>Can Brazilians in Brazil also apply for a U.S. tourist visa?<\/summary>\n <div class=\"faq-ans\">\n <p>Yes. Brazilian citizens applying from Brazil follow the same standard process: complete the DS-160 form, pay the MRV fee, and schedule an interview at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Brazil \u2014 in S\u00e3o Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Bras\u00edlia, Recife or Porto Alegre. Wait times in Brazil are significantly shorter than in Canada, currently averaging <strong>1 to 3 months<\/strong> depending on the city. BRS Solutions assists Brazilian clients applying from both Canada and Brazil.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n\n <details>\n <summary>Can BRS Solutions help me apply?<\/summary>\n <div class=\"faq-ans\">\n <p>Yes.
