Payments at the Brazilian consulate in Lisbon can be made with Pix

The Brazilian consulate in Lisbon will start accepting Pix payments for various services from November. This initiative, approved by Itamaraty, positions Lisbon as the first consulate globally to implement this popular payment method among Brazilians. Buenos Aires will also participate in this pilot project. Services like passport issuance and certificates are expected to be payable via Pix. The consulate serves over 360,000 Brazilians and has previously launched other diplomatic projects. Additionally, the Central Bank of Brazil is working on integrating Pix with European payment systems, expanding its international presence.
