Can a legal representative go to the embassy and get the visa stamp?

[Yojimbo]

Since I am in Japan and I applied through Caracas, I am wondering if I can have my legal representative in Venezuela (my brother) get the visa stamped for me.

I would mail him the passport for him to do the deed, and then he mails it back to me.

I've heard it is possible, but want to make sure. Any thoughts?

Yojimbo,

Yes it is done.  I have asked a friend to submit & receive passports on my behalf from Singapore.  I stay in Thailand.  Make sure you give the person a letter of authorization to act on your behalf.

You have now your passport with visa?
Congratulations to you and you family ...
