The visitor visa allows a stay of up to 90 days in Brazil. The holder of a VIVIS is not allowed to exercise paid activities. A VIVIS may be issued for travelers with the following purposes: tourism, business, transit, artistic or sports activities, study (short courses), volunteer work, or to attend conferences, seminars or meetings, among other purposes - provided there is no remuneration in Brazil and the stay does not exceed 90 days.
