Does Brazil require a visa?

To visit Brazil, citizens of different countries may need different types of visas, depending on the purpose of their trip.

If you are planning a vacation in Brazil or a short-term business trip, a visitor visa (VIVIS), which is usually issued for up to 90 days, will suffice.

Many countries have visa-free entry agreements with Brazil, allowing their citizens to stay in the country for up to 90 days without a visa. Such countries include, for example, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and European Union countries.

Visitor visas are also available through the eVisa electronic visa system. However, to date, only citizens of Australia, Canada and the United States can apply for an eVisa to Brazil.

A transit visa to Brazil may be required depending on whether you leave the airport transit area and the time of your stay. In most cases, if your connecting flight in Brazil is within 24 hours and you are not leaving the international transit zone, a visa is not required. However, if you plan to leave the airport or the transit period exceeds 24 hours, a transit visa may be required. In this case, if you are a citizen of a visa-exempt country, you will need to apply for a visitor visa (VIVIS).

For studies, employment and official work in Brazil, as well as other activities involving a long-term stay in the country, citizens of all countries are required to apply for the appropriate type of visa.
