Brazilian Vice-Consulate in Iquitos

Apply for your eVisa

Overview

Where Brazil and Peru meet, the border is a river system — and Iquitos, the Amazon metropolis reachable only by air or water, is where Brazil keeps its second Peruvian post. From Calle Sargento Lores 363 in the city centre, the Vice-Consulate serves the department of Loreto, the vast region whose traffic with Brazil moves along the Amazon itself toward the tri-border at Santa Rosa, Tabatinga and Leticia. The working style is the region's: weekday mornings from 09:00 to 12:00, walk-in, no appointment needed — and an assistance mandate the post states with unusual clarity: Brazilian citizens in difficulty are helped regardless of their immigration status.

Visa Services

Visa and entry questions for Brazil from Loreto are answered here rather than in Lima — by email or at the morning counter, no appointment needed. Brazil's entry-document rules depend on nationality and purpose and are set federally; the post confirms specific cases, which matters in a river-border region with its own practical rhythms around the Santa Rosa tri-border crossing.

Consular Services

Brazilian citizens across Loreto get documents, notarial acts, registrations and — above all — assistance: the post can act in cases of detention, disappearance, hospitalisation, violence, serious illness or death, explicitly regardless of the citizen's immigration status. Walk-in weekday mornings; the emergency line +51 916 489 802 takes calls, SMS and WhatsApp beyond counter hours.

Service Area

The district is the department of Loreto — stated explicitly by the post. The rest of Peru belongs to the Setor Consular of the embassy in Lima.

Appointment Information

No appointments: the counter works Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 12:00 at Calle Sargento Lores 363, Centro. Phones +51 65 235 151 and +51 65 235 153; written matters to the post's email.

Special Notes

For emergencies involving Brazilian citizens the line +51 916 489 802 answers calls, SMS and WhatsApp. Local Peruvian emergency numbers the post itself recommends: SAMU medical 106, tourist police 980 122 202, Serenazgo Maynas 921 738 746. The post cannot pay medical or legal costs, nor repatriation of remains — Brazilian law does not permit it.

Frequently asked questions

No — the counter works walk-in, Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 12:00, at Calle Sargento Lores 363 in central Iquitos. This is the opposite of the Lima embassy's Setor Consular, which requires an e-consular appointment.

The department of Loreto, stated explicitly by the post — the Amazon region whose Brazilian traffic flows along the river toward the Santa Rosa–Tabatinga–Leticia tri-border. Everywhere else in Peru is handled by the embassy in Lima.

Yes — the post states its assistance mandate explicitly: Brazilian citizens facing difficulties, emergencies or legal problems in Loreto are helped regardless of their immigration status. What it cannot do, by Brazilian law, is pay medical or legal costs or fund repatriations.
