Just a week ago, I saw on the news that a british teenager was killed and dismembered in Brazil.

I would never go there for fear of getting kidnapped and having my severed fingers sent to my family for ransom money.
Mohammed d’ali, the guy that killed the british teen, was Brazilian.

My family and I are traveling to Brazil for vacation. My wife is a resident alien from Mexico. She is going to get her passport at the Mexican consulate in Dallas, TX. She is also going to need a visa. Where does she go to get that? What is it, or what’s it for? What documents will she need for it? Can she get at the same time as her passport?
