Brazil Tourist Visa, general information
Brazil welcomes millions of visitors each year, and for many travelers, obtaining a tourist visa (or e-Visa) is an essential step before arrival. A Brazilian tourist visa allows foreign nationals to enter the country for leisure, cultural activities, short-term visits, events, and sightseeing. It does not permit employment or long-term residence.
For travelers who require it, the process of securing a Brazilian tourist visa is typically straightforward and can often be completed entirely online. This makes it easier for visitors to prepare for their trip in advance, ensuring they have the proper authorization before boarding their flight. The visa serves as official permission to enter the country and outlines the conditions of stay, such as length of visit, number of entries permitted, and whether extensions are possible.
What is the Brazil e-Visa for US / Canada / Australia nationals
The requirement for U.S., Canadian and Australian passport-holders to obtain a tourist or business visa was reinstated by Brazilian authorities, based on the principle of reciprocity. The official date when the visa requirement takes effect again is 10 April 2025. From that date onward, these nationals will need to obtain an electronic visa (e-Visa) before traveling to Brazil. The e-Visa replaces the need to go to a Brazilian consulate or embassy — you apply entirely online, making the process more convenient and accessible. The e-Visa is issued for multiple entries, with validity similar to traditional visas for these nationalities.
What the e-Visa Allows — Conditions of Stay
-
Travelers with the e-Visa can visit Brazil for leisure, cultural activities, short-term business or social visits.
-
They are allowed to enter Brazil multiple times during the validity period of the visa.
