Electronic Visitor Visa (e-Visa)

Required documents for e-Visas  (Tourism/Business)

Stays Up to 90 Days

Citizens travelling with passports from Australia, Canada and the United States visiting Brazil for tourism and business will be subject to visa requirements for entry into Brazilian territory starting from April 10th, 2025. These citizens can require e-Visas through the portal https://brazil.vfsevisa.com/. The process is easy, and quick and if the requirements mentioned below are met, in a few days the applicant will receive the e-Visa on his or her e-mail.

UPDATE:
The measure will come into effect on April 10th 2025.

In order to ensure that everyone travels on their scheduled dates and to avoid any inconvenience to American passport holders, the Brazilian government has decided to extend the tourist visa waiver until April 10, 2025. After this date, all U.S. passport holders will be required to obtain a visa to travel to Brazil. Travelers entering the country before April 10, 2025, may stay for the entire duration of their visit without a visa, regardless of their departure date.

Attention: Electronic visas (e-Visa) are only for citizens of Australia, Canada and the United States.
