<p>When I got to Parintins, Brazil, my journalists badge was waiting for me so the Federal ID# worked. They never asked for any proof of the number, so I probably could have just as well given them #1234567890. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyhow, it was the most amazing festival I've ever seen anywhere. The colors, the costumes, the dancers, the music...it was 6 hours of non-stop enthusiasm...for three nights straight. <a href="http://dbhas.info/qVBrbq" target="_blank">Check out the photos</a> and a…</p>

<p>You're probably right on the number :)</p>
<p>The visa was $140 plus a $20 expediting fee. After speaking with two people familiar with Brazil, the reason it's so much is that's what we charge their citizens for a visa to the US. They raised theirs just to meet our price. (Thanks US.)</p>
<p>Luckily for me, their Washington consulate agreed to issue it in seven days. The two people I know that are from Brazil that came here recently each took over three months to get theirs from our…</p>

<p>We still don't know what number they asked for, only that the Federal ID # seemed to work. Maybe one of a slew of other numbers would have worked just as well!</p>
<p>Seems like getting the visa is still a hassle, even for travel writers. How much does it cost?</p>

So now we know which number they asked for, but I still can't figure out why a press trip organizer asked you for it. In any case, hope you have a good trip.
