Authorisation to Return to Brazil - ARB
The ARB (Authorisation for Return to Brazil) allows the holder to make one single direct journey to Brazil. Flights with stopovers at international airports, in which the passenger does not leave the boarding area, are considered direct journeys to Brazil.
The issue of the ARB is done at the Embassy's discretion, according to each circumstance.
The ARB is valid during the period necessary to complete the journey; usually up to 7 days.
Please read carefully all instructions regarding documents required for ARB applications in the following table.
