Here is the message of Notice announced:

Notic For Afghans

The Brazilian Embassy has already placed and updated many times the messages on the
notice board and on the posters affixed to the gates of its premises which contain norms
and rules related to humanitarian visas to Brazil requested by Afghan nationals. Our
social networks and our web site have also plenty of information on the subject.
The Embassy has repeatedly double checked the names of applicants contained in
documents given to us by Afghans at the entrance of our building. NONE OF THEM IS
ENTITLED TO HAVE THIS REQUEST CONSIDERED. Be it because the application was not
presented within the legal deadline, be it because the applicants were not approved in
the interviews (the last interviews were carried out at the end of September 2023), be it
because of insufficient documentation, be it for any other reason.
Despite this, the agglomeration of Afghans in front of the Embassy continues, disturbing
our job and the tranquility of the neighbors, giving the opportunity for dishonest people to
deceive you with false information, promises that will never be fulfilled and the collection
of bribes.
With sadness we see that profiteers and some of your leaders with bad intentions are
telling lies to you, trying to convince you that the agglomeration in front of the Embassy,
the posters with dramatic appeals, and the insistence in resubmitting again and again
documents that have already been seen and reviewed by us, will make us break the rules
on humanitarian visas issued by the Brazilian government and lead us to accept
applications presented after October the 1st
, 2023.
If you Afghans do not read our messages and show no intention of respecting our
instructions, you are making clear that you have no conditions to live in Brazil, since with
the behavior you are showing is telling us that you will not respect the laws of Brazil.
Therefore, if such agglomerations in front of the Embassy persist, WE WILL BE FORCED
TO PROPOSE TO THE BRAZILIAN GOVERNMENT THE REVOKATION OF THE POLICY OF
GRANTING HUMANITARIAN VISAS FOR AFGHANS.
In this case, since you have chosen to obey your dishonest leaders and not our officials,
and since you always return to our gates after the police called by the neighbors leaves
the area, the next messages that you will find in our premises and in our social networks
will be that – for the reasons explained here – not only we will continue to deny to examine
visa applications submitted after the deadline, but also any applications for such visas
submitted by Afghans, since this nationality will be excluded in future regulations on
humanitarian visas that may be approved by Brazil.
We hope that we will not be forced to take such drastic measures against citizens who
we respect and who have suffered so much due to the sad events that have taken place
in Afghanistan in the recent past. But if Afghans do not respect our rules here in Iran, as
you are showing every day in front of our Embassy, there is no reason to believe that in
Brazil you will respect Brazilian laws. You may agree that this is more than sufficient
reason to revoke our policy of humanitarian visas for Afghan citizens. And you alone will
have to accept the blame for that.
Tehran, May 1st, 2024

The embassy had already announced on April 17 for Afghan applicants as follows:

It seems that Afghans not only paid attention to this message but also gathered outside the embassy and disturbed the work of the embassy and its neighbors, so the embassy attached the last notice.
