Holiday visa problem for kids $1000!

We have booked 6 days holiday in Brazil.

We are Australian and are having massive problems getting kids visa. We are a married couple traveling with 2 children.

The children’s form need to be signed by a “notary”. In Australia a notary is a senior lawyer appointed by a Supreme Court!!! The have quoted $800 ($600USD) - of course visa fee of $80USD is on top.

The consultant has advised a JP can sign - that is standard practice in Australia for authorising official documents and signatures. VFS (who issues visas) have rejected applications.

Any tips to get through to the local Qantas call centre? The difference between the local and off shore reps in ability to assist can be very different.

Would this area (the red dot) be safe for a quick 2 night stay. We have 2 nights, but only one full day to explore Santiago.

We are a family of 4 including kids so won’t be out super late in the evenings and will Uber at night. We would like to walk during the day and feel like we are in the older part of Santiago - not a modern/financial district.

We travel a lot so take usual/sensible approach to safety.

Thanks

Edit after a few comments: location chosen because apartment is very cool. But maybe not worth the location compromise

After getting flamed, by some, for my original itinerary (and in fairness it wasn’t the best), this is what I have landed on.

Will report back on how it goes. 🙌
