1 mission of Brazil in Lithuania: Consulate of Brazil in Vilnius, Lithuania. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Jaunius Gumbis, Honorary Consul (as listed in the diplomatic list of Lithuania, 17 Nov 2024)
Brazil offers a rich array of vibrant cultures and stunning landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some Lithuanian travelers. With a well-developed tourism infrastructure that includes famous beaches and the Amazon rainforest, it could attract a portion of the 700,000 Lithuanians who travel abroad annually.
Brazil presents a different safety landscape for tourists compared to Lithuania. While Lithuania ranks 31st in the Global Peace Index and has a low murder rate of 2.6 per 100,000 people, Brazil is ranked 129th and has a significantly higher murder rate of 22.5 per 100,000 people. Lithuania is generally considered safer, especially when walking alone at night, whereas Brazil faces challenges with organized crime and violence. For instance, Brazil's indices in the Global Organized Crime Index indicate higher levels of mafia presence (7.5), state crime (8.5), and drug trafficking (cocaine trade rated at 9.0) compared to Lithuania, which scores much lower across these categories. Therefore, while many tourists visit Brazil without incident, it is advisable for Lithuanian tourists to remain vigilant and informed about their surroundings and to take necessary precautions while traveling in Brazil.
