Brazilian Embassy in Lima

No sender is more of a neighbour to Peru than Brazil: the two countries share the longest land border either of them has — nearly three thousand kilometres of it, all Amazonian — and the relationship runs from the Interoceanic Highway to river trade on the Amazon itself. The embassy breaks the diplomatic quarter's pattern too, sitting not in San Isidro but on Avenida José Pardo in Miraflores, a few blocks from the malecón. The chancery handles a bilateral agenda of continental weight — trade, infrastructure, Amazon cooperation, border integration — while the Setor Consular inside the embassy processes passports, visas, notarial acts and citizen assistance, with in-person service strictly by appointment through Brazil's e-consular system. The geography also explains Brazil's second Peruvian post: a Vice-Consulate in Iquitos, deep in the shared Amazon, covering the department of Loreto where the border is a river rather than a line.

Visa matters for Brazil are handled by the embassy's Setor Consular, by e-consular appointment, with written enquiries to the consular email. Entry-document rules for Brazil are set by its federal authorities and differ by nationality and purpose — confirm your specific case through the Setor Consular's official channels before travelling; residents of Loreto department deal with the Vice-Consulate in Iquitos instead.

Brazilian citizens in most of Peru are served by the Setor Consular in Miraflores: passports and travel documents, notarial acts including powers of attorney, registrations and citizen assistance — in person by e-consular appointment. The duty line +51 985 039 263 (calls and WhatsApp) exists exclusively for emergencies involving Brazilian citizens: deaths, arrests, human trafficking, violence, destitution, serious accidents and hospitalisations.

Brazil is one of Peru's principal trading partners in the region, with an exchange spanning Brazilian manufactured goods, vehicles and food products against Peruvian minerals, fishery goods and agricultural exports — plus the border economy itself, from the Interoceanic Highway corridor to Amazon river commerce. The embassy's trade promotion section supports companies in both directions.

The cultural relationship moves along the same axes as the geography: Portuguese-language programmes and Brazilian cultural seasons in Lima, academic exchange, and the shared Amazon identity that keeps scientific and environmental cooperation constant between the two countries.

The embassy and its Setor Consular cover Peru, with one carve-out: the department of Loreto belongs to the Vice-Consulate of Brazil in Iquitos. Honorary consulates complement the network.

In-person consular service strictly by appointment, requested through Brazil's e-consular system; written enquiries to the Setor Consular's email. The chancery switchboard is +51 1 512 0830.

The duty line +51 985 039 263 answers calls and WhatsApp messages for genuine emergencies involving Brazilian citizens only — the embassy is explicit that it is not an information channel. Residents of Loreto: your post is the Vice-Consulate in Iquitos, which works walk-in without appointments.
