Important Brazil Visa Info 

All international delegates attending the Billion Soul Harvest Global Summit 2026 in Brazil, November 4–8, are responsible for confirming whether they need a visa based on their nationality, passport type, and purpose of travel.

Requesting a Visa Invitation Letter

Billion Soul Harvest is the Summit sponsor but is not the host organization in Brazil. Therefore, Billion Soul Harvest cannot issue visa invitation letters.

If an invitation letter is required, please EMAIL the Brazil host church directly at:

ghs@igrejadacidade.org.br   (please CC: billionsoulharvest@gmail.com)

Please provide the following information accurately and as soon as possible:

• Full name as shown on your passport

• Church name

• City and country of origin

• Email address

• Phone number

• Complete physical address

• Clear copy of your passport

Each traveler, including a spouse, must request an invitation letter separately. When sending a passport copy, please verify that you are using the exact email address shown above.

Important: An invitation letter supports a visa application but does not guarantee visa approval or admission into Brazil.
