When it comes to matters of health, a quality and efficient handling is required irrespective of age, disease and severity. This holds true for both the patient as well as the hospital. Unfortunately for some, quality care either get terribly expensive or a delayed process, given how the medical system works in certain parts of the world. This, in turn, could lead to worsening of the situation, and for many of us that does sound scary. The fact that we are mortals leads us to a simple conclusion, humans have a propensity to fall prey to the clutches of ill-health. Given that fact, why not keep oneself informed and educated about inexpensive yet quality ways of seeking medical care? Here’s your chance to get up and notice a “revolution of sorts” happening around you. Brining relief to millions across the world, medical tourism has attained a celebrity status. On the forefront of this are various developing nations furthering the cause of global healthcare. The rich and the not-so-rich, both deserve access to good medical services, fast. This is where being a medical tourist helps. Putting off elective procedures due to high-cost involved is totally understandable. Not undergoing a cosmetic treatment won’t threaten your life, but what about urgent conditions? They, for one, definitely need a swift response.

You neither have to wait too long before you meet a specialist nor dig deep into your wallets to provide for the treatment. All you got to do is travel to health tourism of your choice, and the rest is taken care of. Making you feel at home, the private hospitals catering to the global medical tourists are exactly like the ones in your homeland, the only difference being the cost. For the past decade or so, fast-paced technological advancements, improvement in the standards of hygiene and care and scientific breakthroughs have propelled nations such as India, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong towards a better medical system. Cashing-in on this positive trend, many hospitals have upgraded themselves to a more global platform. Characteristics such as state-of-the-art infrastructure, world-class equipment, experienced specialists, trained nursing staff, and an efficient administration define them. Any medical treatment and procedure that you can possibly think of can be found in a medical tourism hub. And, that’s not all. These hospitals are backed by proper certification from Joint Commission International Accreditation Standards for Hospitals, making them as authentic as any hospital in the developed nation. Medical tourism is not only an opportunity towards better life at a reasonable cost but also a chance to visit a new place, experience new cultures, and witness a way of living distinct from yours. Many health tourism packages come attached with a small yet highly interesting chance of a vacation. Don’t waste time, you know you need that surgery and you need it fast. Put an end to living with debilitating conditions and welcome an improved life, travel to a medical tourism destination today.

Brazil has a reciprocal visa policy with all countries, meaning that whenever prices and restrictions are applied to Brazilian visiting a country, Brazil adopts the same measures for that country’s visitors.
Citizens from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay may enter the country with a valid ID card and stay up to 90 days.
No visa is required for stays of up to 90 days from holders of passports from these countries, unless otherwise indicated: Andorra, Argentina, Austria, Bahamas, Barbados, Belgium, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Czech Rep., Denmark, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Hong Kong SAR passport, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, South Korea, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macau, Malaysia, Sovereign Military Order of Malta, Monaco, Morocco, Namibia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Suriname, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Trinidad & Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, United Kingdom (Including British National (Overseas) passport holders), Uruguay , Venezuela (60 days) and Vatican City. Note that the immigration officer has the right to restrict your visa to less than 90 days, if he deems fit. (This has been done routinely for lone male travellers arriving in Fortaleza, allegedly to combat prostitution tourism.) He will then state the number of days (e.g. 60 or 30) in pen writing inside the stamp just given in your passport; if not, it remains as 90 days. Note that even if you receive a tourist visa that is valid for a longer period of time, a tourist visa is invalid unless it has been initially used within ninety days of its issue.

Citizens from the following countries currently need a visa for Brazil: Angola, Armenia, Australia, Canada, Cape Verde, China (not including Hong Kong and Macau, see above), Cyprus, El Salvador, India, Indonesia, Iran, Jamaica, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Russia, Syria, Taiwan, the United States, former Soviet countries and others not listed above (complete list – Portuguese only).
Citizens from Canada and The United States do require visas. Americans have to pay at least US1 for a tourist visa and US1 for a business visa. As of November 2008, citizens of Canada should expect to pay at least CDN$ 117.00 for a tourist visa not including any handling or processing fees.
Tourist visas (including those granted on the spot in immigration control, as for most Europeans) can be extended at any office of the Policia Federal. All state capitals, and most border towns and international ports have one. Tourist visas only be extended once, for a maximum of 90 days, and under no circumstances can you be granted more than 180 days with a tourist visa for any 365-day period. You should contact the federal police about 1 week before your visa expires. The handling fee is currently R$ 67 (Oct. 2008). You may be asked for an outbound ticket (book a fully refundable one on the internet, then cancel when your visa is extended), and a proof of subsistance (for which your credit card is mostly accepted.) In order to apply for the extension, you must fill out the Emissão da Guia de Recolhimento on the Federal Police website, which you will carry to the Banco do Brasil in order to pay the fee. Do not pay the fee until you have spoken with a federal police officer about your case. If she/he denies the extension of your visa, you must have a bank account in Brazil in order to receive a refund
