The process to apply for via e-consular () is very straight forward.

I have submitted everything and the next step is to get an email before I can book an appointment to the consulate.

My challenge is that the CPF application has the following instruction:

"Entregue este formul谩rio eadocumenta莽茫o em uma representa莽茫o diplom谩tica brasileira em at茅 15 dias"

Does this instruction apply to the submission via web or the visit at the consulate?

I am currently on day 14 and that's why I am worried....

Just a quick update on this rather simple process....

I finally got an email from the e-consular - on the 16th day after submission and I was invited to make an appointment at the consulate.

I immediately went online (within 10 mins of the email origination time) and the first and only available slot is 1 business day before I am due to leave for Brazil.

Interesting that I was asked to select an appointment slot - and there was only 1 choice.聽 I took it.

Good thing that I got an appointment but if I had another pre-planned event on that day, I can see this might require major re-scheduling.

Is this a typical experience?
