VISA : information on making an appointment

The Visa Application Reception Center for Brazil operated by IOM informs the general public that appointments for the VITEMIII humanitarian visa can only be made on the website: ( https://via.iom.int/appointment/booking/cavb ). Many people use the email address available for family reunification. Some try to make an appointment with the IOM outside Haiti. These alternatives will not make it easier to make an appointment. The technical team continues to work to facilitate the resumption of service. We therefore ask you to wait a little. We apologize for this situation which impacts appointment scheduling.
