Passports, Visas and Transportation Passports and visas are required for a trip to Brazil. While it is the responsibility of each student to obtain their passport and visa, the program director will provide additional information upon inquiry. Generally, one should contact the nearest State Department Office or United States Post Office for information concerning passports and the most available location of a Brazilian Consulate for a visa. In order to expedite the process the program director will provide each student a letter explaining the nature and duration of the program. Each student participating in the Sao Paulo program will be responsible for arranging his or her own transportation to and from Brazil.
Airlines provide a variety of reduced fare plans and early booking can create substantial savings.
Summer flights to Brazil are quickly filled, so early travel arrangements should be made. Major airlines such as Delta, American and Varig have direct flights to Sao Paulo from major cities in the United States. Students should plan to arrive early on Sunday, July 1, at Grarulhos. Additional information concerning travel within Brazil will be provided to interested students in early 2001. Local Transportation Transportation will be furnished from the airport to the hotel if the students plan their travel schedule to arrive at the Grarulhos International Airport within the timeframe to be determined by the program director.
